Q2 (a) Referring to Figure Q2 (a), the vertical stress increase at point A is 25 kN/m² due to application of line loads 91 and 92. Determine the magnitude of 92. (10 marks) (b) Figure Q2 (b) shows the ring foundation to support a silo. Given R1 = 3 m while R2 = 6 m. The total vertical load is 7500 KN. (1) Calculate and plot the vertical stress increase with depth up to 7 m (use 1 m interval) under the centre of the ring (point O). (12 marks) (ii) Determine the maximum vertical stress increase and its location. (3 marks)
