SAMPLE PROBLEM 2 Solve for the support reactions of the beam below with the given loads using Superposition Method. NOTE: Round off values ranging from 0.99999 to -0.99999 to five decimal places. Otherwise use three decimal places 3.5m 6 kN/m B A 6 m 4.8 m ΕΙ ΕΙ REQUIRED Note: Draw the direction of the reactions across their values 3m 11.2 kN/m Value 16 KN RAY = KN Z Ray = KN Rcv = C Direction

Solve Problem 15 .17 for the loading shown in Fig. P15.17 and a settlement of 50 mm at support D. FIG. P15.17, P15.21

EB and FG are two planes inside a soil element ABCD as shown in Figure 10.50. Stress conditions on the two planes are Plane EB: EB = 25 kN/m2; EB = +10 kN/m2 Plane FG: FG = 10 kN/m2; FG = 5 kN/m2 (Note: Mohrs circle sign conventions for stresses are used above) Given ; = 25, determine: a. The maximum and minimum principal stresses b. The angle between the planes EB and FG c. The external stresses on planes AB and BC that would cause the above internal stresses on planes EB and FG

The soil profile at a site is shown Figure P16.3. Find the total horizontal normal stresses at A and B, assuming at-rest conditions.
