The variation of ∆σz /q with z/R as obtained from Eq. (10.25) is given in
Table (4). A plot of this also is shown in Chart (2). The value of ∆σz
decreases rapidly with depth, and at z = 5R, it is about 6% of q, which is the
intensity of pressure at the ground surface.

Fig. (9) explains the idea. In this figure, we need to calculate the (∆σz) at
a specific point A (not the corner) below the rectangular loading area, in this
case we need to divide the loading area to a four rectangles, and the point A
will be the corner for each rectangle.
