A concentrated load of 460 tons is applied to the
ground surface. You are a little, helpless ant located 13
feet below grade and 9 feet off center of this concentrated
load. The soil has a unit weight of 128 lb/ft3 and the water
table is located at a depth of 6 feet below grade (thank goodness
you have your scuba gear!).
What is the overburden pressure (po) at your location (in
lb/ft2)?
What is the total stress being felt at your location (in
lb/ft2)?
