Soil Mechanics – Stress Distribution in Soil Using Boussinesq Theory (Rectangular Loading)

[GEO-2025-0128] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are excited to introduce the Stress Distribution in Soil Using Boussinesq Theory (Rectangular Loading) spreadsheet pack, part of the Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets (2025-1) collection. This set includes 4 essential spreadsheets designed to help soil mechanics professionals, students, and geotechnical engineers calculate and analyze vertical stress distribution in soil under rectangular loading using Boussinesq theory.

This pack provides solutions for computing stress distribution and includes influence charts that are crucial for foundation design and soil behavior analysis in areas affected by varying load conditions.

What’s Included in the 4 Spreadsheets?

  1. Start: Stress Distribution in Soil – Boussinesq Theory – Rectangular Loading – Introduction sheet for stress distribution analysis.
  2. Rectangular Loading: Calculation Sheet for Stress Distribution in soil using Boussinesq Theory for vertical stress calculation.
  3. Influence-Main: Influence Chart for Computing Vertical Stress – Visual tool for calculating stress distribution.
  4. Influence-Image: Influence Chart Image – A graphical representation of the influence chart for stress calculations.

Applications in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering:7

  • Stress Distribution: Use Boussinesq theory to calculate vertical stress distribution in soil under rectangular loading conditions.
  • Influence Charts: Generate and interpret influence charts for accurate stress calculations in different soil conditions.
