Vertical Stress from Rectangular Load

The document discusses different methods for calculating vertical stresses in soil masses due to various loading conditions. It describes the stresses caused by point loads, line loads, strip loads, embankment loads, and circular and rectangular loaded areas. Graphical methods like influence charts and Newmark's chart are presented for determining stresses at points of interest below loaded areas. Equations are provided for calculating stresses below the center and at any point below uniformly loaded circular areas.

Newmark’ Chart

• Determine the depth, z, where you


wish to calculate the stress
increase
• Adopt a scale as shown in the
figure
• Draw the footing to scale and place
the point of interest over the
center of the chart
• Count the number of elements
that fall inside the footing, N
• Calculate the stress increase as:
