Solid Mechanics

Engineering mechanics is a branch of science that deals with forces causing bulk motion in bodies and the effect that these forces cause on the bodies. Engineering mechanics does not deal with the internal changes that occur on account of these external forces. The internal effects in a body or a material under the action of external forces are studied in a new branch of science called solid mechanics, the strength of materials, or the mechanical behavior of engineering materials.

Which of the following statements are correct (select all that apply) ? Group of answer choices Boussinesq’s equations can be used to estimate the increase in total vertical stress within the soil below the foundation of a circular tank resting at the ground surface as long as the entire soil profile is linear-elastic, homogeneous and isotropic. The principle of superposition of loads can be used to combine the increase in vertical stress from various surface loads as long as long the underlying soil profile is homogeneous. If a soil profile consists of a soft clay layer near the surface underlain by a very stiff clay layer, Boussinesq’s equations would tend to over-estimate the increase in vertical stress within the upper soft clay layer due to a surface load. The influence depth associated with a surface load corresponds to the depth beyond which the relative increase in vertical stress after loading is negligible.
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
