Question 1
Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
Question 2
A 2 m × 4 m rectangular footing has to carry a uniformly distributed load of 120 kPa. As per the 2:1 dispersion method of stress distribution, the increment in vertical stress (in kPa) at a depth of 2 m below the footing is __________.
Question 3
A circular tank of base diameter 12m is subjected to a total load of 12,000 kN. Calculate the vertical stress (in kN/m2) at a point P which is at a depth of 3m and 2m away from the centre of the loaded area.
Question 4
A rectangular foundation of size 4m x 3m exerts a pressure of 25 kN/m2. The vertical stress at a point X located below 3m as shown in the figure is
Question 5
A water tank is supported by a ring foundation having outer diameter of 8 m and thickness of 1 m. The uniform load intensity on the foundation is 200 kN/m2. The vertical stress (in kN/m2) caused by the water tank at a depth of 4 m below the centre of the foundation is
Question 6
Consider a square-shaped area ABCD on the ground with its Centre at M as shown in the figure. Four concentrated vertical load of P=5000 kN are applied on this area, at each corner.
The vertical stress increment (in kPa, up to one decimal place) due to these loads according to the Boussinesq's equation, at a point 5 m right below M, is_____
