The architect has decided that the English arts Building should be surrounded by a moat to give the appearance of an exotic castle for engineers only. The steam tunnel located 20 ft below the site remains a major concern with this exotic design. The EAB castle is 4-stories tall, 100' wide and 100' long. Each floor weighs 100 lb/ft^2. The moat has a diameter of 120 ft centered about the building and the water is 10 ft deep in the moat. What is the increase in vertical stress on the tunnel below the center of the building after the building and moat are constructed?Pls make it clear and concise
