CM $3503$ Module $4$ Assignment

Instructions

Using the diagram and table below, determine total stress $(),$ pore water pressure $(),$

effective stress $({}^{\text{'}}),$ and shear strength $((5)$ at points A$,$ B$,$ C$,$ D$,$ and E$.$ Note: Drawing is

Assuming the cell tower weighs $250,000||$ bs$,$ calculate the maximum vertical stress

increase at location A under the building corner due to the weight of the cell

tower. Note: Drawing is NOT to scale.

Determine $I_3$ and then determine the stress increase at Points A and $B$ due to the

embankment. Note: Drawing is NOT to scale.

Assuming the load exerted $($P$)$ by the foundation is $750,000lbs.,$ determine $I_s,q,$ and the

increase in vertical stress at a depth of $10$ feet below points A and $B.$ Note: Drawing is

NOT to scale.
