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

What is voltage drop?

Answer:

Explanation:

It is the voltage a voltmeter would read when connected across something that has resistance.

The diagram above is supposed to represent 3 lightbulbs connected in series. The vertical lines in the middle are supposed to be a battery which powers the three light bulbs. If you put a voltmeter across one of the lightbulbs, it will read a voltage that is 1/3 of the voltage of the battery.

Answer

That reading you get across the one light bulb is The Voltage Drop.

If 1 uF capacitor is fully charged with 120 V across it, how much energy is stored in it? (a) 7.2 kJ (b) 7.2 mJ (c) 0.12 mJ (d)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(b) 7.2 mJ

Explanation:

ENERGY STORED IN CAPACITOR: the energy is stored in capacitor in electric field

which can be calculated by expressions

E=\frac{1}{2} c v{^2}

=\frac{1}{2} 10^{-6}120^{2}

=7200×10^{-6} J

= 7.2×10^{-3} J

=7.2 mJ

How much does it cost to replace a roof on a 2,200 square foot house.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

An estimated amount of $8,200 to $12,000

Explanation:

~~It all really depends on what materials you have purchased for the replacement.

~~If you're to choose lower-quality materials the cost would be less but high-quality ones will be more expensive.

(The answer is if you're most likely to purchase asphalt shingles)

Hope this Helps!

Gold forms a substitutional solid solution with silver. Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter for a silver-gold
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter = 9.052 x 10^21 atoms/cm3

Explanation:

The step by step and appropriate substitution is as shown in the attachment.

From number of moles = Concentration x volume

number of moles = number of particles/ Avogadro's number

Volume = mass/density, the appropriate derivation to get the number of moles of atoms
