Question
a. A total load of $900\text{kN}$ is uniformly distributed over a rectangular footing of size $2\text{m} \times 3\text{m}$. find the vertical stress at depth of $2.5\text{ m}$ below the footing at point C, under one corner, and D, under the centre. If another footing of size $1\text{m} \times 3\text{m}$ with a total load of $450\text{kN}$ is constructed adjoining the previous footing, what is the additional vertical stress at the point C at the same depth due to the construction of the second footing?
b. Differentiate between triaxial and direct shear test.
