The following picture depicts a soil profile that has two sources of above-ground loading: (1) a point load of 650 kN and (2) a rectangular footing that support a loading of 900 kN. Calculate the following: Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point A. Assume free field condition (i.e., no effect from the above-ground point load and rectangular footing). Horizontal total stress (σh ) at point A. Assume free field condition. Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point B. Assume free field condition.

-
Horizontal total stress (σh ) at point A. Assume free field condition.
-
Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point B. Assume free field condition.
-
Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point C. Consider the effect from the point load only.
-
Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point D. Consider the effect from the rectangular footing only. Use the DM 7.01 method. Approximate method is not allowed.
-
Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point E. Consider the effect from the rectangular footing only. Use the DM 7.01 method. Approximate method is not allowed.
-
Vertical effective stress (σ’v ) at point E. Consider the effects from the rectangular footing AND point load
