Example 2: Stress on soil under a circular loaded area
Description of the problem
To verify the vertical stress at point
c
below the center of a circular loaded area, the
influence coefficients of stress
Iz
below the center of a uniformly loaded
area at the surface obtained by
Scott (1974) (Table
12.2, page 287) are compared with those obtained by
ELPLA.
Figure 2 shows a distributed load of
q
= 1000 [kN/m2] acts on a flexible circular area of
radius
r = 5 [m]. It is
required to determine the vertical stress under the center
c
of the area at different depths z
up to 10 [m] below the ground surface.
