A silty sand sample failed during a consolidated-undrained triaxial test at F1=280 kPa andF3=170 kPa. With the assumption that c=0 and A=0.65, determine the consolidated-undrainedfriction angle Ncu and a drained friction angle N. If a consolidated-undrained test on such a soil isconducted at a confining pressure F3 =340 kPa, what will be major total and effective stresses andthe pore water pressure at failure? What will be the maximum shear stress J during a "slow" directshear test, if the vertical stress Fv=160 kPa?
Check the adequacy of a 15ft long A992 W12x65 beam-column shown in figure (1). The axial loads
and end moments have been obtained from 2nd order analysis of the gravity loads. The frame and
loading are symmetric. Assume that (Cb) is 1.06.

The control linkage for a machine consists of two L2 steel rods BE and FG, each with a diameter of 1 in. If a device at G causes the end G to freeze up and become pin connected, determine the maximum horizontal force P that could be applied to the handle without causing either of the two rods to buckle.

The soil is homogeneous with shear strength parameters c = 400 psf and φ = 290 . The moist unit weight of the soil is 119 pcf above the groundwater table and the saturated unit weight is 123 pcf below. Using the ordinary method of slices, compute the Factor of Safety (FS) along the trial failure surface shown. (Hint: Please note the unit weight is changing within the same slice.) Note 1: Use the same number of slices and dimensions as provided. Document ALL the calculations of weight (W) for each slice. Note 2: Document your solutions by following the same approach illustrated in the class, including a summary table showing all the variables and calculations involved in assessing FS.arrow_forwardhow to manually plotting by coordinatesarrow_forward
