why a floating floor
is not a rubberized compound block system an option
just guessing as there is little detail
but I appreciate some designs cannot take these
assuming you need vibration dampened forms

I expect it is a true rotational failure
and therefore complete and based on a simple complex of shear plane in a basal system, rather than a lot of interactive system failures, or a false rotation which may be actually a cause from anoterh source
sorry running out of web load time but that is...
you could treat the slugs as shearing solids, plastic and the rotation as a integral mass shearing through the fluid of high viscous state and the fluid as a low viscose material and then resolve the interface as a thixotropic from plastic material, then add information re: displacement. I too...
Pipeline anchored above ground will flex according to the suspension characteristics (bridge design) and the fluctuations set up in the fluid due to the quake shock, plus compression along the line and shear from the distortion, this would happen tosome extent to pipe in the ground, plus the...
as noted cable stretches mostly by the twine turning if at all able or the fibres pulling inward and everything else corrodes
can you not envisage a pile build with a spread base so the piles are held by base expansion core and concrete pumped i.e. a wider base than the bore insert and as far...
Shear is expected to be extended back from visible to deep in the system and will weaken the existing reinforcing bind to the concrete even if repair or partial replacement could be envisaged
you might save the trouble and time by looking for a suitable solution of structural replacement rather...
Yes it cracks
lack of fibrous strength as in steel which melts, burns, distorts
crystal expansion
may stay for some time if the burn is off the pillar
but high heat is going to cause an expansion force at some junction at the very least

6" fine sand on 3 feet of sandy loam and clay gravel
Eight feet high water pond would require some foundation, not a sand pit, before it is anchored, even without the earth tremors

Lateral shear stress imposed from the subsidence determines your mesh strength parameters according to their anchored lock by the granular mass utilized, which is related to the punch shear force as it would cause a drawdown, but of course relieve the problem as you crane sinks into the mire at...
60 feet is a river
a creek is limited unless at an estuary
so if this is an estuary you need a bridge engineer and a stack of piled foundations for soft soils affected by river water inflow and subisdence
lateral stress on foundations is high and the sides may displace and the surface rise
if a...
You do not know there will be no cantilever until it occurs, which is why most designs allow extra material strength, it is also a little difficult to test all plate materials to standard so assumptions have to be made that some might contain slight shear and crystal problems.

Much will depend on you foundation as to dead load from steel, or concrete mass emplacements and then concrete has standards to meet for shear and can be subject to solution as well as fire damage
so I would have thought with 5 stories you had best go to the dead load first and ensure the...
Part Deux This is a mix of hydrology hydraulics and the best pumping books can be tracked from the reference lists but each hydraulics has some on pump designs One of the better sources of information might be Somerset River Authority and then NRA,EA Bridgwater as they have a range of pump flow...
There is a man in the University of Calgary, Canada area who runs a consultancy on mechanical engineering for oil pipelines and teaches some of the terrifying mathematics hydraulics produces who is Cambridge grad and we met in Oct 2003, but I do not know his name, his wife is an archaeologist if...
I recommend you use hydrology and hydraulics textbooks with soils and geology thus you end up in

Chadwicke and Morfett Hydraulics Civil Engineers have a good section on pumps as do the standard civil engineering structures textbooks

PS:
the adherence of slurry and its dry, dewatered state will of course reduce the cross section and sections may drop into the flow as blocks forming a very definitely non-Newtonian state !! at a later date. This is a mass transport problem with chemical and soil mechanics factors and a look...
You may also have to consider boundary problems where the highly viscous, yet particulate state can cause a layer to adhere in the low velocity, low energy zone along the pipe, or channel (G.Tchobanoglous: Wastewater Engineering Transport Metcalfe and Eddy)

The only manner in which force exerted on a conduit may be greater is that caused by a contraction in the flow cross section, or a deflection imposed by an intrusion, or on a bend, that is well covered in your statement and by your answers, this can cause localized stress but the possibility of...
