A transversal section of a long wall of uniform width is shown in the figure below. The wall is subjected to a linearly distributed surface load of maximum intensity qmax = 8,5 kN/m² . Find the maximum compressive stresses if the foundation is able to resist tension as well. Draw the distribution of stresses in the bottom surface in a suitable view.
