SMALL-SCALE MODEL STUDY TO DETERMINE MINIMUM HORIZONTAL DIMENSIONS FOR 'INFINITE' SLAB BEHAVIOR,
Abstract
The report presents the results of testing to observe the effect of reducing slab size on strains produced by loads applied statically through single circular loaded areas at various points on the surface of the slab. The purpose of the study was to determine the limiting horizontal dimensions of a slab, in terms of radius of relative stiffness, such that a slab smaller would no longer behave as though of infiniete horizontal extent. A discussion of the physical properties of the model materials and a description of the construction and instrumentation of the model slab are given. The report includes an analysis and discussion of the test results. (Author)
