Chapter 14, Problem 14.2P

Redo Problem 14.1 with the following: L1 = 3m, L2 = 6 m, γ = 17.3 kN/m3, γsat = 19.4 kN/m3, and ϕ′ = 30°.

14.1 Figure P14.1 shows a cantilever sheet-pile wall penetrating a granular soil. Here, L1 = 4 m, L2 = 8 m, γ = 16.1 kN/m3, γsat = 18.2 kN/m3, and ϕ′ = 32°.

  1. a. What is the theoretical depth of embedment, D?
  2. b. For a 30% increase in D, what should be the total length of the sheet piles?
  3. c. Determine the theoretical maximum moment of the sheet pile.

Q1: determine the area of steel for the slab that rests on brick walls and is shown in the figure. Use the following data: f'c = 25 MPa, fy = 420 MPa, L.L. = 1.5 kN/m², D.L. = 3 kN/m² (without self-weight). Rate from (1 to 4) your ability to solve the problem 7 m 0.3 m 0.3 m
A rigging job calls for lifting a structure that weighs 150 tons.  Two cranes are available, one with a rated capacity of 85 tons and the other with a rated capacity of 120 tons.  The total weight of the rigging required to make the lift is 15 tons, of which 10 tons is to be carried by the larger craneand 5 tons is to be carried by the smaller crane.  If the cranes are to be loaded in proportion to their net capacities, what should be the approximate net load on the 120-ton crane?
