Determine the uniformly distributed load, Civil Engineering

Assignment Help:

A rectangular area 4 m × 6 m carries a uniformly distributed load of 100 kN/m2 at the ground surface. Estimate the vertical pressure at a depth of 6 m vertically below the centre and also below a corner of the loaded area. Compare the results with those getting by an equivalent point load method and also by separating the loaded area into four equal parts and treating the load from every as a point load.
