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

Paul [167]

Question:Technician A say's that The most two-stroke engines have a pressure type lubrication system. Technician be says that four stroke engines do not require the mixing of oil with gasoline . Which of them is correct ?

Answer: Technician  B is   correct

Explanation: Two types of engines exist , the two stroke (example, used in chainsaws)  is a type of engine that uses two strokes--a compression stroke and a return stroke to produce power in a crankshaft combustion cycle and the  four stroke engines(eg lawnmowers) which  uses four strokes,  2-strokes during  compression and exhaustion accompanied by 2 return strokes for each of the initial process to produce power in a combustion cycle.

While a 2 stroke system engine, requires mixing of oil and fuel to the crankshaft before  forcing  the mixture into the cylinder and do not require a pressurized system.  The 4 stroke system uses a splash and pressurized system where oil is not mixed with gasoline but drawn from the sump and  directed to  the main moving  parts of  crankshaft through its channels.

We can therefore say that Technician A is wrong while Technician B is  correct
