    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Nabil
    This document contains a 10-question assignment on calculating vertical stresses at various points beneath foundations and loads distributed on the ground surface. The questions involve computing stresses due to concentrated point loads, uniformly distributed surface loads, and loads from buildings and footings using different methods like Newmark's chart and elastic theory. Diagrams showing the foundation layouts and load configurations accompany each question. The assignment was prepared by Dr. Mahmoud Mahdy of the Civil Engineering Department at Delta Higher Institute for Engineering & Technology.

    Assignment (2)

    1) What is the vertical stress at point A of figure below for the two loads, P1 and P2?

    2) A four concentrated forces are located at corners of a rectangular area with


    dimensions 8 m by 6 m as shown in figure in the next slide. Compute the
    vertical stress at points A and B, which are located on the lines A – A’, B – B’
    at depth of 4 m below the ground surface.

    3- Calculate the vertical stresses at points A and B of the shown foundation
    due to the shown truck loads.

    4- Figure (1) shows a plan of a foundation known that q= 15 t/m2, Determine:


    a. Stress under point A at depth = 4 m.
    b. Stress under point B at depth = 10 m.
    c. Stress under point C at depth = 6 m.
    d. Stress under point D at depth = 3 m.
    e. If the whole foundation transmits a "q" pressure. Use Graphs, Newmark's
    chart and the approximate (2:1) method to re-calculate (c) and compare your
    results.

    6- The figure shows a new building which exerts a stress of 2 kg/cm at foundation
    level. Calculate the increase of stress due to the new construction at the centre line of the
    shown clay layer under points A, B, C and D. Assume that the soil is a semi-infinite
    homogenous isotropic elastic media.

    7- Two buildings are to be constructed as shown in figure. The stresses at foundation
    level are given. Find the increase of stress at the center line of the shown clay layer
    below points A, B, C and D due to the construction of both buildings. Assume that
    the foundations are flexible, and that the soil isa semi-infinite elastic media.

    8- The figure shows a building exerting a stress of 1.2 kg/cm at the foundation of its
    2
    higher part, and a stress of 0.7 kg/cm at the foundation of its lower part. Find
    the stress increase at the center line of the shown clay layer below points A, B, C
    and D, due to the building loads.

    9- Calculate the stresses below points A, B, C, D and E at the centre
    line of the clay layer due the shown construction.

    10- A column load of 2000 kN is supported a (3 m x 4 m) footing whose


    bottom is 1m below the surface. Assuming that the footing distributes uniform
    pressure. Determine the vertical stress at depth 4 m at a point:
    a. Under center of the footing.
    b. Under one of the corne
