  1. The weight of the kentledge exerts an axial force of P = 1750 kN on the 300-mm diameter high-strength concrete bore pile. If the distribution of the resisting skin friction developed from the interaction between the soil and the surface of the pile is approximated as shown, determine the resisting bearing force F for equilibrium. Take po = 188 kN/m. Also, find the corresponding elastic shortening of the pile. Neglect the weight of the pile. E = 29 GPa (20%)

  1. The composite shaft shown in the Figure (5) is manufactured by shrink-fitting a steel sleeve over a brass core so that the two parts act as a single solid bar in torsion. The outer diameters of the two parts are d 1 = 35 mm for the brass core and d 2 = 50 mm for the steel sleeve. The shear moduli of elasticity are Gb = 36 GPa for the brass and Gs = 80 GPa for the steel. (a) Assuming that the allowable shear stresses in the brass and steel are ฯ„b = 31 MPa and ฯ„s = 52 MPa , respectively, determine the maximum permissible torque Tmax that may be applied to the shaft. (10%) (b) If the applied torque T = 1150 Nโˆ™m , find the required diameter d 2 so that allowable shear stress s is reached in the steel. (10%)
