This chapter discusses the principles of estimating vertical stress increases in soil caused by various types of surface loading. It presents methods to determine normal and shear stresses on inclined planes using Mohr's circle. It also provides equations to calculate vertical stress increases at depth due to point loads, line loads, uniformly distributed strip loads, linearly increasing strip loads, and uniformly loaded circular and rectangular areas. The solutions are based on elastic theory and can be used to estimate settlement from foundation loading.

STRESSES IN SOIL MASS
FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING CHAPTER 10: STRESSES IN SOIL MASS 2
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Construction of a foundation causes changes in the stress, usually
a net increase. The net stress increase in the soil depends on the load per unit area to which the foundation is subjected, the depth below the foundation at which the stress estimation is desired, and other factors. It is necessary to estimate the net increase of vertical stress in soil that occurs as a result of the construction of a foundation so that settlement can be calculated.

10.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the principles of estimation of vertical stress increase in soil caused by various types of loading, based on the theory of elasticity. It includes:
Determination of normal and shear stresses on an inclined plane with known stresses on a two- dimensional stress element Determination of vertical stress increase at a certain depth due to the application of load on the surface. The loading type includes: Point load Line load Uniformly distributed vertical strip load Linearly increasing vertical loading on a strip Uniformly loaded circular area Uniformly loaded rectangular area CHAPTER 10: STRESSES IN SOIL MASS

10.2 Normal and Shear Stresses on a Plane (Mohr’s Circle)
The normal stress and shear stress that act on any plane can also be determined by plotting a Mohr’s circle, as shown in Figure 10.2. The following sign conventions are used in Mohr’s circles: Compressive normal stresses are taken as positive, and shear stresses are considered positive if they act on opposite faces of the element in such a way that they tend to produce a counterclockwise rotation.

Loaded Area Boussinesq’s solution can also be used to calculate the vertical stress increase below a flexible rectangular load area, as shown in the figure below.
The loaded area is located at the ground surface
and has length L and width B.
