The document discusses the calculation of vertical stress below a uniformly loaded circular area. It defines relevant terms and symbols. Tables are provided showing values of functions A' and B' which are used in the equation Δσz = q(A'+B') to calculate the vertical stress at any point based on the load q, depth z, and radius R. An example problem demonstrates using the tables and equation to calculate vertical stress at various depths and radial distances from the center of the loaded area.
