A consolidation test was performed on a sample of fine-grained soil sample taken from a depth such that the vertical effective s

tress at that depth is 154 kN/m2. The thickness of the layer is 8 m, and the preconsolidation stress of the fine-grained soil layer is 154 kN/m2. If the initial void ratio of the soil is 0.87 and the design load to be added at the surface will induce a change in stress of 28 at the depth the sample was taken, calculate the primary consolidation settlement expected due to that load. The compression index of the soil is 0.3, and the recompression index of the soil is 0.07.

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

C_c is the Compression index

e_o is the inital void ratio

\bar{\sigma_o} is the initial effective stress at the depth

\Delta \bar{\sigma_o} is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04

A certain printer requires that all of the following conditions be satisfied before it will send a HIGH to la microprocessor ack
Elza [17]

Answer:

D) AND gate.

Explanation:

Given that:

A certain printer requires that all of the following conditions be satisfied before it will send a HIGH to la microprocessor acknowledging that it is ready to print

These conditions are:

1. The printer's electronic circuits must be energized.

2. Paper must be loaded and ready to advance.

3. The printer must be "on line" with the microprocessor.

Now; if these conditions are met  the logic gate produces a HIGH output indicating readiness to print.

The objective here is to determine the basic logic gate used in this circuit.

Now;

For NOR gate;

NOR gate gives HIGH only when all the inputs are low. but the question states it that "a HIGH is generated and applied to a 3-input logic gate". This already falsify NOR gate to be the right answer.

For NOT gate.

NOT gate operates with only one input and one output device but here; we are dealing with 3-input logic gate.

Similarly, OR gate gives output as a high if any one of the input signals is high but we need "a HIGH that is generated and applied to a 3-input logic gate".

Finally, AND gate output is HIGH only when all the input signal is HIGH and vice versa, i.e AND gate output is LOW only when all the input signal is LOW. So AND gate satisfies the given criteria that; all the three conditions must be true for the final signal to be HIGH.
