Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

i asked this exact question three times and each time i get a different answer ? what is going on ??
a square footing with a size of 10 ft by 10 ft is located 8ft below the ground surface. the subsoil consists of a thick deposit of stiff cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength equal to 3600lb/ft2. The soils units weight is 128lb/ft3. calculate the ultimate bearing capacity.
A 7 foot-square footing is embedded 3 feet below the ground surface and is supported on a clayey sand fill having a total unit weight of 130 pcf. Groundwater is at 8 feet below the ground surface. Consolidated undrained triaxial tests with porewater pressure measurements on three "identical" samples suggest the fill has a drained friction angle of 29 degrees and drained cohesion of 50 psf. What is the allowable bearing capacity for this footing for a factor of safety of 3 AND what is the maximum allowable column load the footing can safely support based on this factor of safety?
Please briefly describe the main procedure of the construction of sunk well foundation. What are the causes to lead the tilt or deflection during the installation, and how to treat the tilt or deflection?
Computations indicate that a planned building loading will cause the principal stresses in the soil at a point beneath the building to increase to total values of 4,500 psf and 1,500 psf (major and minor principal stresses,respectively). If the soil is a dry sand with an angle of internal friction equal to 35°, will the indicated stresses cause a shear failure at the point?
A proposed office building will include a 10 ft x10 ft square, 3 ft deep (the footing height is also 3 feet) spread footing. The normally consolidated clay has the following engineering properties: Ydry = 115.0 pcf $'=24° c'= 90.0 psf Cc/(1+eo) = 0.15 The soil stratum extends to a great depth, and the ground water table is 50 ft below the ground surface. What is the maximum bending moment from the earthquake that this foundation can support? Consider bending moment only about one axis.
It is proposed to pour a footing on soil that has been classified as stiff slay. What would be the allowable bearing pressure for this situation? 300 kPa 40 kPa 75 kPa 150 kPa
What are the factors considered during foundation design and why each factor is important? Discuss.
A structural engineer wants to consider placing the base of the building so deep that the soil below will not experience any additional load. They asked you to design a fully compensated mat foundation under the entire building. They has determine that the plan view of the building will be 65 ft by 65 feet. and the building will weighs 10,790 kips. The clayey soil beneath the site has a cohesion of 418 psf and the unit weight of the soil is 118 pcf. How deep will they have to place the structure to fully compensate for the weight of the building.
Which checks are essential to perform for a successful design of deep foundation?
