    This document discusses stresses due to applied loads on shallow foundations. It covers Boussinesq's solution for point loads, which provides a formula to calculate the vertical stress at depth z below a point load Q using cylindrical coordinates. It also mentions Westergaard's solution and load spread models for calculating stresses from applied loads on foundations.
