Thanks Everyone. NAVFAC DM7 has the answer. I Also found an equation for Rankines passive earth pressure for sloped back fill. It seem as though it is just calculating the weight of the wedge though.
I am looking to design a road plate to carry a point load right smack in the middle of it. The Road plate would be supported on all 4 sides, however i feel that assuming that the plate is only supported on two sides and would only be bending in one direction is very conservative. Does Anyone...
I think I have found the graph you are talking about (not certain if i can name exact pages on here). However, the graph I found does not help if the berm steps out a couple of feet from the wall before it starts to slope. The graph i found gives Kp values using culombs method. was that the one...
Hello all.
Does anyone have a good reference, can send me to a thread, or can explain to me how to to determine the passive resistance of a sloped berm? Thank you.
How would you analyze a pin to pipe connection, where the pin is perpendicular to the plane of the pipe. The pin is connecting to a shackle, which will be pulled perpendicular to the plane of the pipe and the pin. The design is not a simple shear plate connection.
