Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.

Calculate and plot the stress distribution with depth at a point 6.0 m from the corner (along the longest side) of a rectangularly loaded area 18 × 24 m with a uniform pressure of 175 kPa. Perform the calculation using the Boussinesq theoryand the 2:1 method. Comment on the results.When plotting stress distribution with depth, make sure the vertical axis (i.e. depth) increases downwards. Use z=0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 35, 50, and 100 m.
