Question: There is a tunnel 1 2 m below ground surface. A water tank and a rectangular foundation for a building is planned to be constructed

There is a tunnel 12 m below ground surface. A water tank and a rectangular foundation for a building is planned to
be constructed on the ground surface at the location as shown in Figure 2(Plan view). The 18 m diameter water tank
will impose 70 kPa stress (Including tank self-weightplus water pressure) and the rectangular foundation will distribute
30 kPa stress on the ground surface. What will be the stress increase due to these two constructions at point C , at
the tunnellevel that is 12 m below ground surface?
Use graphical methods to find stress increase
