PROBLEM 2.

48

THE FOOTING SHOWN IN FIG. P2.4 EXERTS A UNIFORM LOAD

TO THE SOIL OF 300 kN/m². DETERMINE THE PRESSURE AT A POINT
4m DIRECTLY UNDER POINT (a) A AND (b) B.

SOLUTION:
2m 2m
AT POINT A:

σZ = q x IV x N 2m
B
q = 300 kPa
2m
IV = 0.005
A
N = 18.75 x 3
N = 56.25
σZ = 300 X 0.005 X 56.25
σZ = 84.38 kPa
