6 A series of vane shear tests has been performed in a stratum of inorganic clay that has a plasticity index of 50. The vane had a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. The test results were as follows: Depth (m) Torque at Failure (N-m) 3.4 12.7 4.1 18.1 5.0 15.8 6.6 20.1 Compute the undrained shear strength, su, for each test, then combine this data to determine a single su value for this stratum.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
