Introduction In a given volume of soil, the solid particles are distributed randomly with void spaces in between. The spaces are occupied by water, air, or both.
To analyze the compressibility, bearing capacity, and other geotechnical problems, engineers need to know the nature of distribution of stress along the soil profile.

Solution H = 17.5 kN/m3 x 7 m = 122.5 kN/m2 At A1 B1 = 2.5 m and B2 = 14 m ; B1/z = 2.5 / 5 = 0.5 B2/z = 14 / 5 = 2.8
From the curve, we obtain I2 = 0.445 Due to symmetrical form, the I2 is equal at the left side and the right side. z = z(1) + z(2) = q0 [I2 left + I2 right] = 122.5 [0.445 + 0.445] = 109.03 kN/m2

Solution Stress increase at A2 :
For the right side;
B2 = 5 m and B1 = 0
B2/z = 9/5 = 1.8 ; B1/z = 0/5 = 0 → I2 = 0.335
B2/z = 5/5 = 1
z = 78.75 (0.335) = 26.38 kN/m2
B1/z = 0/5 = 0 From the curve, we obtain I2 = 0.25
Total Stress Increase at Point A2 is:
z = 43.75 (0.25) = 10.94 kN/m2
z = z(1) + z(2)-z(3)
For the middle section;
z = 10.94 + 60.64 – 26.38
B2/z = 14/5 = 2.8 ; B1/z = 14/5 = 2.8 → I2 = 0.495
z = 45.2 kN/m2
z = 122.5 (0.495) = 60.64 kN/m2 STRESS AT SOIL MASS (SOIL MECHANICS)

Influence Chart for Vertical Pressure The procedure for obtaining vertical pressure at any point below a loaded area is follows: 1. determine the depth (z) below the uniformly loaded area at which the stress increase is required. 2. plot the plan of the loaded area with a scale of z equal to the unit length of the chart. 3. place the plan (plotted at 2) on the influence chart in such way that the point below which the stress is to be determined is located at the center of the chart. 4. count the number of elements (M) of the chart enclosed by the plan of the loaded area.
