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)
10. A cylindrical tank has an inner radius of r= 1.5m and length of L = 3m, if it subjected
to an internal pressure of p = 300kPa, determine its minimum thickness if the
longitudinal stress is not to exceed 12MPa
