A circular tank of 3.91m in diameter is uniformly loaded with 100 kPa. Compute: a) The stresses under the center of the tank at a depth of 2m below the tank and compute the stresses under the edge of the tank, also at a depth of 2m. b) Compare the stress computed only under the center of the tank at a depth of 2m from previous numeral, but now using the solution of "uniformly loaded rectangular area." This is done after converting the circle into an equivalent square. Discuss the results.

A temporary excavation shown below is braced with a steel tube strut. Every morning, a misguided foreman tightens the screw mechanism on the strut "just to be safe". The stress on a soil particle at point A, just behind the wall, has been measured with pressure sensor installed by the Engineer. It now measures 40KPa. If the potential failure planes in the soil behind the wall sustain 60 degrees angles with respect to the vertical wall, determine the normal stress at point A along potential failure plane.
