Civil Engineering > GATE 2022 SET-2 > Stress Distribution
A concentrically loaded isolated square footing of size 2 m × 2 m carries a concentrated vertical load of 1000 kN. Considering Boussinesq's theory of stress distribution, the maximum depth (in m) of the pressure bulb corresponding to 10% of the vertical load intensity will be ________ (round off to two decimal places).

Correct : 4.00
