(b) Figure Q2 (b) shows the ring foundation to support a silo. Given R = 3 m while R2 = 6 m. The total vertical load is 7500 KN. (i) Calculate and plot the vertical stress increase with depth up to 7 m (use I m interval) under the centre of the ring (point O). (12 marks) Determine the maximum vertical stress increase and its location. (3 marks) R2 R 0 FIGURE Q2 (b)
