Problem 6.
Develop a spreadsheet to solve this problem. The tank below was built at
the ground surface and imparts some load to the ground. The load depends
on the height of the water within the tank. Given the information below,
determine the maximum height of water that can be put in the tank if the
effective stress beneath the middle of the tank at a depth of 6 ft below the
ground surface cannot exceed 1300 psf.
Tank weight empty (not shown)=100,000lbs(50 tons)
Water table a the ground surface
Moist unit weight of clay subsurface pcf soil -M=105pcf
Radius of the tank =7.5ft
For this problem show/report the following:
a - include two pictures of your spreadsheet, one with the formatting as
you see it and one with the formulas showing
b - report the maximum height of water that can be put in the tank
