Question:

Consider gravity loading only under complete lateral restraint in flat strata with properties given in Table 1.2. Vertical stress at the top of the geologic column given in Table 1.2 is 1,000 psi. Compression is positive, γ is specific weight, h is thickness, E is Young’s modulus, and G is shear modulus. Find the horizontal stress at the bottom of the sandstone and the top of the limestone
