Settlement question
Settlement question
(OP)
I'm trying to set up a work sheet on Excel to calculate the settlement for rectangular footings. One step requires for me to read the influence value from NAVFAC DM-7 Figure 4 "Influence Value for Vertical Stress Beneath a Corner of a Uniformly Loaded Rectangular Area (Boussinesq Case) page 7.1-168 and I was wondering if any of you guys know where can I find the formulas to recreate those curves or to find the influence value "I" directly without having to read the values from the chart as it is very cumbersome. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The Boussinesq equation for the vertical stress beneath a corner of a rectangular loaded area is :
This is in terms of B and L in place of X and Y, as given in NAVFAC.
