Concrete slab on elastic foundation under one axle load

Abstract

The paper is dedicated to the dynamical analysis of an isolated concrete slab on an elastic foundation to moving load effect of one axle load. The computational models of one axle load and a slab are mathematically described by the system of ordinary differential equations. The equations of motion are solved numerically in the environment of program system MATLAB. The plate response and dynamic load are monitored at a certain speed and certain initial conditions, depending on the properties of the elastic subgrade.
