Explanation:

Writing observation equation for X coordinate for jim to troy:

   XBR= XB+ ΔXBR+v1

WHERE

XB= X coordinate of the station bonnie = 1,161,121.599m

∆XB-R= X component in baseline vector = 3.377.788m

1= residual

   XBR=1,161,121.599+3.377.788+v1          = 1,164,499.387+ v1

Writing observation equation for Y coordinate for Bonnie to Ray:

   YBR= YB+ ΔYBR+v2

WHERE

YB= Y coordinate of the station BONNIE = 4,655,872.977

ΔYB-R = Y component in baseline vector = 4,727.902

2= residual

    YBR=4,655,872.977+4,727.902+v2          = 4,660,600.879+ v2

Writing observation equation for Y coordinate for Bonnie to Ray:

   ZBR= ZB+ ΔZBR+v3

WHERE

ZB= Z coordinate of the station bonnie = 4,188,330.232m

∆ZB-R= Z component in baseline vector = 6,172.019m

3= residual

   ZBR=4,188,330.232+6,172.019+v3          = 4,182,158.213+ v3

Writing observation equation for X coordinate for tom to herb:

   XTH= XT+ ΔXTH+v4

WHERE

XT= X coordinate of the station Tom = 1,176,398.558m

∆XT-H= X component in baseline vector = 7,450.717m

4= residual

    XTH=1,176,398.558 7,450.717+v4          = 1,168,947.841+ v4

Writing observation equation for y coordinate for tom to herb:

   YTH= YT+ ΔYTH+v5

WHERE

YT= Y coordinate of the station tom = -4,653,039.613m

∆YT-H= Y component in baseline vector = 2,273.364m

5= residual

   YTH=4,653,039.613+2,273.364+ v5          = 4,650,766.249+ v5

Writing observation equation for Z coordinate for tom to herb

   ZTH= ZT+ ΔZTH+v6

WHERE

ZT= Z coordinate of the station tom = 4,187,198.360m

∆ZT-H= Z component in baseline vector = 4652.903m

6= residual

   ZTH=4,187,198.360m +4652.903+v6          = 4,191,851.263+ v6

Conclusion:

Hence, the observation equations for baseline components are:

   XBR= 1,164,499.387+ v1YBR= 4,660,600.879+ v2ZBR= 4,182,158.213+ v3XTH= 1,168,947.841+ v4YTH= 4,650,766.249+ v5ZTH= 4,191,851.263+ v6

Q2. Find the support reactions at A and F for the given structure in Fig.(2). 80kN-m 2 kN 1 m 2 m Im 1 m 2 m Fig. (2)
A continuous foundation is shown in Figure 1. If the load eccentricity, e = 0.5 meter. Determine the ultimate load Qult per unit length of the foundation. Use Mayerhof’s effective area method. Given B = 2 meter, Df = 2.0 meter , ϕ = 40 , c’ = 0 kN/m3, γ = 16.5 kN/m3 . Calculate also the Factor of Safety for the shallow foundation.
A simply supported beam is subjected to the end couples (bending is about the strong axis) and the axial load shown in the figure below. These moments and axial load are from service loads and consist of equal parts dead load and live load. Lateral support is provided only at the ends. Neglect the weight of the beam and investigate this member as a beam-column. Use Fy that P40 k and M = 68 ft-k. For W10 × 33: I = 171 in.4; 10 ft and C₁ = 1.0: Mn = 134 ft-kips and Mn/₁ = 89.3 ft-kips; = 50 ksi. Suppose for Lb for Lc - = 10 ft: Pn 330 kips and Pr/c = 220 kips.
