Chapter 10, Problem 10.1CTP

EB and FG are two planes inside a soil element ABCD as shown in Figure 10.50.

Chapter 10, Problem 10.1CTP, EB and FG are two planes inside a soil element ABCD as shown in Figure 10.50. Stress conditions on

Stress conditions on the two planes are

Plane EB: σEB = 25 kN/m2; τEB = +10 kN/m2

Plane FG: σFG = 10 kN/m2; τFG = –5 kN/m2

(Note: Mohr’s circle sign conventions for stresses are used above)

Given α; = 25°, determine:

  1. a. The maximum and minimum principal stresses
  2. b. The angle between the planes EB and FG
  3. c. The external stresses on planes AB and BC that would cause the above internal stresses on planes EB and FG

. The free fall distance was 1753 mm. The times for the release and catch recorded on the fall experiments were in millisecond: 222.22 800.00 61.11 641.67 0.00 588.89 11.11 588.89 8.33 588.89 11.11 588.89 5.56 586.11 2.78 583.33   Calculate the time taken for the fall for each experiment. Calculate for each fall the acceleration based on time and distance. Calculate the mean of the accelerations. Give in the answer window the calculated mean of accelerations in m/s2.
