EXAMPLES 1 Solution A uniform stress of 250 KPa is applied to the loaded area shown below: (Dimensions in meters) Using Newmark chart, compute the stress at a depth of 80 m below the ground surface due to the loaded area under point O'. Uniform lead, 250 KP Scale I em-20 m ot 40 60 Draw the loaded area such that the length of the line OQ is scaled to 80m. For exanple. the ilist ance ĀB in Fig. Ex. 8.3a is 1.5 times the distance OQ.0Q = 80 m and AB - 120 m. Next, place point O', the point where the stress is required, over the center of the influence chart (as shown in Fig. Ex. 8.3b to a slightly smaller scale). The number of blocks (and partial blocks) are counted under the loaded area. In this case, about eight blocks are found. The vertical stress at 80 m is then indicated by: (a) Influence o,- qdxNo. of blocks bleck-0.02 Where q.- surface or contact stress, and 1 - influence value per block (0.02 in Fig. Ex. 8.3b) Therefore, o,- 250 KPax0.02x8 blocks = 40 KPa Deph pre To compute the…
Tension specimens (diameter d0 0.500 in., gage length L0 2.00 in.) made of structural materials A and B are tested to failure in tension. (a) At failure the distances between the gage marks are LAf 2.90 in. and LBf 2.22 in.; the corresponding diameters at the failure cross sections are dAf 0.263 in. and dBf 0.471 in., respectively. Determine the percent elongation in 2 in. and the percent reduction in area for these two materials, and classify each material as either brittle or ductile. (b) From these tensile tests the following data are also obtained: EA 10.0 103 ksi, (Y)A 5 ksi, (U)A 13 ksi; EB 10.4 103 ksi, (Y)B 73 ksi, (U)B 83 ksi. From the data given here, make rough sketches (to scale) of the stress-strain diagrams of materials A and B.

A soil nail proposed to be installed under the conditions given below is designed against unfactored working force of 50KN. • Ground described as sandy gravel. • Soil nail installed at an angle of 10 degrees to the horizontal and 1.2 m below the ground surface. • Nail dimensions: total length = 5 m with 60% bonded, bonded diameter = 0.35 m, debonded diameter = 0.15 m Assuming parameters not given and considering the water able to be at the surface, propose the suitable type of soil nail and calculate the theoretical working factor of safety of the installed nail against pull out. Also, briefly discuss what would jeopardise your theoretical predictions of the nail performance.
