A long strip footing foundation will be used to support a concrete masonry- bearing wall for a business building. The footing will be 2m wide and 45 m long. The wall loading imposed onto the foundation will be 200 kN per meter of wall length.
i) Using both the 2:1 approximate and Boussinesq methods, determine the vertical stress increase (∆σ) at 3m below the footing center.
ii) Compare and discuss the ∆σ values calculated from the two methods.

EMERGENCY - Geotech plz help A 2 m wide surface supported strip footing will be used to support a masonry bearing wall for a commercial building. The wall loading imposed onto the foundation will be 300 kN per meter of wall length. The soil under the foundation has a saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m”. If the water table is at the surface. what is the effective vertical stress at 2 m below the centre of the foundation when the...
QUESTION!! ANSWER!! Please show all steps so I can understand the methods used to solve it. Thank you! 2. A "very long" strip footing with the width of 4m is placed on the ground surface with a pressure equal to 100 kPa. Calculate the stress distribution at depths of 3 and 6 m below the center of the footing. Use Boussinesq, Westergaard, and 2:1 method for the evaluation. Vertical stress, σ' (kPa) 3m below 6m belovw Boussinesq Westergaard 2:1 method
"Annexure B" ASSIGNMENT 2 DESIGN BRIEF Due to increasing pedestrian traffic of students travelling from halls of residence to the engineering block at one of its devised a plan, which includes a new means of crossing a busy road safely and without causing traffic delay. A solution to protect student safety for crossing the busy road is to design and build a pedestrian bridge. This will eliminate traffic congestion and delays as well as eliminate conflict between pedestrians and motorists....
