Example 1
Estimate the vertical stress beneath a point load of 500 kN at a
depth of 2 m
Example 2
Estimate the vertical stress due to a point load of 500 kN at a
point at a depth of 2 m from the ground level and located at
1.74 m and 1.0 m in longitudinal and transverse directions from
the point load
Example 3
Estimate the vertical stress due to a point load of 1000 kN at a
point at a depth of 5 m from the ground level and located at 2.0
m and 1.74 m in longitudinal and transverse directions from the
point load
