  1. Stress Distributionand all of its mysteries

  2. I. The Bulb of Pressure Force

  3. I. The Bulb of Pressure Force “what are the stresses at this point?”

  4. (boo-sinn-esk) II. The Boussinesq EquationA. Goal: to determine the vertical and horizontal stresses under a point load in a homogeneous, isotropic medium. “Allows us to determine vertical and horizontal stresses at any point in space”

  5. II. The Boussinesq EquationB. The Equation:

  6. II. The Boussinesq EquationB. The Equation: Where v = Poisson’s Ratio (0.48)

  7. 6.71

  8. If Poisson’s ratio is ~0.5, equations simplify to: σx = 3Px2z 2π R5 σy = 3Py2z 2π R5

  9. Your turn: Vertical load of 2500 lb/ft2 Determine horizontal and vertical stresses at X= 5, Y= 2, Z = 6

  10. Borrow & Fill Computations

  11. Cut and Fill Slopes FHWA, 2004 FHWA, 2004

  12. Proper OM & MD at time of compaction???
