Question
Considering that the horizontal thrust from the back of a 5.5 m wide brick wall to the 1 m deep part of the wall is H = 55 kN
a) Find the greatest stress in the base when b = 2 m.
b) Find the width b so that there is a shrinkage zone at the base.
(Note: unit weight of brick wall ỿ = 24 kN / m3 )
Answer: ϭmax=0,30 Mpa, b=2,23 m
