    Once the flow rate of the river is determined we can begin hydraulic analysis on the bridge. The cross sectional area of the river and the soffit level are other factors required when working out the hydraulic analysis. The soffit is the under surface of the bridge superstructure, it has to be a required height in relation with the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) NSW. In a 100 year event there has to be an allowance of 300mm gap from the top of the water level to the lowest part of the bridge deck. The hydraulic analysis will look at the forces on the bridge piers as a result of debris crashing into them and the forces of the water. The foundations of the piers will also be investigated for local scouring. The bridge will be designed in relation to the Australian Standards and the…

    Long Lab Report Physic

    Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to examine kinetic friction and the factors that affect it. The two factors that are examined within this experiment are the surface area of the object and the type of surfaces in contact with one another. Both of these will be tested and compared to see which affects the value of kinetic friction Friction is a force that always opposes the motion of an object. Friction can be divided into two different types. One is called static, and one is called kinetic. Static friction is a force between two objects that are not moving relative to one another. For example, an object resting on a slope, but not sliding down the slope, is kept in its position by static friction. Static friction must be overcome to cause an object to move across a surface. Once enough force has been applied to an object, it will begin to slide across a surface and kinetic friction will then act on the object. Kinetic friction occurs when two objects are moving relative to one another with one object sliding across the surface of the other and it opposes the motion of the object. Both types of friction are described by different coefficients. These values are known as the coefficients of static and kinetic friction respectively. The coefficient of static friction is usually higher than that of kinetic friction. A small wooden block…

    Shoring Violations

    deep, thus according to the table 7.2 for unstable soil, the choice is either 4’ or 2’ for the uprights horizontal spacing (uprights may be a solid “sheeting” or spaced from 2’ to 8’ apart to prevent cave-ins), as well as cross braces is either 4’ or 2’ for screw jacks of 2” STD or timbers of (6” x 6”) to hold either horizontal or vertical shoring members in place. Refer to the side table 7.1 and assume the width between (6”-8”) for house line, since it was not reported in the result investigation. However, the minimum number of the horizontal cross braces, either screw jacks or timbers, required for each pair of uprights shall be determined by the number of 4-foot zones or segment into which the depth of the trench may be divided, yet in no case shall be less than two cross braces or jacks. Further, pre planning will reduce the chance of an accident and protect people nearby work site and maintenance operator from falling into the excavation, and it will protect them from possible exposure of atmospheric hazards in the excavation as well (such as leaking gas lines or storage tanks) and define how maintenance operator will get in and out of the excavation safely. An excavation with a depth of 4 ft. or more must have a means for entering and exiting such as a stairway, ladder, or ramp that has a non-slip surfaces employees’ safety may depend on how…

    Water Tank Lab

    The first lab we did was overall fascinating. Each station had something different to offer and revealed results that I would not have guessed. The exercise that profoundly stuck out to me the most was the “water tank,” lab. The procedure of the lab was to shoot a red laser beam into the tank of water from three different directions. I first shot the laser from above the water surface, then from below, and finally from the side of the tank. Interestingly enough, each direction, the laser would bend in the water. The fascinating part of this lab was the idea as to why the laser could not exit the water tank, and instead would bend equally in each direction. Our group spent the majority of the lab time focused on this water tank and the possible reasons as to why the red laser would bend. The…

    Cantilever Sheetpile

    The design of sheet pile retaining walls requires several successive operations: (a) Evaluation of the forces and lateral pressures that act on the wall, (b) determination of the required depth of piling penetration, (c) computation of the maximum bending moments in the piling, (d) computation of the stresses in the wall and selection of the appropriate piling section and (e) the design of the walling and anchorage system. Before these operations can be initiated, however, certain preliminary information must be obtained. In particular, the controlling dimensions must be set. These include the elevation of the top of the wall, the elevation of the ground surface in front of the wall (commonly called the dredge line), the maximum water level, the mean tide level or normal pool elevation and the low water level. A topographical survey of the area is also helpful. Earth pressure theories have developed to the point where it is possible to obtain reliable estimates of the forces on sheet pile walls exerted by homogeneous layers of soil with known physical constants. The uncertainties involved in the design of sheet pile structures no longer result from an inadequate knowledge of the fundamentals involved. They are caused by the fact that the structure of natural soil deposits is usually quite complex, whereas the theories of bulkhead design inevitably presuppose homogeneous…
