In a cubical steel bar, normal strain in x, y and z directions are 340 × 10^-6, 110 × 10^-6 and -200 × 10^-6 respectively. what will be the corresponding normal stress in y direction? (G= 8 × 10⁴ N/mm², μ = 0.25)

Consider a partially saturated soil sample in which  units, u_a= 7 units,(Pore air pressure)

u_w= 4 units (Pore water pressure) and x = 0.6. (saturation parameter) symbols have their usual meaning.

Find the value of effective stress for such soil sample.

At a joint in a gravity dam of base width 140 m, the sum of vertical forces and the sum of horizontal forces are 180 MN and 120 MN respectively. The coefficient of friction is 0.70 and the shear strength of concrete is 3.2 MPa. Determine the shear friction Factor.

The location of the resultant earth pressure at rest per unit length of the wall as shown in figure from the base is _______ m.
