A bailey bridge

A bailey bridge A Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. It was developed in 1940–1941 by the British for military use during the Second World War and saw extensive use by British, Canadian and American military engineering units. A Bailey bridge has the advantages of requiring no special tools or heavy equipment to assemble. The wood and steel bridge elements were small and light enough to be carried in trucks and lifted into place by hand, without the use of a crane. The bridges were strong enough to carry tanks. Bailey bridges continue to be used extensively in civil engineering construction projects and to provide temporary crossings for pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Source wikipidea

Bearing Capacity Equation for Square, Rectangular, and Circular Foundations

Image
Bearing Capacity Equation for Square, Rectangular, and Circular Foundations - General Shear Failure Terzaghi (1943) developed a rational bearing capacity equation for strip footing, by assuming the bearing capacity failure of the foundation in general shear mode.  Terzaghi's bearing equation is  given by: qu = CNc + γ1DfNq + 0.5Bγ2Nγ qu= Ultimate Bearing Capacity of the soil C= Cohesion γ1,γ2= Unit weight of the soil above and below the footing level  Nc,Nq,Nγ= Bearing capacity factors that are a function of friction angle Df= Depth of the foundation below the ground level  B = Width or diameter of the footing L= length of the footing Fig:-  Square, Rectangular, and Circular Strip Footings Bearing Capacity Equation for Square, Rectangular, and Circular Foundations - General Shear Failure Terzaghi modified the above bearing capacity equation by introducing shape factors for different shapes of the foundation. Then for  1. Square Foundations qu = ...
