A 5m wide and 10m long rectangular foundation is built on a site where the soil profile consists of 3m of gravel and 4m of clay overlying rigid impermeable rock as shown in Fiqure 8. The foundation carries a surcharge loading of q-65 kN/m2 Initially the water table is 1 m below the surface of the gravel. The water table rises to the surface of the gravel slowly over a period of time and the surface loading induces an increase...

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.
The figure below shows a flexible rectangular raft foundation
that is proposed for one of the industrial buildings at the site.
The foundation is 10 feet X 20 feet and applies an uniform pressure
of 3000 psf to the underlying soil.
a. Using the influence factor method to calculate the stress
below a rectangular area, find the vertical stress increase
