Compute the data and draw a curve of σ/Q versus depth for points directly below a point load O. On the same plot draw curves of σ/Q versus depth for points directly below the center of square footings with breadths of 6.5 nr and 20 m, respectively, each carrying a uniformly distributed load Q. On the basis of this plot, make a statement relative to the range within which loaded areas may be considered to act as point loads. (After Taylor. 1948.)
