Q2/ A (2m x 4 m) rectangular flexible foundation is placed above the ground surface (G.S) for two layers of clay, each layer 10 m thick. The modulus of Elasticity (E.) of the upper layer is 13 MN/m² and that of the lower layer is 15 MN/m². The Poisson ratio is (u, = 0.6) for the two layers. The pressure (stress) of 100 kN/m²is distributed along the surface of foundation. Determine the rigid immediate settlement at the corner of the foundation using Elastic theory method?
Q1/ Find the maximum allowable load for a square foundation (3 m x 3 m) placed vertically in cohesive soil? (Use Terzaghi equation) Note: Yt=Yeat=18 kN/m³ Depth of foundation = 1.5 m Depth of water table below the ground surface = 0.8 m Factor of safety 3 C=20 Yw = 10 kN/m³ = No vertical or inclined loads
P.3.3 Oil of sp.gr. 0.9 flows through a vertical pipe (upwards). Two points A and B one above the other 40 cm apart in a pipe are connected by a U-tube carrying mercury. If the difference of pressure between A and B is 0.2 kg/cm², 1- Find the reading of the manometer. 2- If the oil flows through a horizontal pipe, find the reading in manometer for the same difference in pressure between A and B. Ans. 1- R= 0.12913 m, 2- R = 0.1575 m,
