regular block of concrete serving as foundation post to a structure has a cross-section of 50 cm x 50 cm and weighs 800 N/cu.m. Half of the post overall height of 200 cm will be buried without footing foundation. Also the concrete will carry an equivalent of 100 kN live load and 5 kN dead load from other equipment in the building. Compute the minimum bearing capacity of the soil.

A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a cross-section dimensions b=400mm andoverall depth h= 800mm. The beam as shown in the image below carries asuperimposed dead load of 12 kN/m (excluding the self-Weight of the beam) andspecified live load of 20 kN/m. The beam has a compressive strength of 30Mpa andreinforcement yield strength of 400 Mpa a) What is the self weight of the beam? b) What is the modulus of elasticy and yeild strain of reinforcement
7.18 A sandstone bed with RQD = 70% and y = 26.0 kN/m³ lies beneath 1.5 m of overburden soil. A 2.0 m × 2.0 m square foundation is to be placed on top of the sandstone rock (i.e., at a 1.5 depth below the ground level) to carry a column load. The unit weight of the soil is 18.0 kN/m³. Assuming the rock strength parameters from Problem 7.17,
2. Design a one-way slab to carry a service live load of 4000 Pa. The slab has a length of 4m with both ends continuous. Assume f'c = 21MPa and fy = 415 MPa for main bars and fy=276 MPa for temperature bars. Unit weight of concrete is 23.5 kN/m³.
Determine the maximum stress in the timber beam with the size of 120 x 370 mm. Please answer with complete solution.. thank youu..
A simply supported slab has a length of 3.5 m. It is topped with 25 mm thick grout (unit weight = 12 KN/cum) and 10 mm tiles (unit weight = 15 KN/cum). The main rebars is 10 mm spaced at 90 mm on centers. Use fy= 276 Mpa, fc’= 21 Mpa and unit weight of concrete is 23.5 KN/cum. Determine the uniform live load capacity of the slab.

A piece of engineering equipment is supported by the foundation shown. The diameter of the circular pin is 20 mm. a.) Determine the value of P so as not to exceed the allowable bearing stress of 310.5 Mpa in the circular pin. b.) Determine the value of P so as not to exceed the allowable shearing stress of 138 Mpa in the circular pin.
A 300mm x 500mm rectangular concrete beam is reinforced with four pieces 25mm diameter bars. The beam is simply supported on a span of unknown length. The uniform linear dead load from the slab is 18kN/m (weight of beam not included) and the uniform linear live load is 10KN/m. The effective depth of the beam is 430mm. Using your own values of fc' = 21.1 MPa and fy = 345 MPa from the excel file, determine the safe length of the beam. Use area of one 25mm diameter bar = 510mm2.
