Mirror Radius (mm) Bending Failure Stress (MPa)

.603 225

.203 368

.162 442

answer : 191 mPa

Explanation:

Determine the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate

Bending stress ∝ 1 / ( mirror radius )^n ------ ( 1 )

at 0.603 bending stress = 225

at 0.203 bending stress = 368

at 0.162 bending stress = 442

applying equation 1 determine the value of n for several combinations

( 225 / 368 ) = ( 0.203 / 0.603 )^n

hence : n = 0.452

also

( 368/442 ) = ( 0.162 / 0.203 ) ^n

hence : n = 0.821

also

( 225 / 442 ) = ( 0.162 / 0.603 ) ^n

hence : n = 0.514

Next determine the average value of n

n ( mean value ) = ( 0.452 + 0.821 + 0.514 ) / 3 = 0.596

Calculate estimated stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate

= bending stress at x = 0.796 / bending stress at x = 0.603

= x / 225 = ( 0.603 / 0.796 ) ^ 0.596

therefore X ( stress present at the time of fracture of original plate )

= 225 * 0.84747

= 191 mPa

. The flexure strength test was performed on a concrete beam having a cross section of 0.15m by 0.15m and a span of 0.45m. If th

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

σ =5.39Mpa

Explanation:

step one:

The flexure strength is defined as the tendency with which unreinforced concrete yield to bending forces

Flexural strength test Flexural strength is calculated using the equation:

σ = FL/ (bd^2 )----------1

Where

σ = Flexural strength of concrete in Mpa

F= Failure load (in N).

L= Effective span of the beam

b= Breadth of the beam

step two:

Given data

F=40.45 kN= 40450N

b=0.15m

d=0.15m

L=0.45m

step three:

substituting into the expression we have

σ = 40450*0.45/ (0.15*0.15^2 )

σ =18202.5/ (0.15*0.15^2 )

σ =18202.5/ (0.15*0.0225 )

σ =18202.5/0.003375

σ =5393333.3

σ =5393333.3/1000000

σ =5.39Mpa

Therefore the flexure strength of the concrete is 5.39Mpa

How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

$\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd$

The volume at loose is:

$V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd$

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

$\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip$

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

$pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }$

$pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd$

The weight of backfill is:

$8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton$

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

$\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip$

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288
