Theory of elasticity is the most used assumption in pavement design. Highway materials are neither elastic nor homogenous. Therefore there is a need for models which are based on more realistic assumptions. UGM shows time dependency in nature. This is reflected in a viscous response close to the surface and an elastic response deeper down the construction. Time dependencies of soils are relatively

The study of residences at central places from the Late Iron Age in Scandinavia has mainly been aimed at identifying buildings of exceptional size or function. However, until recently the archaeological situation has not been detailed enough to study the sequence of a residence for several centuries and with internal changes related to internal or external factors.
