R2

SITUATION: In accordance with Boussinesq theory, the vertical stress at a point below the center of flexible circular area in a semi-infinite homogeneous isotropic soil mass due to uniform load is given by the expression: P = q(1 --) Where N= (1+(R/z)?)3/2 R= radius of circular area z = depth of interest at which stress is induced q = intensity of pressure on the circular area (load per unit area at the base of the footing) %3D How deep, in meters, below the footing would the pressure be reduced by 1/10 of the pressure at the base of the footing. 1.05 2.25 O 1.82 1.73
