At a location where the ground surface is horizontal, the vertical stress at one point in the underlying soil deposit is 190 kPa and the horizontal stress is 76 kPa. If these stresses represent principal stresses, what is the maximum shear stress passing through the point? What is the value of the normal stress on the plane of maximum shear?

8) Answer the ff: a) If the magnitude of the two loads is combined as one, what is the horizontal distance of the said load given that point A is at the same depth and that it experiences the same vertical stress increase given by the set-up? b) The stress contributed by q1 is: c) The total increase in vertical stress is: d) The stress contributed by q2 is: e) What is the equivalent horizontal load if it is located 3 meters away from point A given that the said point experiences the same vertical stress increase given by the set-up? Note: Point A is at the same depth

Two foundations are located next to each other as follows. Determine the stress increase on a horizontal plane (i.e. - the increase in vertical stress) beneath Point A at a depth of 3 m below the ground surface. The foundations are bearing on the ground surface. 3 m- +2.5 m -6 m 5 m A O= 90 kPa = 120 kPa 6 m
