A timber dam is made of planking backed by vertical piles. The piles are built-in atthe section A where they enter the ground and they are supported by horizontal strutswhose centre lines are 10 m above A. The piles are spaced 1 m apart between centresand the depth of water against the dam is 10 m.Planking.Strut-10mPileAssuming that the thrust in the strut is two-sevenths the total water pressureresisted by each pile, sketch the form of the bending moment and shearingforce diagrams for a pile. Determine the magnitude of the bending momentat A and the position of the section which is free from bending moment.

Solution-The diagram is shown below,

A four-pile group consists of 12 in. square prestressed concrete piles 35 ft long. The piles are driven into an overconsolidated clay whose cohesion cu is 2,000 psf and whose soil unit weight is 115 pcf. The pile spacing is diameters. The water table is at the ground surface. Using a factor of safety of 3, find the capacity of the pile group (α-method).
The wooden pile has a diameter of 95 mm and is subjected to a load of P = 82 kN. Around the perimeter of the pile, soil supplies a constant frictional resistance of w = 3.8 kN/m. The length of the pile is L = 5.9 m and its elastic modulus is E = 7.9 GPA. P A B Bed rock soil
