Example 2.1: A tire with 689 kPa air pressure distributes a load over an area with a circular contact radius, a, of 127mm. The pavement was constructed with a material that has a modules of elasticity of 345000 kPa and a Poisson ratio of 0.45. Calculate the radial-horizontal stress and deflection at a point the pavement surface under the centre of the ire load. Also, calculate the radial- horizontal stress and deflection at a point at a depth of 508mm and radial distance of 254mm from the centre of the tire load. (USE: Ahlvin and Ulery equations).
