This problem consists of two questions. A buttress must be designed to transfer the loads, P = 100 kips, from a dome to the foundation. The buttress is 16 ft tall and 5 ft wide. The force from the dome is 40 kips and is applied to the buttress at an angle of 40 degrees. The buttress is made out of concrete and has the density of 150 lb/ft3. The static coefficient of friction between the concrete and the soil is 0.32.
