Question Paper

1. Derive the equation for the deflection for a semi-infinite beam with single concentrated load on Winkler's model foundation.

Describe the characteristics of various types of dynamic loading on soil machine foundation and the general criteria for design of machine foundation.

Describe different types of machines and their foundations. Give sketches wherever possible.

3. Determine the natural frequency of a machine foundation which has a base area of 2.2 m x 2.2 m and the weight of 200 kN including the weight of machine. Take coefficient of elastic uniform compression as 4.4 x 10^4 kN/m^3 (use Barken's method).

4. What is a coffer dam What is its purpose? Explain with sketches different types of coffer dams.

5. An anchored sheet-pile wall is to support amass of cohesionless soil, up to a height of 5 m above the ground level with the horizontal surface. The anchor ties are 1 m below the top at a horizontal spacing of 1 m. Consider density of soil=20 kN/m^3 and III =300 Find the minimum depth of anchor for the pile.

6. What is shell foundation Write the different types of shell foundations. What are the forces acting on shell foundations Explain with diagrams.

7. Write short notes on any two of the following:

Braced Coffer Dams

Degree of Freedom with Damping

Foundation for Offshore Structures
