Elastic Foundation Beam Analysis on Rigid Pavement and Piles

Abstract

In this study, the rigid pavement structure and pile foundation were modeled as the foundation of the Winkler elastic beam. for pavement with distribution loads and traffic loads, and variations in support. While for pile foundations with lateral loads. Solution of analytical differential equations with computer applications (CAS) Maple. The aim of this research are : (a). To know whether completion of algebraic computer application can be obtained by analytically method or numerically method, (b). To check whether analytical model is possible to be applied to various loads at any point in the beam or not, (c). Where of the strength or the displacement boundary to be located in the beam during load application, (d). To verify an approach possibility implementation of a simple computer algebra system, (e). To know whether achieved solutions which possible to solve ordinary differential equation (ODE) can be implemented in any mathematical system.
