We investigate the T(3)-gauge theory of static dislocations in continuous solids. We use the most general linear constitutive relations in terms of the elastic distortion tensor and dislocation density tensor for the force and pseudomoment stresses of an isotropic solid. The constitutive relations contain six material parameters. In this theory, both the force and pseudomoment stresses are asymmetric. The theory possesses four characteristic lengths l(1), l(2), l(3) and l(4), which are given explicitly. We first derive the three-dimensional Green tensor of the master equation for the force stresses in the translational gauge theory of dislocations. We then investigate the situation of generalized plane strain (anti-plane strain and plane strain). Using the stress function method, we find modified stress functions for screw and edge dislocations. The solution of the screw dislocation is given in terms of one independent length l(1) = l(4). For the problem of an edge dislocation, only two characteristic lengths l(2) and l(3) arise with one of them being the same l(2) = l(1) as for the screw dislocation. Thus, this theory possesses only two independent lengths for generalized plane strain. If the two lengths l(2) and l(3) of an edge dislocation are equal, we obtain an edge dislocation, which is the gauge theoretical version of a modified Volterra edge dislocation. In the case of symmetric stresses, we recover well-known results obtained earlier.
