Theories for Determining Vertical Stress in Soil Mass
The following points highlight the main theories and methods used for determining vertical stress in soil mass. Also learn about the comparison of different methods for determination of vertical stress in soil mass. 1. Boussinesq Theory for Vertical Stress due to Concentrated Load: Boussinesq in 1885 gave a solution for stress distribution in a homogeneous and isotropic subgrade subjected to [...]
