You are in charge of ordering the concrete for a basement wall concrete pour. The wall forms are all set up and ready. The wall

around the basement is 10 inches thick. The interior finished dimension of the basement is 120 feet 5 inches by 86 feet 4-1/2 inches and fourteen (14') feet tall. What is the exact quantity of concrete in cubic yards (CY) to order plus three (3%) per cent added for spilled concrete.

Answer:

189.15cy

Explanation:

To understand this problem we need to understand as well the form.

It is clear that there is four wall, two short and two long.

The two long are \rightarrow 120ft5in+2(10ft)

The two long are \rightarrow 122ft1in=122.08ft

The two shors are \rightarrow 86ft4.5in = 86.375ft

The height and the thickness are 14ft and 0.83ft respectively.

So we only calculate the Quantity of concrete,

Q_c = [(2*122.08)+(2*86-375)]*14*0.833\\Q_c=4864.02ft^3

That in cubic yards is equal to 180.15 (1cy=27ft^3)

Hence, we need order 5% plus that represent with the quantity

Q_{ordered}=1.05*180.15=189.15cy

Primary Creep: slope (creep rate) decreases with time
Igoryamba

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Creep is known as the time dependent deformation of structure due to constant load acting on the body.

Creep is generally seen at high temperature.

Due to creep the length of the structure increases which is not fit for serviceability purpose.

When time passes structure gain strength as the structure strength increases with time so creep tends to decrease.

When we talk about Creep rate for new structure the creep will be more than the old structure i.e. the creep rate decreases with time.

Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr
baherus [9]

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A.) 0.3088

B.) 0.0017

C.) part A

Explanation:

A.)

z1= \frac{\left(150-137\right)}{27.7}=0.4693

z2=\frac{\left(201-137\right)}{27.7}=2.3105

P(0.4693

B.)

z1=\frac{150-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}} =2.9309\\z2=\frac{201-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}}=14.4289

\\P(2.9309

C.) Since the seat performance for an individual pilot is more important than 39 different pilots.
