The figure above is the plan of a rectangular raft foundation carrying a uniformly distributed load. The raft is symmetrical about lines CD and CB. When computing the incremental vertical stress at 2 m below point C, what values of "L" and "b" should be used in the following expression: Ao₂ = 24 [tan−¹ (1₂) + 5² (+)]. NOTE the expression should give the final stress value at point C, therefore evaluating the validity of the expression Lbz 1 R3 R is part of the question. T 1m 1.5 m

Question

Transcribed Image Text:The figure above is the plan of a rectangular raft foundation carrying a uniformly distributed load. The raft is symmetrical about lines CD and CB. When computing
the incremental vertical stress at 2 m below point C, what values of "L" and "b" should be used in the following expression:
Δσ. =
is part of the question.
= 24 [tan-¹ (1) + ( + ) . NOTE the expression should give the final stress value at point C, therefore evaluating the validity of the expression
OL-2 m; b= 1.5 m.
OL-1 m; b = 3 m
O L=1.5 m; b=1m
OL-3 m; b= 2m
1 m
A
1.5 m
O None of these or the expression is incorrect
