How is westergaard's theory is different from boussinesq's solution

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\texttt{\fcolorbox{Red}{aqua}{Hey Mate!!!}}}$

"lt is a common observation that thetheory of elasticity is useful beyond the range of elasticity." TheBoussinesq method is one of the most commonly used methods for obtaining stress distributions in elastic media. It assumes that a medium is elastic, isotropic and homogeneous.
