2. Plot the distribution of additional vertical stress and horizontal stress (in both directions) with depth (from the

surface indicated by the black horizontal line in the figures, to a depth of 20m, in 0.5 m increments), at the

location indicated by the blue dashed line due to the relevant surface load, for:

a. Embankment (2) (Figure 2a)

b. Coal stockpile (3) (Figure 2b) - if you have not answered Question 1, assume yb = 12kN/m³

c. Embankment (1) (Figure 2d)

d. Line load L2 (Figure 2c) - assume that load on embankment is equivalent to load on infinite half space

e. Line load L1 (Figure 2e) -- assume that load on embankment is equivalent to load on infinite half space
