ABSTRACT

Systematic approach to the construction of a probabilistic simulation model for distribution of pressure in granular media. Pressure fields & compressive deformations from that model presented for a thrustless granular medium & homogeneous or stratified earth foundation. General solutions incorporating partial cases of thrustless & thrusting granular media.
