For the excavation of Problem 10.10, estimate the stress change at a depth of 50 m below

Question:

For the excavation of Problem 10.10, estimate the stress change at a depth of 50 m below the bottom of the excavation at point O'.
qo = -200 kPa, z = 50 m
Determine the stress decrease using Fig. 10.4 (or Eq. 10.6) for the vertical stress under the corner of a uniformly loaded rectangular area. Use superposition by adding I values for the 4 rectangular areas as tabulated below.
(Dimensions in metres) в 40 Uniform load, 250 kPa 20 10 20- -40- 60-
