Treating the Dredged Marine Sediment with Bentonite and OPC

HiSediments that are dredged from the water bodies such as reservoir, lakes or oceans are weak in strength and highly compressible, in general. This is nothing more than a waste material. However, it can be treated with certain chemicals such as the Bentonite and OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) to give it the desired properties of a […]

Solved Example of Pinned Truss – the Average Normal and Shear Stresses in Members and Pins

Hi,A simple truss has pin-connected members. The members carry only axial forces, but the pins have to bear the shear stresses. Given example shows the calculation for the minimum required diameter of pin-connected in double shear.   Problem(as in Figure 1) Two structural members AB and BC (shown below) are connected by a pin at
