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

Must be handwrittenShow your complete solution with proper working equations.Express intermediate answers to at least four (4) decimal places and round final answers to two (2) decimal places. Enclose and summarize your final answers in a box
For the frame shown below, determine the vertical displacement at C. Assume that flexural rigidities AB and BC segments are EI and 2EI, respectively. Use the method of virtual work and show all working.
You are an engineer designing an aeration tank for a wastewater treatment plant receiving municipal waste. The activated sludge system (aeration tank and secondary clarifier) you design needs to remove 85% of the incoming BODs from the primary effluent, giving a final concentration of 30.0 mg BOD5/L exiting the system. Your design will maintain a concentration of 2500 mg VSS/L and F/M ratio of 0.5 g BOD/g VSS d in the aeration tank. In an effort to keep the waste activated sludge low in water, only about 0.1% of the primary effluent flow (Q) exits the WAS line. The secondary effluent has a flow rate of 9990 m³/d. What volume (in m³) will the aeration tank need to be? Write out all equations and state any assumptions as needed. Primary effluent: Aeration tank V, X, S Secondary clarifier Secondary effluent: Q. Xo. So Qe, Xe, S 0 po RAS line: Q, X., S Activated sludge control volume WAS line: Qw, X, S
