3.16. An automatic gate is based on a heavy semi-cylindrical valve, which controls the water height...
A 3-m diameter roller gate retains water on both sides of a dam crest as shown below. Axes (x,y) are given in the diagram to indicate the convention for positive values. The origin of your coordinate system (O) is at the base of the roller gate where it contacts the dam. Indicate direction of Forces either with an arrow, writing the direction (ie. Right/left or up/down) or +/- sign indicating what way is positive based on the axes definition given....
a) The horizontal force(s) (direction and magnitude) acting on the gate per unit width and draw the pressure distribution diagram(s) [6 marks] b) The vertical force(s) acting on the gate per unit width (Include direction and magnitude). [6 marks] c) If the gate is 5 m long (into the page), calculate the magnitude, direction and angle of the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the gate. [7 marks] d) The net horizontal force acting on the dam per unit width. Include...
A proposed residential development of a single tower is to be built on a sloping site as shown in Figure 1. The site has a (W1m x 25m wide building zone. A level platform has to be created by building a permanent retaining structure outside the building zone but within the (W2m x (W2m wide site boundary. A temporary slope, which may extend outside the site boundary, has to be formed in advance for construction of the retaining structure. ---...
