S OFS F: Ettelment Hallow Oundations

The document discusses stresses in soil from surface loading using the 2:1 method to calculate settlement of shallow foundations. It provides equations to calculate stress distribution with depth for different types of footings, including square, rectangular, circular, and wall foundations, based on the footing area and depth below the surface. The stress decreases with depth until it reaches the underlying bedrock.
