where, Thus,
the same value of r on any side of the z-axis, or line of action of the point load, the value of is
the same; hence the isobar is symmetrical with respect to this axis. So, the other half can be drawn
from symmetry. When r= 0, KB= 0.4775; the isobar crosses the line of action of the load at a depth of:
The calculations are best performed in the form of a table as given below:
