Assignment No. 3 CE 332: Geotechnical Engineering 1. Calculate the vertical stress in a soil mass at a depth of 5m vertically below a point load of 5000 KN acting near the surface. Plot the variation of vertical stress with radial distance (up to 10 m) at a depth of 5 m. 2. Three point loads 10000 KN‚ 7500 KN and 9000 KN‚ act in line 5 m apart near the surface of soil mass. Calculate the vertical stress at a depth of 4 m vertically below the centre (7500 KN) load. 3. Determine the vertical

Soil mechanics is one of the new disciplines of civil engineering‚ concerning the study of soil. It gathers data and provides the theoretical base for analysis in geotechnical engineering. In earlier times‚ constructions were built based on assumptions. After some important foundation-related engineering problems‚ example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ engineers

call in a geotechnical engineer. The job of a geotechnical engineer is to inspect the soil and earth around the foundation before it is laid to see how the environment will effect it. They take samples of soil and make decisions if or how a structure can be built in that spot. These engineers also design the foundations‚ earthworks‚ and monitors every aspect of the building process. Earthworks are basically buildings or mounds created by the moving of a lot of dirt. Civil engineering is the job

FOUNDATION is the lowest supporting layer of a structure. * Purpose: Transfer the building load to the soil. * The size of the foundation is determined by the weight of the building and the load bearing capabilities of the soil. * When the load bearing capabilities of the soil is low‚ a footing is usually used. Types of Foundation 1. Shallows Foundations * Shallow foundations are those founded near to the finished ground surface; generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than
