    The vertical stress in the ground increases with depth below the surface due to overlying material. Stress beneath a circular footing increases with depth and distance from the center, reaching a maximum at the edge. An example calculates the vertical stress 12 inches below a 4-foot diameter circular footing under a 300 psf uniform load, finding it to be 525 psf at the center and edge. Simplified methods can estimate vertical stress with depth for common footing configurations.
