A flat site is being considered for a new school that will have a steel frame and brick façade. The steel columns will have a ma

ximum load of 250 kips, and the planned column support will consist of a 6 foot by 6 foot square footing placed 2 feet below the ground surface (to the bottom of the footing). Subsurface conditions consist of a 15-foot-thick layer of uniform silty sand (unit weight = 122 pcf, soil modulus = 160,000 psf) over stiff clay (unit weight = 118 pcf, soil modulus = 230,000 psf). Groundwater is deep.
a) Sketch the problem (freehand, not to scale) and state any necessary assumptions.

Water flows with an average speed of 6.5 ft/s in a rectangular channel having a width of 5 ft The depth of the water is 2 ft.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

specific energy  = 2.65 ft

y2 = 1.48 ft  

Explanation:

given data

average speed v = 6.5 ft/s

width = 5 ft

depth of the water y = 2 ft

solution

we get here specific energy that is express as

specific energy = y + \frac{v^2}{2g}     ...............1

put here value and we get

specific energy = 2 + \frac{6.5^2}{2\times 9.8\times 3.281}  

specific energy  = 2.65 ft

and

alternate depth is

y2 = \frac{y1}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8Fr^2})  

and

here Fr² = \frac{v1}{\sqrt{gy}}  = \frac{6.5}{\sqrt{32.8\times 2}}  

Fr² = 0.8025

put here value and we get

y2 = \frac{2}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8\times 0.8025^2})

y2 = 1.48 ft

A rectangular channel 3.0 m wide has a flow rate of 5.0 m3/s with a normal depth of 0.50 m. The flow then encounters a dam that
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The hydraulic will jump since the flow is subcritical ( i.e. Y2 > Yc )

Explanation:

width of channel = 3.0 m

Flow rate = 5 m^3/s

Normal depth = 0.50 m

Flow encounters a dam rise of 0.25 m

To know if the hydraulic jump will occur

we will Determine the new normal depth

Y2 = 3.77m

Yc ( critical depth )= 0.66m

Attached below is the detailed solution
