Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 1
Abstract
Exact formulas for the calculation of vertical stresses in soil are presented without the use of charts and tables. Formulas are derived using the basic Boussinesq's equation for a point load to calculate the vertical stresses due to a triangular loading on a rectangular area.
