The contact pressure for a rigid footing resting on clay at the center and the edges are respectively
Question 3
In case of governing equations for calculating wheel load stresses using Westergaard’s approach, the following statements are made.

Question 4
Standard Newmark's influence chart is shown in the given figure. If loaded equally, the area marked 1, 2 and 3 will yield pressure at the centre such that
Question 5
A fotting 2 m × 1 m exerts a uniform pressure of 150 kN/m2 on the soil. Assuming a load dispersion of 2 vertical to 1 horizontal, the average vertical stress (kN/m2) at 1.0 m below the fotting is
Question 6
A 25 kN point load acts on the surface of an infinite elastic medium. The vertical pressure intensity in kN/m2 at a point 6.0 m below and 4.0 m away from the load will be
