- In excavation for a wall footing, the water table level was lowered from a depth of 1.0 m to a depth of 3.0 m in a clayey soil deposit. Considering that the soil has a water content of 28% when it is fully saturated, and above the water table the (dry) unit weight of the soil is 17 kN/m³. Assuming initially that all of the soil above the water table is dry, then compute the following: 1. The effective stress at a depth of 4.0 m after the lowering of the water table. Take Gs = 2.68. (Hints: w*Gs=Sr*e) 2. The increase in effective stress at a depth of 5 m. (You also need to plot the values of total vertical stress and effective vertical stress against depth before and after lowering the water table.)arrow_forwardCalculate the collapse load (P) for the two fixed ended beam shown below.

(a) Draw the Mohr circle that describes the 2D stress state at the point. (b) Find the maximum shear stress that acts at the point and its orientation angle from the horizontal plane. (c) Find the principal stress (σ₁ and σ3) that acts at the point and locate the major principal stress plane and its orientation angle from the horizontal plane (Use the pole method). (d) Determine both the normal and shear stress at a plane that orientates from the major principal stress plane with an angle of 30° (counterclockwise direction) and verify your results with the stress transformation equations.arrow_forward

- 8.20 Two routes connect a suburban area and a city, with route travel times (in minutes) given by the expressions t₁ = 6 + 8(x₁/c₁) and t₂ = 10 + 3(x2/c2), where the x's are expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the c's are the route capacities in thousands of vehicles per hour. Initially, the capacities of routes 1 and 2 are 4000 and 2000 veh/h, respectively. A reconstruction project on route 1 reduces the capacity to 3000 veh/h, but total traffic demand is unaffected. Observational studies note a 35.28-second increase in average travel time on route 1 and a 68.5% increase in flow on route 2 after reconstruction begins. User-equilibrium conditions exist before and during reconstruction. If both routes are always used, determine equilibrium flows and travel times before and after reconstruction begins.arrow_forward8.19 Three routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions t₁ = 8+ 0.5x1, t2 = 1 + 2x2, and t3 = 3 + 0.75x3, with the x's expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the 's expressed in minutes. If the peak-hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user-equilibrium traffic flows.arrow_forward8.8 onlyarrow_forward
