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.)
Using a total station, carry out a traverse survey of the points indicated, apply corrections and compute co-ordinates of the stations. Describe the steps undertaken to complete.
A 16-ft [4.88 m] span beam is fixed at one end and simply supported at the other end. A single concentrated load of 9600 lb [42.7 kN] is placed at the center of the span.
Write a computer program that for a given state of plane stress and a given yield strength of a ductile material, can be used to determine whether the material will yield.
Estimate the amount of Ca(OH)2(s) leached from concrete during a one-year period by precipitation. Assume that the area receives 40 in/yr of precipitation which is in equilibrium with PCO2= 10^-3.5 atm and [SO42-] = 10^-4 M.
A previously calibrated rotometer is being used to measure a gas flow. The old calibration curve is a straight line described by the following equation:
