PROBLEM 7
Solution
Step 1
Resolve the load q2 into vertical and horizontal components
Vertical stress increase at point A is δσz = ∆σz(1) ∆σz(2) ∆σz(3)
For q2 .

2(q2 sin 45)z 3

∆σz(1) = 2 (1)
π (x1 + x2 )2 + z 2


2(q2 sin 45)(2m)3

=  2
π (2m + 3m)2 + (2m)2
11.31q2
= kN/m2
2642.08
∆σz(1) = 0.00428q2 kN/m2 (2)
