The contact problem for a flexible plate as an inclusion in an elastic half-space is solved by the method of orthogonal polynomials. The singularity of the contact stresses at the plate edge is separated exactly. The problem of the rotation of the plate is solved as well. The results can be used to design deep anchor slabs plates and inserts for ferroconcrete structures.
