Three point loads comprising a left load of 2,484 kN at a distance of 2.5 m from the centre load, a centre load of 4,558 kN, and a right load of 6,906 kN at a distance of 4.1 m from the centre load acts on the surface along a straight line. Calculate the vertical stress (kN/m2) at a depth of 3.0 m vertically below the left load.

A load of 1863 kN is carried on a 1.5 by 2 m rectangular foundation at a shallow depth in a soil mass. Determine the vertical stress at the centre of the footing 4 m below the footing underside assuming: (a) the load is uniformly distributed over the pad and, (b) the load acts as a point load at the centre of the foundation.
1) Show the top left corner of the heel and the distance
to the line load.
2) Calculate the additional vertical stress (kpa) at the
top left corner of the heel due to the line load. Use the
following equation z - depth and x, perpendicular distance to line
load.
A line load of 262kN/m acts at a distance d= 4.6 m from the front face of the retaining wall having the following dimensions in metres (height=2.0, a=0.48,5=2.3,x=0.5.y=0.4, and z=0.7....
A line load of 144.5 kN/m acts 1.1 m from the heel of a 2.5 m
high retaining wall. Calculate additional vertical thrust (kN/m of
wall) on the step of heel due to the line load.
