Summary

By studying the response of a two layered foundation to surface loading, the Kerr foundation model is shown to be identical to a Vlasov foundation model. As a consequence of the analysis, expressions for the shear and spring constants of the Kerr foundation, are obtained.

Zusammenfassung

Durch Untersuchung des Verhaltens einer zweischichtigen Gründung unter Oberflächenbelastung wird gezeigt, daß das Kerrsche Modell mit dem von Wlassow identisch ist. Daraus werden Ausdrücke für Schubund Federkonstanten des Kerrschen Modelles erhalten.
