02 - Stresses in Flexible Pavements

This document discusses various methods for analyzing stresses and deflections in flexible pavements due to applied loads. It presents equations for calculating stresses and strains in a flexible pavement due to point loads, circular loads, and multiple wheel loads. It also introduces the layer theory approaches developed by Burmister and Odemark for analyzing layered pavement systems subjected to surface loads. Examples are provided to illustrate the application of Burmister's and Odemark's methods.
