Wooden planks 300mm wide by 100mm thick are used to retain soil height 3m. The planks used can be assumed fixed at the base. The active soil exerts pressure that varies linearly from OkPa at the top to 14.5kPa at the fixed base of the wall. Consider 1-meter length and use modulus of elasticity of wood as 8.5 x 10^3 MPa. Determine the maximum bending (MPa) stress in the cantilevered wood planks.

A 30 ft tall column has a cross section of 8" x 8" with 1" thick walls, (i.e., it has a 6" x 6" hole in the middle). The material has a Young's Modulus E = 2,000,000 psi, and an axial yield stress of 1600 psi. Using a crushing FOS of 1.67 and a buckling FOS of 1.9, compute the following: a) What is the LARGEST axial load this column can sustain? Hetion b) If the column is braced (in both directions) at 10 feet above the ground, what is the maximum axial load the column can sustain?
A rectangular concrete beam 277 mm wide and 495 mm deep is simply supported over a span of 8.37 m. the beam is reinforced with straight tendons situated 59 mm above the bottom of the beam under a prestressing force of 387 kN. Concrete weighs 23.36 kN/m3 with modulus of elasticity Ec=13,814.76 MPa. Assuming tension concrete does not crack, what is the midspan deflection due to the given loads. (Include the sign if it is negative) Please avoid rounding off values during the course of solution proper as much as possible. Always write your answer in 4 decimal places
