A 100 kN column load is applied on the ground surface. Compute and plot the distributions of the vertical stress increment under the center of the footing with the depth to z = 10 m in the following cases. (a) 100 kN is applied as a point load. (b) 100 kN is applied on a 2.0 m x 2.0 m square footing (use 2:1 slope method). %3D (c) 100 kN is applied on a 2.257 m diameter circular footing. Note that the stress intensity at the footing level for (b) and (c) is the same.
