Chapter 6, Problem 6.12P
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.
