In this work a study about the boundary element method applied to axyssimetric elastostatic problems is developed. Some approaches used to evaluate the integrals involved in the method are reviewed. Triangular isoparametric boundary elements are used, with linear or quadratic shape functions. The Kelvin solution, which uses a unitary concentrated load in an infinite elastic domain to generate the fundamental solution, is taken into account. In addition to the classical BEM algorithm, in order to avoid any singularities, an algorithm using the collocation points outside the problem domain is presented. The three-dimensional problem expressed in cartesian coordinates is transformed into cylindrical coordinates. Next, the mathematical expressions are integrated in the θ variable, transforming the problem in a two-dimensional solution. In this mathematical strategy the elliptic integrals and their derivatives are manipulated to obtain the fundamental stresses. Here the positions of source points are external to the physical domain, avoiding singularities. A program has been developed using these approaches, its efficiency was evaluated by means of some numerical examples
