Question Paper
1. Describe with sketches the equation of deflections for uniform straight beams on elastic foundation.
Explain the term "Damping" and give the characteristics of different types of damping.
Determine the natural frequency of a machine foundation of base area 2 m x 2 m and weight 150 kN, assuming that the soil mass participating in the vibration is 20% of the weight of foundation.
Take Cu =36,000 kN/m^3 .
3. Discuss the method for the design of a Circular Cellular Coffer dam on rock.
4. Describe the various classifications of bulkhead and their uses.
Describe the factors affecting the ultimate bearing capacity of soils.
A column carries a load of 1000 kN. The soil is a dry sand weighing 19 kN/m^3 and having an angle of internal friction of 40°. A minimum factor of safety of 2·5 is required and Terzaghi factors are required to be used. y =42 and Nq
Find the size of a square footing, if placed at the ground surface; and,
Find the size of a square footing required, if it is placed at 1 m below ground surface with water table at ground surface.
Assume Y sat =21 kN/m^3.
6. What is Modulus of Subgrade Reaction? Explain modulus of subgrade reaction mentioning Winkler's model. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Winkler's model?
What is 'contact pressure' How does it depend on the type of structure and soil
What is 'active zone' in soil Explain it with reference to the pressure bulb concept.
What are the aspects for the construction of foundations for off-shore structures
Describe the general principles of design of a shell foundation.
