Please explain it, how the compressive stress developed in the bottom layer?

Top layer will be subjected to max compressive stress and bottom layer will be subjected to max tensile stress. Refer pg :- 293, Strength of materials by R.K.Bansal.

If the beam is cantilever then compressive stress developer at the bottom layer.

Shear stresses vary quadratically with the distance y1 from the neutral axis. The maximum shear stress occurs at the neutral axis and is zero at both the top and bottom surface of the beam.

If the beam is simply supported then maximum compressive stress will be at top layer and if it is cantilever beam then maximum compressive stress will act at the bottom layer.
