    This document is about stresses due to applied loads on shallow foundations. It discusses Boussinesq's solution, Westergaard's solution, and load spread models for calculating stresses. Specifically, it examines stresses from point loads, uniformly loaded circular areas, and uniformly loaded rectangular areas - looking at stresses at the corner and center of rectangular foundations. Charts and values from studies are presented for analyzing stress variations.
