group action in piles
group action in piles
(OP)
I was solving a question for PE preparation about piles. it calculates the perimeter of each pile and the the perimeter of a two pile group and since the preimeter of group is bigger, it says no group action reduction is needed.
so does it mean the group action means a reduction with respect to sum of individual capacities, and only if the perimeter of group is bigger than sum of individual perimeters there is no reduction? so in other words, at best, you can get the sum of each pile with group action and it can not be more than the sum of individual piles?

RE: group action in piles
In going for PE exam as you apparently are now trying, I wonder if maybe you should have had a good course in soil mechanics first. Questions like this make it appear you never took such a course.
