Circular Load Soil Stress Tool
Geometry of Uniform Circular Load
Tips
This tool is for calculating vertical stress increment in soil induced by the applied uniform circular load, as shown in the figure above.
The soil layer is assumed as homogeneous, elastic and isotropic.
All the input parameters should be positive.
The coordinates of point A are limited in the calculator (z<2B, r<0.5B).
For "nan", "0" or "inf" displayed in Results, please check your input parameters.
