The three exceptions to the Boussinesq equation occur:

(1) When a soft layer underlies a stiff layer leading to a

Wider spread of lateral pressure,

Pressure to the soil, and (how?)

(3) For those occasional soils with high vertical shear

Modulus, which tend to have a narrower spread of

Lateral load
