The intensity of passive earth pressure at a depth of 8 m in a cohesionless soil with an angle of internal friction of 30° when water rises to ground level is kN/m² Take saturated unit weight of sand as 21 kN/ m³ and y = 9.81 kN/m³

Refer to Problem 6.1. Using Eqs. (6.3) and (6.29), estimate the average stress increase (Δσav) below the center of the loaded area between depths of 3 m and 6 m. 6.1 A flexible circular area is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 150kN/m2 (Figure 6.2). The diameter of the load area is 2 m. Determine the stress increase in a soil mass at points located 3 m below the loaded area at r = 0. 0.4 m, 0.8 m, and 1 m. Use Boussinesq’s solution.

Redo Problem 6.12 using Figure 6.15. 6.12 Refer to Problem 6.1. Using Eqs. (6.3) and (6.29), estimate the average stress increase (av) below the center of the loaded area between depths of 3 m and 6 m. 6.1 A flexible circular area is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 150 kN/m2 (Figure 6.2). The diameter of the load area is 2 m. Determine the stress increase in a soil mass at points located 3 m below the loaded area at r = 0, 0.4 m, 0.8 m, and 1 m. Use Boussinesqs solution.

For the same line loads given in Problem 10.8, determine the vertical stress increase, z, at a point located 4 m below the line load, q2. Refer to Figure 10.41. Determine the vertical stress increase, z, at point A with the following values: q1 = 110 kN/m, q2 = 440 kN/m, x1 = 6 m, x2 = 3 m, and z = 4 m. Figure 10.41
