SCOUR (15 m 6 m (a) Side view (b) Plan view Owner of the Amir Chalet and Fishing Corner in Lumut near the Manjung River is concerned about the safety of his premises due to river erosion. A unit of chalet is estimated to weigh 10,000 kN and is supported on 4 piers located at the corners of a square area 6 m on a side. a) Calculate the total stress (o) and the effective stress(o') at point X during the high and low tide. (Assume no additional stress from the superstructure). b) Estimate the vertical stress increment (Ag) due to the additional stress from the superstructures (1 unit chalet) at point X. Use Boussinesq (1885) method. c) Compute the total vertical stress at point X when predicted minimum and maximum scouring effect took place around the piers. [Include the vertical stress increment from (b) in calculation].
