Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.

Civil Engineering A multistory building with a basement is to be constructed. The top 4 m consists of loose silt, below which dense sand layer is present up to a great depth. Ground water table is at the surface. The foundation consist of the basement slab of 6m width which will rest on the top of dense sand as shown in the figure. For dense sand, saturated unit weight = 20 kN/m³, and bearing capacity factors Na 40 and Ng = 45. For loose silt, saturated unit weight = 18 kN/m³, Ng = 15 and Ng = 20. Effective cohesion c ¢ is zero for both soils. Unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³. Neglect shape factor and depth factor.
