Soil Mechanics – Stress Distribution in Soil (Boussinesq Method) | Point Load Analysis

Soil Mechanics – Stress Distribution in Soil (Boussinesq Method) | Point Load Analysis | GEOtExcel Spreadsheets

[GEO-2025-0126] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are pleased to introduce the Stress Distribution in Soil (Boussinesq Method) spreadsheet pack, part of the GEOtExcel (2025-1) collection. This pack includes 5 powerful spreadsheets designed for geotechnical engineers, soil mechanics students, and civil engineering professionals who need to analyze stress distribution in soil under a point load using the Boussinesq method. The spreadsheets cover detailed total stress, pore water pressure, effective stress calculations, and provide graphical insights into the stress distribution.

What’s Included in the 5 Spreadsheets?

Start: The introductory sheet for Stress Distribution in Soil using the Boussinesq Method.
Boussinesq: Boussinesq’s Formula for point load stress distribution in soil.
Point Load1: Stress distribution analysis for Point Load with stress-x graph visualization.
Point Load2: Stress distribution analysis for Point Load with z-stress graph.
Pressure Bulb: Pressure bulb analysis for point load stress distribution in soil.

Applications in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering:

Stress Distribution Analysis: Accurately calculate stress distribution in soil using the Boussinesq method.
Point Load Analysis: Determine the effects of point load on stress distribution in soil layers.
Graphical Representation: Visualize stress-x and z-stress graphs for better understanding of soil behavior.
Pressure Bulb Analysis: Analyze and visualize the pressure bulb around a point load in soil.
Teaching & Learning Tool: Ideal for soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering education and practical use.
Field Work & Lab Testing: Use for site investigations and laboratory experiments to analyze soil response under load.
