A concrete hollow box culvert is shown in Figure P14.12. A basement for a building is required near the culvert. One proposal is to construct a sheet pile wall to surround the excavation, as shown in Figure P14.12, and pump out the water in the excavation. The lowest ground water level profile is as shown in Figure P14.12. The equivalent hydraulic conductivity of the soil is 2 × 10-4 cm/s.
(a) Draw the flow net.
(b) Determine the uplift pressure on the box culvert.
(c) Will the culvert be safe against uplift? Assume the frictional resistance per unit length on each side wall
(d) Determine if piping would occur. (Hint: You can calculate the void ratio from the given unit weight.)
A biodegradable industrial wastewater (paper production) has a COD of 600 mg/ L. If the BOD progression follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.10 per day, determine the BOD5
Calculate the dry unit weight, the saturated unit weight and the buoyant unit weight of a soil having a void ratio of 0.70 and a value of Gs of 2.72. Calculate also the unit weight and water content at a degree of saturation of 75%.
A relatively unfit worker with resting heart rate of 80 beats/min starts his job of palletizing boxes. At the morning break, an industrial engineer quickly measures the worker’s
The velocity out of the tube may be approximated by V = √(2(p-patm)/ρ), where p is the absolute tank pressure. Determine the time at which the pressure (gage) in the tank is 20 kPa if the initial pressure is 40 kPa (gage)
Let m be the total length of dislocations per unit area of a grain boundary. Assume that at yield, all the dislocations in the grain interiors (?) are the ones emitted by the boundaries. Assume also that the grains are spherical (with diameterD). ..
The shovel's production at a 100% efficiency is estimated to be 300 BCY/h. and efficiency is 0.80. Truck travel time is estimated to be 8.0 minutes, and truck fixed cycle time (excluding loading ) is estimated to be 2 minutes.
The river characteristics just upstream of the wastewater discharge are: flow = 7.5 m3/s, BOD = 5.5 mg/L, DO = 90% of saturation, and temperature = 25oC. For this water, kd = 0.18 d-1 and kr = 0.22 d-1.
A 0.25 in diameter copper rod BC is securely attached between two identical 1 in diameter steel rods (AB and CD). Find the load P if the total elongation of the system is measured to be 0.0312 in. Esteel= 29,000ksi, Ecopper=17,000ksi.
