Crack Detection

Concrete materials are meant for supporting structures, building foundations and they act as several load-bearing structures. Over time, due to environmental conditions, and based on the constituent materials used, concrete materials are subjected to a great degree of distress. Corrosion of the reinforcement bars due to chemical influences, uneven base, earthquake, drying shrinkages, and alkali-aggregate reactions are some of the reasons for concrete distress.

How does a tensile stress differ from a compressive stress?
EB and FG are two planes inside a soil element ABCD as shown in Figure 10.50. Stress conditions on the two planes are Plane EB: EB = 25 kN/m2; EB = +10 kN/m2 Plane FG: FG = 10 kN/m2; FG = 5 kN/m2 (Note: Mohrs circle sign conventions for stresses are used above) Given ; = 25, determine: a. The maximum and minimum principal stresses b. The angle between the planes EB and FG c. The external stresses on planes AB and BC that would cause the above internal stresses on planes EB and FG
What size does an opening in concrete have to be before a deduction is made from the volume of concrete to account for the opening?
State whether the following are true or false. a. The higher the friction angle, the higher the value ofK0. b. K0is greater for normally consolidated clays than overconsolidatedclays. c. Active earth pressure coefficient is greater than the passive one. d. The larger the cohesion, the larger is the depth of the tensile cracks inclays in active state. e. Lateral earth pressures increase linearly with depth.
A soil element beneath a pave ment experiences principal stress rotations when the wheel load, W, passes over it and moves away, as shown in Figure 10.51. In this case, the wheel load has passed over points A and B and is now over point C. The general state of stress at these points is similar to the one shown by a stress block at point D. The phenomenon of principal stress rotation influences the permanent deformation behavior of the pavement layers. Investigate how the magnitude and the orientations of the principal stresses vary with distance from the point of application of the wheel load. Consider the case shown in Figure 10.51. An unpaved aggregate road with a thickness of 610 mm and unit weight of 19.4 kN/m3 is placed over a soil subgrade. A typical single-axle wheel load, W = 40 kN, is applied uniformly over a circular contact area with a radius of R = 150 mm (tire pressure of 565 kN/m2). The horizontal and shear stresses at each point are calculated from a linear elastic finite element analysis for a two-layer pavement and are presented in the following table. a. Use Eq. (10.28) to calculate the vertical stress increases at soil elements A, B, and C that are located at radial distances 0.457,0.267, and 0 m, respectively, from the center of the load. Determine the total vertical stress (y) due to wheel load, the overburden pressure at each point, and enter these values in the table. b. Use the pole method to determine the maximum and minimum principal stresses (1 and 3) for elements A, B, and C. Also determine the orientation (s) of the principal stress with respect to the vertical. Enter these values in the table. c. Plot the variations of 1 and s, with normalized radial distance, r/R, from the center of loading.
A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter 0. 510 inch. For each increment of load applied, the strain was directly determined by means of a strain gage attached to the specimen. The results are, shown in Table: 1.5.1. a. Prepare a table of stress and strain. b. Plot these data to obtain a stress-strain curve. Do not connect the data points; draw a best-fit straight line through them. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity as the slope of the best-fit line.
In Problem 7.1, if there was no bedrock present for at least 12.0 ft below the foundation, what would the ultimate bearing capacity be? 7.1 A 7.5 ft wide rough continuous foundation is placed in the ground at 3.0 ft depth. There is bedrock present at 3 ft depth below the bottom of the foundation. The soil properties are c′ = 210 lb/ft2, ϕ′ = 25°, and γ = 115.0 lb/ft3. Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.
A braced cut shown in Figure P19.3 is to be made to a depth of 9.0 m in a saturated clay deposit where the unit weight is 17.65 kN/m3 and the undrained shear strength is 30 kN/m2. The struts are spaced horizontally at 3.0 m center to center. Find the strut loads.
