A1-m-wide surface-supported strip footing carries a loading of 100 kN per meter of wall length. Determine the total vertical stress acting at a depth of 1 m below the center of the foundation width (note that the total stress will be the sum of the original vertical stress due to the soil mass plus the increase due to the foundation loading). Assume the Boussinesq conditions apply. Use a soil unit weight equal to 18 kN/m3.
