Question

Transcribed Image Text:4. Figure I shows the cross section of a proposed excavation in a layered soil profile. Walls of the cut need to be supported using a bracing system as shown below. Soil properties and location of groundwater surface on either side of excavation are indicated on figure. The support at the base of wall exerts no moment on the wall (i.e., hinge connection). Assume pin connection between bracing and the wall. Assuming the wall used to support the cut is smooth and can yield sufficiently, determine the load that the bracing system has to be designed for. 200 psf surcharge Proposed Excavation Fine Sand O'= 30° y=1 10 pcf Bracing system Coarse Sand O'- 35° Y Ys 120 pef Figure 1 -10 ft -10 ft -10 ft-
