ASSOCIATION OF ENGINEERING SOCIETIES. M wales. Assuming one third of the total pressure on the piles to come above the bottom wales, and the line of action of the •other two thirds to be 5 ft. below these wales, the resulting fiber stress in the pile is about 2 900 lb. per square inch. Assuming one… … Fig. 7. action of the other half to be 3 ft. below them, the resulting fiber stress is about 1 300 lb. per square inch. The second assumption may be more nearly correct; nevertheless the first assumption might be reasonable. While the above computations are based upon a regular spacing of the bents…
