Refer to the cross-section profile through a soil stratum with a line load (Q) acting on the surface. Points A & B are at the same depth, similarly points C & D are at the same depth. Horizontal & vertical distances are plotted on the same scale. Using the knowledge of variation of incremental vertical stress induced by the line load on the surface, compare the values of incremental vertical stresses at points A, (AOA) & C, (Aσc). B AσA> Aσc AσA <Aσc AσA-Aσc Q[kN/m] Ground Level There is no enough information to evaluate this condition.
