DISTRIBUTION OF WHEEL LOADS
DISTRIBUTION OF WHEEL LOADS
(OP)
Can anyone please suggest me a good reference or a book to find out factors for distributing wheel loads/point loads through earth fills??
I am designing a large underground sediment tank, which is covered by 3' soil at top (ground level). I need to know what loads will de distributed to the top of the tank (roof)if a moving load is considered. How the wheel load will be transfered through the 3' earth/soil.
Please help!

It's also out in paperback form now, but you will have to contact the University of Sydney to get one of those:

I have no idea what the paperback versions cost, but they're worth more than a used hardback version for one simple reason: a significant number of corrections to errors contained in the hardback version have been incorporated into the work.
Good luck!
