Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

6. 7. Calculate the induced vertical stress at point A at a depth of 5 feet. The surface stress in the shaded areas is 3000 lb/ft2. Hint: The contributions of the shaded areas must be calculated separately and then added together. The contribution from the lower area will require the use of imaginary rectangles. (Answer: 1892 lb/ft2, yours may differ slightly) Four 40' diameter fuel tanks are constructed in a square pattern. The tanks apply a maximum surface pressure of 5000 lb/ft2. The spacing of the tanks is 50 feet center- center. What is the induced vertical stress beneath the center of the area at depths of 20 feet and 50 feet? (1400 and 1700 lb/ft2, some variation expected from chart reading)
