A line is recorded as 472.90 m long. It is measured with a 0.65 kg tape which is 30.005 m long at 20 °C under a 50 N pull supported at both ends. During measurement, the temperature is 5 °C and the tape is suspended under a 75 N pull. The line is measured on 3% grade. E = 200 GPa, cross-sectional area of the tape is 3 mm2 and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m/°C. a. Compute the actual length of tape during measurement. b. Compute the total error to be corrected for the inclined distance. c. What is the true horizontal distance?

Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.
