R RI o FIGURE Q2 (b)
(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)
