FE Exam latest review 2024
Young's Modulus - E
modulus of elasticity
How much does something compress - strain = compression
Δ = change in compression
Δ =PL/AE
γ
c
ф
(Geotechnical) - Unit weight
cohesion
angel of internal friction
bearing capacity - use ultimate bearing capacity equation then divide by factor of
safety
cohesion value for sand - zero

Pressure at bottom of a wall
(fluids) - (fluids) unit weight x h
(geotech) Ka(unit weight x h)
Ka = active earth pressure
ρ = Ka(γxh)
P = 1/2(ρxh) for triangular pressure point load
overturning moment = P(h/3)
Determine factor of safety of a retaining wall resisting earth. Wall has a moment
6000 ft-lbs& earth is acting in the opposite direction to overturn the wall with
3146 ft-lbs - moment of wall/moment of earth = factor of safety
If factor of safety isn't enough, need a bigger wall
Active earth pressure vs Passive earth pressure - Active: trying to overturn the wall
Passive: trying to resist active (don't have to worry about if wall is level with earth,
not embedded)

log b - log a also equals - log(b/a)
Secant Modulus - Between origin and any "arbitrary" point on the curve
Cord Modulus - Between any two points
Tangent Modulus - At one "arbitrary" point on the curve
Modulus of Elasticity of Steel - 29,000 ksi
Modulus of Elasticity of Aluminum - 10,000-11,000 ksi
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete - 2,000-6,000 ksi
Modulus of Elasticity of Wood - 900-2,200 ksi
