Abstract: Based on the results of Hu and Lekhnitskii, the united solution of additional vertical stress coefficient for both transversely isotropic and isotropic half-space was obtained. Five typical load cases, namely, vertical circular uniform load, rectangular uniform load, linearly distributed rectangular load, uniform linear and strip loads are studied in detail. The final solutions are expressed in terms of elementary functions. Numerical results show that there are anisotropic effects on the variation of additional vertical stress coefficients.
