    Lecture - Vertical Stress PDF

    Uploaded by

    Ankit Srivastava
    This document discusses methods for calculating vertical stress from concentrated and distributed loads on the ground. It introduces Boussinesq analysis and presents the general solution for vertical stress from a concentrated load. Graphs show influence factors for stress from concentrated loads and uniformly distributed circular loads. Approximate methods are provided for calculating stress increases beneath square, circular and strip footings using influence values. Newmark's, Westergaard's and Frohlich's influence charts are presented as a method to calculate stress at a given depth and distance from a footing. Recommendations are given for which charts to use depending on soil type.

    Point of
    stress
    calculation

    Depth = z2

    Determine the depth, z, where


    you wish to calculate the stress
    increase
    Adopt a scale as shown in the
    g
    figure
    Draw the footing to scale and
    place the point of interest over
    the center of the chart
    Count the number of elements
    that fall inside the footing, N
    Calculate the stress increase as:

    D th = z1
