A single rectangular opening 10 ft (3.0 m) in height is driven in rock having strengths of fc = 18,000 lb/in2 (124 MPa) and ft=1500 lb/in2. (10.3 MPa).Rock specific gravity is 2.3.The opening is located at depth of 2000 ft (610 m) in a stress field of no lateral pressure and has a fillet ratio of h .a. Determine if the opening will fail when its width is 20 ft (6.1 m).b. Is there any benefit to reducing the width to 10 ft (3.0 m)? To 5 ft (1.5 m)?c. What is the maximum safe width of opening?
Considering that the horizontal thrust from the back of a 5.5 m wide brick wall to the 1 m deep part of the wall is H = 55 kN a) Find the greatest stress in the base when b = 2 m.b) Find the width b so that there is a shrinkage zone at the base.(Note: unit weight of brick wall ỿ = 24 kN / m3 ) Answer: ϭmax=0,30 Mpa, b=2,23 m
The following figure shows a section of an anchored retaining wall embedded into a saturated stiff clay layer. The sand has a unit weight of = 18 kN/m³, c' = 0 kPa and o' = 34º. The clay has a unit weight of = 20 kN/m³, c₁ = 80 kPa and = 0°. A uniform pressure of 40 kPa is applied on the soil surface. The short term stability of the wall is considered in an undrained analysis. Use the Rankin's theory of lateral earth pressure to determine the active and passive horizontal stresses. You should apply the requirements of AS 4678 and the partial factors of safety method in estimation of soil pressures. Assume the soil is in-situ and use a structural classification factor of ₁ = 1. 3m 1m Water table 1.5m 40 kPa Not to Scale Sand Clay Ta
