for geotechnical engineering 1 3 (a) With neat sketches explain how the method of slices can be used to determine the factor of safety of an embankment when subjected to ‘end of construction condition. (b) The stability analysis performed using the 'method of slices', on an embankment of 12 m high gave the following results: Total normal force = 2000 kN (ii) Total shearing force 500 kN Total neutral force = 300 kN (iv) Length of the arc = 23...

Physical Units Method, Relative Sales-Value-at-Split-off Method, Net Realizable Value Method, Decision Making Sonimad Sawmill, Inc. (SSI), purchases logs from independent timber contractors and processes them into the following three types of lumber products: Studs for residential construction (e.g., walls and ceilings) Decorative pieces (e.g., fireplace mantels and beams for cathedral ceilings) Posts used as support braces (e.g., mine support braces and braces for exterior fences around ranch properties) These products are the result of a joint sawmill process that involves...
A wood beam (1) is reinforced on its lower surface by a steel plate (2) as shown in the figure. Dimensions of the cross section are b 1 = 220 mm , d = 385 mm , b 2 = 190 mm , and t = 25 mm . The elastic moduli of the wood and steel are E 1 = 12.5 GPa and E 2 = 200 GPa , respectively. The allowable bending stresses of the wood and steel...
