Week 9 Challenge

GIVEN

CREST HT = 3m

`Delta Zundersetv` = 3m

`gamma` = 10 `(kN)/(m^3)` (taking unit wt of salt water)

Av = vertical pressure area = area of deck = 9x 12 = 108 `m^2`

Fv(mean) = `gamma xx DeltaZv xxAv`

Pressure = Pv`star` = `gamma xx DeltaZv`

Pv `star` = 10 x 3 = 30 `(kN)/(m^2)`

Pvmax = Cav x Pv `star` = 3 x 30 = 90 `(kN)/(m^2)`
