Using the method of virtual work, for the truss shown below, determine the horizontal displacement of joint A. Take A = 180 mm2 and E = 200 GPa for each member.
A gravity retaining wall is shown in the figure below. Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning and sliding, given the following data: Wall dimensions: H = 6 m, x₁ = 0.6 m, x2 = 2 m, x3 = 2m, x4 0.5 m, x5 = 0.75 m, x6 = 0.8 m, D= 1.5 m Soil properties: 71 = 14 kN/m³, ₁ = 32°, 72 = 18 kN/m³, 2=22°, c₂ = 40 kN/m² Y₁ c₁ = 0 H Φί x5 x6 Use the Rankine active earth pressure in your calculation. Use Yconcrete = 23.08 kN/m³. Also, use k₁ = k₂ = 2/3 and Pp = 0 in the equation FS (sliding) (ΣV) tan(k102) + Bk2c2 + Pp Pa cos a (Enter your answers to three significant figures.) FS (overturning) FS (sliding) =
For the cantilever retaining wall shown in the figure below, let the following data be given: Wall dimensions: H = 8 m, x1 = 0.4 m, x2 = 0.6 m, x3 = 1.5 m, x4 3.5 m, x5 = 0.96 m, D= 1.75 m, a = 10° Soil properties: 71 = 14.8 kN/m³, ₁ = 32°, Y₂ = 1 2 = 28°, c = 30 kN/m² 17.6 kN/m³, The value of Ka is 0.3210. For 2 = 28°: N = 25.80; N₁ = 14.72; N₁ = 16.72. c=0 H Χς Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity. Use Yconcrete = 21.58 kN/m³. Also, use k₁ = k₂ = 2/3 and P = 0 in the equation FS (sliding) (ΣV) tan(k₁₂) + Bk2C + Pp Pa cosa (Enter your answers to three significant figures.) FS (overturning) FS (sliding) FS (bearing) =
