Question

(b)
A Cylindrical well of 5 m external diameter and 3.5 m internal diameter is
embedded to a depth of 12 m below the maximum scour level in a sandy soil
deposit. The well is subjected to a horizontal force of 750 kN acting at a height of
7 m above the scour level. Determine the allowable total equivalent resisting force
due to earth pressure assuming the rotation is at the base.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, diameter of well is 3.5 m and depth is 10 m

Then radius of well =

2

3.5

=1.75 m

And height of well =10 m

Then curved surface area of well = 2πrh

=2×

7

22

×1.75×10

= 2×22×0.25×10

=110 sq. m
