The vertical stress increment (Ao) due to a point load acting on the surface of linearly elastic medium is given as: g = 4 n = 17 3P23 Ao = 27Vr? + z? where P is the magnitude of the load, r is the lateral distance, and z is the depth of the point where the stress is to be calculated. If P = 10g kN andr = 1.5 m, determine (by using two methods: fixed-point and Newton-Raphson method) the depth z at which the stress increment Ao = 10n kN/m?. (Take g=student group number A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, and E=5, n=student number in his/her group, and e =1x10-6)
