Assumptions
of Boussinesq’s Theory
In this article we discussed the assumptions of boussinesq's theory
Some of the important assumptions of Boussinesqs theory
- Soil mass is elastic medium for which it has Constant Modulus of Elasticity
- Soil is homogeneous, isotropic, semi-infinite and elastic In nature
- Hooks law is valid i. e, Stress is directly Proportional to Strain
- Self weight of soil is neglected
- Soil is unstressed initially.
- Change In volume of soil is due to application of load is ignored.
- The top surface of soil is Fee from shear Stress and is only Subjected to point load or Concentrated load
- Distribution of Stresses about vertical axis is Symmetrical.
