Problem IV (25%) KN force is uniformly distributed over a rectangular footing of size 3x2m shown ...
A load of 1863 kN is carried on a 1.5 by 2 m rectangular foundation at a shallow depth in a soil mass. Determine the vertical stress at the centre of the footing 4 m below the footing underside assuming: (a) the load is uniformly distributed over the pad and, (b) the load acts as a point load at the centre of the foundation.
3. A building with a rectangular footing is constructed as the following figure. The design building load to the footing is 13800 kN. Find the distributed stress (Ao) and final effective stress (o'vf) due to the rectangular footing at the following locations: a. at the interception point of the footing corner and mid-point of the clay layer b. at the intersection point of the footing center and mid-point of the clay layer You need to use the superposition approach c....

(a) the reaction at supports A and B, (b) sketch the shear diagram and the moment diagram, (c) determine the location of neutral axis of the cross section and calculate its area moment of inertia about the neutral axis, and (d) determine absolute maximum bending stress and (e) absolute maximum transverse shear stress.
The rectangular plate shown in the figure below has the given loads uniformly distributed over the edges. The plate is 50 mm thick, AB is 500 mm and BC is 400 mm (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Determine the shear forces which must operate on the edges BC and DA to maintain the equilibrium of the plate Relative to the x,y reference axes, determine the state of stress at any point P in the interior of the plate For the...
x Incorrect Two beams support a uniformly distributed load of w = 28 kN/m, as shown. Beam (1) is supported by a fixed support at A and by a simply supported beam (2) at D. In the unloaded condition, beam (1) touches, but exerts no force on, beam (2). Beam (1) has a depth of 300 mm, a moment of inertia of 11 = 125 x 106 mm, a length of L = 3.4 m, and an elastic modulus of...
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
