Design a hydrocooling unit that can cool fruits and vegetables from 30 to 5°C at a rate of 20,000 kg/h under the following conditions: The unit will be of flood….
Determine the foundation’s embedment depth, dimensions, and use the actual dimensions that are generally accepted in field construction to determine the allowable bearing capacity.
Bearing capacity problem with inclined load. A continuous footing is designed to support a bearing wall with a load of 300 kN∕m. The load on the wall footing is inclined with respect to the vertical direction at 15°. The groundwater table is 10 m below the ground surface. The subsoil is silty sand with effective cohesion of 15 kN∕m² and effective internal friction angle of 35°. The bulk unit weight above the groundwater table is 17.5 kN∕m³; the saturated unit weight below the groundwater table is 18.5 kN∕m³. Use FS = 3.0. Determine the foundation’s embedment depth, dimensions, and use the actual dimensions that are generally accepted in field construction to determine the allowable bearing capacity.
