Analysis and Calculation of the Additional Stress in the Foundation under Trapezoid-Distribution Load

Abstract:

Based on J. V. Boussinesq's solution, the additional stress in the foundation is calculated under the trapezoid-distributed line load, and with the help of the line load, a formula is derived for calculating the additional stress in the foundation under the center line of trapezoid-distribution load along the Y-axis. By means of the formula, the different calculation formulas of the additional stress are determined under the load of rectangular, triangular and semi-infinite long stripe along with the change of the initial conditions. The formula can be applied to the additional stress's calculation of space problem more widely and is better than that seems to be dispersed in the reference books. Therefore, the calculation result has practical significance.
