  1. CHAPTER 3 Stress of soil

  2. §3 Stress of soil §3.1 General §3.2 Self-weight stress §3.3 Stress at the bottom of foundation §3.4 Additional stress in foundation

  3. §3 Stress of soil §3.1 General • Weight of soil (effective stress) • Surface loads • Fill large area • Point loads: • Hydro pole, light stand, column, etc • Lines loads • Rack or rail loading, strip foundation • Rectangular area • Raft or rectangular footing • Circular area • Tank • Earth embankment • Road, railway, fill, ice, etc.

  4. σcz natural ground σcz= z z z 1 1 §3 Stress of soil §3.2 Self-weight stress • Due to soil’s self weight

  6. natural ground z  lateral earth pressure coefficient at rest • Assumption: • no shear stresses on the vertical planes bounding the column in horizontal direction.

  7. Example 1: • How to calculate the stress in soils? Natural ground Clay Ground water level sand Top roof of the aquitard

  8. 57.0kPa 80.1kPa 103.1kPa 150.1kPa 194.1kPa • Solution: Natural ground Clay Ground water level sand Top roof of the aquitard
