An engineer proposes as a solution to the problem of the dam, to reinforce it according to the figure shown, but now the critical height h of the water level must be determined, which would make the indicated concrete reinforcement on the verge of overturning due to the water pressure. The density of the concrete 2.40 Mg/m^3, H=18m and d= 6m. Hints: use typical values of water, consider one meter width of the dam to then generalize and don't forget point A.
Q4-A:For the soil profile shown below, the coefficient of volume compressibility varies linearly from 420x106 m²/kN at 100 kN/m² to 320x106 m²/kN at 200 kN/m². calculate the final building settlement. Answer B or C building weight=90x10³ Q4-B:Mention the graphical procedures used for determining the maximum past pressure. - 0.0 Area=18x18m y=20kN/m² H - -1 y=20kN/m² Q4-C: A soft clay layer 0.5m thick is sandwiched between layers of sand. The initial vertical total stress at the center of the clay layer is 50 kPa and the porewater pressure is 20 kPa.
