I am not a structural engineer, just a water resources engineer trying to pass the exam.
hopefully you structures people can help! I have no idea how to use the boussinesq stress contour chart and I can't figure it out. can anyone provide a reference on how to read these things or any instructions?
I thought I knew, but I get the wrong answer on all the review problems using this chart. I searched online and cannot find a "how to".
the chart has semi-circular pressure bulbs at various intervals (0.1P, 0.2P, 0.3P....) and the axis say 0.5B, 1B, 1.5B, 2B
