G# = Group Number
Make a spreadsheet to designg a water cannon with the following conditions:
Lateral Force at top of post = F =1.3+0.2*G# kip
Height of post, h =30+2*G# ft
Weight of post, Wp =0.6+0.1*G# kip
Soil friction angle = f=10 deg
Soil cohesion = c =1000 psf
Overturning Safety factor =1.50
Sliding safety factor =1.50(assume the coefficient of friction = tan(f)
Soil bearing capacity: calculate using Terzhagui's Theory
Modify the soil pressure to avoid negative pressures (minimum pressure is zero)
Design the footing size and depth (Df).
Note:
Reproduce the problem done in classroom using Excel. After all is checked, input the data given.
1 spreadsheet per group:
G#-FndWaterCanon-HW3.xls
