Freshly Poured Concrete Approximates A Fluid With SG 2.40. The Figure Below Shows A

This document discusses hydrostatic forces on different shaped surfaces submerged in liquids. It contains 3 short exercises: 1) Calculating the ratio of forces on the upper and lower halves of a submerged circular gate. 2) Computing the forces in 4 corner bolts connecting forms for poured concrete approximated as a fluid. 3) Finding the vertical and horizontal reaction forces at a point on a submerged log damming water.

Short Exercise: Hydrostatic Forces on Plane and Curve Surfaces

1. A vertical circular gate is submerged in a liquid so that its top edge is flushed with the
liquid surface. Find the ratio of the total force acting on the lower half to that acting on the
upper half.
2. Freshly poured concrete approximates a fluid with sg = 2.40. The figure below shows a
slab poured between wooden forms which are connected by four corner bolts A, B, C, and
D. Neglecting end effects, compute the forces in the four bolts. Hint: FC = FD and FA = FB.

3. The 4-ft-diameter log (SG = 0.80) in the figure below is 8 ft long into the paper and dams’
water as shown. Compute the net vertical, Cy, and net horizontal, Cx, reactions at point C.
