point J can be found by subtracting the effects of the rectangle HEFJ from those of the
rectangle GACJ.
Figures 22.10(b) and 22.11(b) give the depths of influence of surface loads so the
increase of stress due to a foundation can be compared with the original stress in the
ground. During ground investigations samples should taken and tested at all depths
