another important thing is the ground borne vibration induced by the trains over this embankment.Of course we are talking about dynamic surcharge(conventional and high speed trains).
Is there a relation or correlation between RMR and Factor of safety? or what's the best way to "build" a new design? We have 10m of wheatered rock covering a intact bedrock. So, what's is your opinion: how can i design a new slope with a good factor of safety? and which parameters should i use...
In fact, I'll check this information because 20T is approx 400kN/m2 and this live loading will moving on the slab!!! So, 35kN/m2 to slab (approx-40m x 40m)-(dead load) and 20T (two points of load and the distance between them is around 2.4m)...but do you know how any software?
How can i calcutate a live load for a 20T loading shovel? The constructor wants to use crane a and shovel over a slab in two points of load each one with 10T. This points of loading will be separate 2.4m. It will be 35kN/m2 + 20T (this 20T is live load). How can i estimate a settlement for this...
