if you have goswami's book, do you know where he is getting 10 psi from. Is it supposed to be 12 psi?

perhaps it would be a multi part question, if they have those.

I am getting stuck on the example 2.5 (age 19) of the reza mallhati book. I understand up until the equation of original ground from P to CP = y = mx +b. I don't understand how one arises to the equation Yp = 868 + .1(3) = 868.3 feet. I don't understand where does the 3 come from. and how do...

bump

given this probelm, isnt there also pore pressure on the 6 ft of saturated soil coz there is water present? maybe i am not reading the problem correcty.. have I drawn the chart below correctly? ___________________ 125 unit weight _________V________4 ft (groundwater) 130 unit weight...

A moist soil consists of 10 ft of sand resting on bedrock, with the groundwater table 4 ft below the surface. The unit weight of the saturated soil is 130 lbf/ft3, and the moist soil has a unit weight of 125 lbf/ft3. The earth pressure coefficient for both the saturated and moist soil is 0.40...

got it. nevermind. there was an error

Please help me solve the problem below. The solution that I have does not make sense to me. Laboratory tests on a soil sample generated the following results: Sieve # % Passing #4 90 #10 81 # 20 70 #40 60 #100 30 #200 10 Liquid Limit 26...

Goswami's book on page 297 has Figure 203.1, how are you supposed to read that figure and get answer to example 203.1 as clay-silt? I figure out the midle steps but how are you supposd to read the triange. Any help is appreciated. Thx

Thanks so much, but layout problems have 2 rules, so Rule No. 1 is Tape too long, subtract the correction Rule No. 2, Tape too short, add the correction since the tape is 100.05, which is tape too long, don't you subtract the correction?? So confusing.

Thanks for the help guys.. I thought about this a lot.. It seems like CERM chapter 67 had some key things about masonry. I am an environmental engineering with 0 background in most of the topics for Civil PE. so i apologize if this is too easy for u guys. lol. but its totally not for me. ok...

I was wondering if someone can help me understand why in example 2.2 in Reza's book, the temperature correction is being added, even though, when you compute the error due to temperature you get a (-).0709 feet as answer, so then why is it being added into the answer rather than subtracting.

http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/row/landsurveys/L...orkbookTOC.html has tons of material. although it's geared for the LSIT, it's the same stuff. It has videos and all, it's great.

That's what I am trying to find out, whether the CERM or the practice problem book have these type of problems. I am not sure in a typical problem what would be provided, what assumptions would need to be made and how to arrive at an answer.

http://www.tpub.com/content/construction/1...s/14045_145.htm where can i find more examples like the one here, i googled it and found this.

I looked through my material and its not clear where these problems are, i know there are tons of examples in materials for cut and fill but not any other types of quantiies, any idea where the Concrete Masonry Unit problems might be.

I was wondering if someone can help me with where I can find problems asking for the number of concrete masonry units (CMU) needed given dimensions, etc?

I am studying for the AM portion of the PE exam, an I can't find where in the CERM are quanity take off methods?? what is that anyways? please let me know where is this material in the CERM?

I am having trouble with Hiner Problem # 13. Basically trying to figure out where are these sections in the ASCE and IBC books.. Where are the equations that are shown in the solution for the force per rafter Rt ?? I can't seem to find them for either the Strength design or stress design...

i guess my problem is reading hte figures that are provided. I don't have any experience in siemsic or structures, so I guess it might be a stupid question. hahah. But for B and C , how do you finding out that there are 1 bay for B and 2 for C.
