A pumping well has four monitoring wells, MW1 is 20m, MW2 is 500m, MW3 is 600m, MW4 is 700m, and the pond is 950m from the pumping well. The drawdown measured at MW1 during the pumping test conducted at a rate of 0.240m3/min:

Time (min) Drawdown (m)
0.083 0.033
0.167 0.074
1.000 0.221
2.00
0.291
4.000 0.358
120.000 0.694
360.000 0.816
1080.000 0.913
1440.000 0.941

T=0.195m2/min and S=1.32x10^-4

What drawdown is expected at the four monitoring wells after 5 years of pumping at 30 L/s?

For a slab with overall dimensions of 40m x 45m, locate the columns and the beams. Choose dimensions that allow using the ACI coefficients. The slab may be solid with drop beams (1m wide representative slab strip treated as rectangular, and drop beam treated as T-section), or ribbed with hidden beams (ribs treated as T-sections and beams treated as rectangular).
Assume all columns are 50cm x 50cm.
Dead load is that of the slab, in addition to 1cm tiles, 3cm mortar, and 10cm fill. Live load is
2 0.5 t/m .
Add 0.25 t/m2 to the live load for partitions.
Use fc’ = 28 MPa fy = 420 MPa
Design the slab and the beams for flexure and shear.
Development length requirements must be followed to determine the required bar lengths.
Submit all your analysis and design calculations neatly. Use appropriate plans and sections to present your design.

  1. Two triaxial tests are performed on a clay. At failure, the results are:

Test 1: σ3 = 30 kPa, P = 0.45 kN, A = 0.01 m2, u = 10 kPa

Test 2: σ3 = 60 kPa, P = 0.70 kN, A = 0.01 m2, u = 20 kPa

  1. Find σ1, σ3, σ'1, and σ'3 at failure for both tests.
  2. Draw the effective stress Mohr's circle for both tests and draw the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope for the clay. What are f' and c' for the clay? Write the equation for the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope.
  3. Is the clay normally consolidated or over consolidated? Why?
