Measuring site work, Excavation and Piling

Bid drawings typically include very little material about the precise requirements of site work operations, measuring site work and excavation work differs from measuring most other works on a construction project. The actual site work conditions are not provided and also the dimensions of the excavations are not known during the pre-construction phase. The precise measurement of the excavation and backfill of the earth material and topsoil is important for a contractor to decide upon the total cost required for the process. All the works should be carried out under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards to ensure the safety of the workers.

The figure is a section of a masonry dam resting on a
previous foundation and subjected to water pressure
shown. Specific gravity of masonry dam is 2.40.
Assume that the path of percolation follows the line of
contact between the foundation and the masonry and
sheet piles. If the drop in the hydraulic gradient is
directly proportional to the length of the path of
percolation. Determine the moment about point C of
the pressure (force) acting on the surface ABC per
linear meter of dam.

Elementary beam theory predicts that the axial bending stress ox in a prismatic beam is given by: ox = (M.I,M,L)y+(M,I.-M.I.) (1,1₂-13/2) where My and M₂ are bending moments applied to a cross-section, and where ly, lz and lyz are second moments of area in the usual notation (Oxyz is a Cartesian coordinate system in which the x axis corresponds to the centroidal axis of the beam).
