How to Determine Vertical Stress on Soil Mass? (Newmark’s Chart) | Soil Engineering
Newmark gave a construction to determine the vertical stress at any point below a footing of any shape. Newmark's influence chart is based on the concept of the Boussinesq theory for vertical stress below the center of a uniformly loaded circular area. Construction of Newmark's Influence Chart: When a uniformly loaded circular area of radius r1 is divided into 20 [...]
