An embankment is given (H = 5 m and y = 20 kN/m). Determine the vertical stress increase at points A, which is 5 m below the ground surface. Assume the embankment is constructed on the ground surface. Given parameters are: a = 5 m, b = 10 m, c = 12 m, z = 5 m and q = H. a b C a q A Section Not to Scale An embankment is given (H = 5 m and y = 20 kN/m).
