Transcribed Image Text:### Building Foundation Footprint Analysis
The footprint for a building foundation is shown in the figure to the right. Applied vertical footing pressure \(p_1\) is 500 kPa and \(p_2\) is 800 kPa. Estimate the increment of vertical stress \( \Delta \sigma_v \) at a depth of 10 m below point 'A' under the proposed foundation plan shown using linear elasticity theory for a semi-infinite half space.
#### Diagram Explanation:
The provided diagram illustrates a building foundation comprised of two adjoining rectangular sections:
- The first section, labeled \(p_1\), has dimensions of 15 meters in width and 10 meters in height.
- The second section, labeled \(p_2\), is positioned below the first section and has dimensions of 25 meters in width and 10 meters in height.
Point 'A' is located at the bottom-right corner of the combined foundation, while point 'B' is situated where the two sections meet.
Key dimensions include:
- The width of the top section: 15 meters
- The combined height of both sections: 20 meters
- The width of the bottom section: 25 meters
#### Given Data:
- \( p_1 \) = 500 kPa (pressure applied on the top section)
- \( p_2 \) = 800 kPa (pressure applied on the bottom section)
- Depth at which vertical stress increment is to be calculated: 10 meters below point 'A'
#### Instruction:
Make sure to show your work!
This analysis requires the use of linear elasticity theory for a semi-infinite half space to estimate the vertical stress increment at the specified depth.
