Hi guys,
Regarding the design of connections I have a couple of questions on the bearing resistance of a joint subjected to tension.
1) bearing resistance is a the crushing failure of bolt or plate?
2) Please see attached picture/image. If you cannot see image I will describe. You have a...
Can I ask a couple of questions in regard to the Shear strenght of a soil?
1. Whats the main difference between the Consolidated Undrained test and Unconsolidated Undrained test? Why do you get a series of cirles of the same radii for Unconsolidated undrained test with no shear angle of...
1. Ya now I understand i think so each test you perform will be relivent for a different type of loading. Say your surcharge is 400kPa. You start your test at 50kPa and load in even increments to say maybe 600kPa. But if ur surcharge was 1000kPa you might start your test at 800kPa and finish at...
Ok thank you for this it has helped me greatly, but I still have a few questions?
1. Ok I'm still a bit unsure on this. Say for example I've performed a oedometer test for a soil sample. I'm now using these results to model settlemeant from a surcharge but this falls outside my results in the...
Maybe I'm thinking too much about this but in regard to the odometer test I have a few quires:
1) If you had a surcharge in reality and the effective stress falls outside the stress range you tested your soil sample in the lab, obviously you can't use these oedometer results and must preform a...
I have been doing some research into piles and I read you can usually ignore the self weight of the pile except in the following situations:
The weight of the pile itself is generally small in relation to the applied load (i.e. Qt >> W) and is usually ignored.
May need to check this...
