Problem 3: (30 Points)
Building shown in figure below weights Q=30000kN and is supported by mat foundation. Base dimensions of the building is 20m10m
Determine the total and effective stress values at A,B,C and D levels before the construction of the building
After the construction, determine the increase in vertical stress below the center of the foundation for A,B,C and D levels by using the following methods:
Simplified assumption (1/2 stress distribution)
Assumption of rectangularly loaded area
What will be the vertical stress increase 5 m below the ground surface at the corner of the foundation if the foundation is located 2 m below the ground surface.
