Finite element method analysis of slabs on elastic half space expansive soil foundations /

A finite element computer program has been developed to analyze slabs on elastic half space expansive as well as compressible soils. Mindlin orthotropic plate theory is adopted for structural analysis of ribbed or constant thickness slabs. The foundation soil is assumed to be an isotropic, homogen...
