Answer: The use of post-tensioning rods is useful in this situation.

Explanation:

The prestressed concrete has not been accepted as a good building material. The high tensile strength of steel is combined with the concrete to give the compressive strength to the concrete.

Post-tensioning rods of steel along with jacking can be used to restore the strength of the prestressed girder and it can begin with the calculated preload. This way the damaged concrete can be repaired and restored.

Answer:

9500 kJ; 9000 Btu

Explanation:

Data:

m = 100 lb

T₁ = 25 °C

T₂ = 75 °C

Calculations:

1. Energy in kilojoules

ΔT = 75 °C - 25 °C = 50 °C = 50 K

$m = \text{100 lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.205 lb}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 g}}{\text{1 kg}}= 4.54 \times 10^{4}\text{ g}\\\\\begin{array}{rcl}q & = & mC_{\text{p}}\Delta T\\& = & 4.54 \times 10^{4}\text{ g} \times 4.18 \text{ J$\cdot$K$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 50 \text{ K}\\ & = & 9.5 \times 10^{6}\text{ J}\\ & = & \textbf{9500 kJ}\\\end{array}$

2. Energy in British thermal units

$\text{Energy} = \text{9500 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 Btu}}{\text{1.055 kJ}} = \text{9000 Btu}$

Answer:

1. Can you tell me something about yourself?

2. What are you weaknesses?

3. If you would describe yourself in one word?

Explanation: Those questions above 1, 2, and 3 are not harmful to ask your client. Bit the last two 4 and 5 are very harmful, because you don't need to be all up in they business and you don't want to put a lot of pressure on your client.

Hope this helps☝️☝☝

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

$\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}$ and making Y the subject

$Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}$

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, $\sigma_c$ is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

$Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682$

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

$\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}$ and making K the subject

$K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}$ and substituting 260 MPa for $\sigma_c$ while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

$K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa$

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material
