Figure 42: Plate in cooking pot after compression. No sideways heave visible<br />

Feeding the slope and the intercept of these virgin compression lines into the O’Sullivan<br />

model gave a close agreement to the measured data as shown in Figure 44. Figure 44 shows<br />

as well the predictions if the contact pressures were taken for mean normal pressures. Similar<br />

to the real tyre data then soil displacement is significantly underestimated.<br />
