A rectangular footing with dimensions of 8ft x 12ft is constructed at the surface of the ground and supports a column with a load of 192,000 lbs. The load applied to the footing results in a uniform stress distribution at the base of the footing. What is the change in vertical stress 12 feet below the ground, underneath Point A, at the corner, on the diagram?
