Dam hydrology
A layer of sand is being supported by a retaining wall as shown in Figure Q.B1. The upper 4m of the sand is saturated with oil while the lower 6m is saturated with saltwater.
What is the horizontal load applied by the soil to the wall (per meter length of wall), and what bending moment does this induce in the wall at the bedrock level, marked 'A' in Figure Q.B1?

Question 4 A uniform beam of arbitrary, unsymmetrical cross-section and length 21 is built-in at one end and simply supported in the vertical direction at a point half-way along its length. This support, however, allows the beam to deflect freely in the horizontal x direction (Figure Q4) For a vertical load W applied at the free end of the beam, calculate and draw the bending moment diagram, putting in the principal values.

Problem 5 You are to examine the retaining wall shown on Figure 2. Assume that the wall height (H) is equal to 12 feet, and the base width (B) is 7 feet. The wall will be approximately 200 feet long (into the page). The backfill material behind the wall is a poorly-graded sand with silt (ŚP-SM) that has an average total unit weight of 1 19 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and an average water content of 12%. As indicated,...
, calculate the required length and width of a PSC pile to support the allowable load.
You are designing the foundation for a natural gas import terminal. The subsurface is
predominantly alluvial clays in the upper 6 – 15 m below the ground surface (BGS), which
has resulted in large post construction settlements on nearby structures. To prevent large
settlements and differential settlements, the new gas tanks will be supported by pile
foundations. You have determined that pre-stressed concrete (PSC) piles are the most
economical solution. The pile layout will be a square with center-to-center spacing...
