A Trained person B Site supervisor C Competent person D anyone in the site with engineering degree 38 Find the zone of influence for the following excavation where there is no soldier piles. Neglect the brick made counterforts. The tricky part is the height of the level does not effect on the elevation measurements, so there is no relation between the heights of level for different readings.

ASCE , 4. Elastic setlemnt expected which is not the question, however it is usually less than consulidation. For each layer, we need to calculate the unit weight. Therefore, we need to calculate voids ratio of each layer first. Use the appropriate equation. According to The resistance factors table a factor of 0. If it does then the maximum spacing will be used in place of the required spacing. The area of the shear reinforcing steel Av will be 2 times the area of a 3 bar since shear reinforcement passes through the cross section twice.

It is inclined. Bending crack is vertical and shear-flexure cracks have the inclined to vertical pattern. Equations for moment for beams can be found in AISC table First determine the effective length of the column and the radius of gyration for our member.

Find the appropriate radius of gyration. Calculate the slenderness ratio as a function of the effective length and the radius of gyration using appropriate equation. If we interpolate between a slenderness ratio of 94 and 95 on this table we can approximate the available critical stress to be The channel direction is perpendicular to a road where twin, side-by- side in-diameter corrugated metal pipe CMP culverts take the water under the roadway. Let point 1 be upstream of the contraction, and point 2 downstream.

This is not a beam, so there is not a bending moment. This is a truss with axial forces. Because the soil has a medium toughness and a very slow dilatancy, it contains more clay than silt. Therefore, 2. In general this is a truss and technically there is not bending moment in whole structure. But the members may get the flexure if the forces are not applied on the joints. In this case, there is uniform force on the 2 members of the truss. So each member individually will have bending moment.

If all reactions of a structure passes through one point then we cannot write the equation of equilibrium and we will lose one equation. So, this is the instable structure: Then before any actions occures in this structure the structure will fail and thus there is no bending moment in this structure. That being known answers C and D are eliminated. To determine the relative compaction we must determine the dry unit weight of the fill sample. Then we can compare it to the maximum dry unit weight.

Thus the distribution of bending moment in both direction needs reinforcement for negative and positive bending moment in both directions. A Trained person B Site supervisor C Competent person D anyone in the site with engineering degree The Answers is A The competent person is not necessarily have sufficient knowledge about the nailing.

For all excavations a trained person should be the first who enter. An envelope starting at a point two feet below the lowest point of Public structure continuing upwards at a forty five 45 degree angle from the horizontal, up to the horizontal projection of the outside limits of the adjacent underground structure or excavation, projected at grade level. And the horizontal line shows the reference point for it. The number on stake shows the required cut below the horizontal line.

So, the final elevation will be equal to 1. How much does labor cost for this project? Most nearly, how much will it cost to reduce the project completion time by four days?
