A 300 kN point load is applied to a soil profile that consists of 7 meters of sand (γt = 19 kN/m3) above 4 meters of clay (γt = 17.5kN/m3) with the groundwater table at a depth of 5 meters. The clay has an OCR = 1.6, an initial void ratio of 0.86, a Cc=0.64 and a Cr=0.12. The sand has a Cc = 0.35 and an initial void ratio of 0.68. Calculate the overall settlement of the profile due to the application of the point load.

Q1 / An axial load of 75 kN was applied to a steel rod
of 3 m in length and 0.025 m in diameter. Calculate the change in
length (∆L), Poisson’s ratio, percent elongation and percent
reduction in
area. Take change in diameter (∆d) = 5.73 x10 mm and E = 200 kN /
mm .

A long footing supports a wall carrying a load of 260
kN per m. The soil at the
site is saturated clay having a undrained shear strength of 117
kPa. The unit
weight of the clay is 22 kN/m³ and it is suspected that
occasionally the water
table rises to the ground surface. What width in m (1 dp) of
footing should be
used if a minimum factor of safety of 2.4 is required? The footing
depth is 1.2 m

A roller bearing has a 22 kN radial load applied. For a life of
18000 hours at 1200 rev/min, specify the smallest suitable roller
bearing to use. Assume a rotating outer ring and provide relevant
source information for your selected bearing.

Problem No. 1 The soil profile at a site consists of a
top 4 m layer of dense sand followed by 2 m of clay, which is
underlain by a stiff stratum. The water table is at 2 m below the
ground level. The follow- ing data was obtained from a
consolidation test on an undisturbed sample obtained from the
middle of the clay layer: water content 36%, specific gravity of
the clay grains = 2.72, compression index = 0.72,...

The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick,
sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density
of 1.9 Mg/m3 and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick
clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m3 and a saturated
water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of
1.9 Mg/m3 and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The
water table...
