Two flat jacks 12 in. square, are placed in the wall and roof of an approximately circular test gallery 8 ft in diameter. Flat jack 1 is horizontal, and placed in the side wall. Flat jack 2 is vertical, with its edge parallel to the axis of the gallery. The cancellation pressure measured were 2500 psi with FJ 1 and 900 psi with FJ 2. Estimate the initial stresses (vertical and horizontal). a) Vertical = 1037 psi; Horizontal 612 psi b) Vertical = 1050 psi; Horizontal 650 psi c) Vertical = 1062 psi; Horizontal

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Two flat jacks 12 in. square, are
placed in the wall and roof of
an approximately circular test
gallery 8 ft in diameter. Flat
jack 1 is horizontal, and placed
in the side wall. Flat jack 2 is
vertical, with its edge parallel
to the axis of the gallery. The
cancellation pressure
measured were 2500 psi with
FJ 1 and 900 psi with FJ 2.
Estimate the initial stresses
(vertical and horizontal).
a) Vertical = 1037 psi; Horizontal =
612 psi
b) Vertical = 1050 psi; Horizontal =
650 psi
c) Vertical = 1062 psi; Horizontal =
687 psi
d) Vertical = 1075 psi; Horizontal =
725 psi
