stresses in concrete pavements computed by theoretical analysis. from assumptions of the conditions of loading, support, etc., of concrete road slabs, which conform closely to the actual conditions, a method by which the stresses in round slabs may be computed has been developed by mathematical analysis.

Granted, Westergaard chose to express the rectangular coordinates as complex numbers, \(z The one caveat to note is that Westergaard's solution applies to an infinite plate in equibiaxial, not uniaxial...Flexural behaviour.
