Chapter 6, Problem 6.7P

Use Eq. (6.14) to determine the stress increase (Δσ) at z = 10 ft below the center of the area described in Problem 6.5.

6.5 Refer to Figure 6.6, which shows a flexible rectangular area. Given: B1 = 4 ft, B2 = 6 ft, L1, = 8 ft, and L2 = 10 ft. If the area is subjected to a uniform load of 3000 lb/ft2, determine the stress increase at a depth of 10 ft located immediately below point O.
