It has been determined that the stress increase occurring at a depth of 6 m below the center of the foundation with a diameter of 6 m is equal to the increase in stress at 6 m depth under the center of the square foundation of 6 m X 6 m. Since the load carried by the circular foundation is 1000kN, how much load does the square foundation carry?
