Two square footings with equal contact pressure of 250 kPa are at 5 m apart (center-to-center). The size of the one footing (A) is 2 m × 2 m and the other one (B) is 2.5 m × 2.5 m respectively.
Which of the following is/are correct?
1
Vertical stress at 2 m vertically below Footing A is 187.45 N/m2
2
Vertical stress at the mid-point between the footings is 29.12 kN/m2
3
Vertical stress at the mid-point between the footings is 29.12 N/m2
4
Vertical stress at 2 m vertically below Footing A is 120.74 kN/m2
