A water tank is required to be constructed with a circular foundation having a diameter of 20m
founded at a depth of 2m below the ground surface. The estimated distributed load on the
foundation is 300 kN/m. Assuming that the subsoil extends to a great depth and is isotropic and
homogeneous, determine the stresses z at points (i) z = 6m, r = 0, (i) z = 6m, r= 10m, (i) z =
20m, r = 0 and (iv) z = 20m, r = 10m, where r is the radial distance from the central axis. Use the
Influence Diagram below to calculate the I. Neglect the effect of the depth of the foundation on
the stresses.
