The single degree of freedom (SDOF) system that you studied under free vibration in Assignment #3 - Laboratory Component has been subjected to a strong ground motion. The acceleration at the base (excitation) and the acceleration at the roof (response) of the SDOF system was recorded with sampling rate 50 Hz (50 samples per second, or dt= 0.02 seconds). The file ElCentro.txt includes the two columns of acceleration data. The first column lists the acceleration at the base of the SDOF system. The second column lists the acceleration at the roof of the SDOF system. (a) Plot the time histories of the recorded accelerations at the base and at the roof of the SDOF system. (b) Compute the acceleration, velocity and displacement time histories of the roof of the SDOF system subjected to the recorded base acceleration using the Central Difference method. Plot the accel- eration, velocity and displacement time histories. Plot the restoring force, the damping force, and the inertia force time…
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.)
