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

using namespace std;

bool isPalindrome(string str, int lower, int upper){

return true;

}

else{

return isPalindrome(str,lower+1,upper-1);

}

else{

return false;

}

}

int main(){

string input;

Suppose values is a sorted array of integers. Give pseudocode that describes how a new value can be inserted so that the resulti
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

insert (array[] , value , currentsize , maxsize )

{

   if maxsize <=currentsize

  {

      return -1

  }

  index = currentsize-1

  while (i>=0 && array[index] > value)

  {

      array[index+1]=array[index]

      i=i-1

  }

 

  array[i+1]=value

  return 0

}

Explanation:

1: Check if array is already full, if it's full then no component may be inserted.

2: if array isn't full:

  • Check parts of the array ranging from last position of range towards initial range and determine position of that initial range that is smaller than the worth to be inserted.  
  • Right shift every component of the array once ranging from last position up to the position larger than the position at that smaller range was known.
  • assign new worth to the position that is next to the known position of initial smaller component.

What is the power of a parallel circuit with a resistance of 1,000 omh and current of 0.03a
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: P = I2R = 0.032 x 1000 =0.9 W

Explanation: The power will be the product of the square of the current and

the resistance of the load. The fact that the circuit is a parallel  circuit is irrelevant to this question.
