CONTENT • TOTAL STRESS • EFFECTIVE STRESS • STRESS DISTRIBUTION
TOTAL NORMAL STRESS • Generated by the mass in the soil body, calculated by sum up the unit weight of all the material (soil solids + water) multiflied by soil thickness or depth. • Denoted as , v, Po • The unit weight of soil is in natural condition and the water influence is ignored. z = The depth of point

EFFECTIVE STRESS • Defined as soil stress which influenced by water pressure in soil body. • Published first time by Terzaghi at 1923 base on the experimental result • Applied to saturated soil and has a relationship with two type of stress i.e.: • Total Normal Stress () • Pore Water Pressure (u) • Effective stress formula

EXAMPLE Question 1 z total = 23.8 – 20.9 – 20.6 + 18 = 0.3 kPa
EXAMPLE Question 2 z total = 47.6 – 41.9 – 43.8 + 38.6 = 0.5 kPa
NEWMARK METHOD Where : qo = Uniform Load I = Influence factor N = No. of blocks
NEWMARK METHOD • Diagram Drawing • Take z/qo between 0 and 1, with increment 0.1 or other, then find r/z value • Determine the scale of depth and length • Example : 2.5 cm for 6 m • 3. Calculate the radius of each circle by r/z value multiplied with depth (z) • 4. Draw the circles with radius at step 3 by considering the scale at step 2
NEWMARK METHOD • Example, the depth of point (z) = 6 m And so on, generally up to z/qo 1 because if z/qo = 1 we get r/z =
EXAMPLE • A uniform load of 250 kPa is applied to the loaded area shown in next figure : • Find the stress at a depth of 80 m below the ground surface due to the loaded area under point O’
EXAMPLE Solution : • Draw the loaded area such that the length of the line OQ is scaled to 80 m. • Place point O’, the point where the stress is required, over the center of the influence chart • The number of blocks are counted under the loaded area • The vertical stress at 80 m is then indicated by : v = qo . I . N v = 250 . 0.02 . 8 = 40 kPa
