The in situ moisture content of a soil is 18% and the moist (total) unit weight is 105 pcf. The soil is to be excavated and tran

sported to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specifications call for for the soil to be compacted at a minimum dry unit weight of 103 pcf at the same moisture content of 18%, how many cubic yards of soil of the excavation site are required for each cubic yard of compacted fill? Assume a soil specific gravity of 2.7.

Answer: Volume= 1.16 yd³

Explanation:

We are given the in-situ moisture content= 18% and moist unit weight= 105 pcf

First we find out the dry unit weight

Dry unit weight= Moist unit weight / (1+ moisture content)

Dry unit weight= \frac{105}{1.18}

Dry unit weight= 88.983 pcf

Now, to find the volume ( in terms of each cubic yard i.e 1 yd³ we have

Volume = Dry unit weight compacted / Dry unit weight (in-situ) * 1 yd³

Volume= \frac{103.5}{88.983} * 1

Volume= 1.16 yd³

k0ka [10]

Answer:

point_dist = math.sqrt((math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))

Explanation:

The distance formula is the difference of the x coordinates squared, plus the difference of the y coordinates squared, all square rooted.  For the general case, it appears you simply need to change how you have written the code.

point_dist = math.sqrt((math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))

Note, by moving the 2 inside of the pow function, you have provided the second argument that it is requesting.

You were close with your initial attempt, you just had a parenthesis after x1 and y1 when you should not have.

Cheers.

Using the AASHTO procedure, determine the thickness required for a base and a surface layer over existing subgrade. The structur
garri49 [273]

Answer:

<u>the thickness required would be 12 inch HMA and granular base layer of 6 inches</u>

Explanation:

structural number = 4.5

stone base course material coefficient = 0.13

hma material layer coefficient = 0.40

drainage coefficient = 0.90

we will use layered analysis procedure to get thickness

D1 >= sN1/a1

when we cross multiply,

sN1 = a1D1 >=sN1

D2 >= -sN2-sN1/a2m2

sN2* + sN1* >= sN2

D3 >= sN3-(sN1*+sN2*)/a2m2

where a1,a2,a3 = layer coefficient

d1 d2 d3 = actual thickness

m2,m3 = coefficient of base

a1 = 0.4

a1 = 0.13

sN = 4.5

m2 = 0.9

D1 >= sN1/a1 = 4.5/0.4

= 11.25

thickness of surface = 12 inches

a1D1 = 0.4x12 = 4.8

we have value of sN2 = 5.5

(5.5 -4.8)/(0.13*0.9)

= 0.7/0.117

= 5.9829 inches

approximately 6 inches

so the pavement will have 12inch HMA surface and 6 inches granular base layer.

Question #7
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The option that identifies why the bicycle cannot yet be created as a model in the scenario is;

Suzanne forgot to include the exact units of measurement that should be used

Explanation:

The design sketch turned over to the team that will work on the prototype by Suzanne should present all aspects of the design that will enable others working on the design and that make use of the sketch to have a clear understanding of what is required of them

Given that Suzanne has included the numbers that explain the relationship between the sketch and the real world object, the scale that shows the ratios and proportions of the sketch and the actual bicycle has been provided, however, given that the the machinist still need more information, the units of the measurement indicated in the drawing was not included, therefore, the actual dimensions and size that gives the length of the parts of the sketch and of the prototype to be made cannot be determined.

A 0.25in diameter steel rod BC is securely attached between two identical 1in diameter copper rods (AB and CD). Find the torque
Helen [10]

Answer:

Tmax= 46.0 lb-in

Explanation:

Given:

- The diameter of the steel rod BC d1 = 0.25 in

- The diameter of the copper rod AB and CD d2 = 1 in

- Allowable shear stress of steel τ_s = 15ksi

- Allowable shear stress of copper τ_c = 12ksi

Find:

Find the torque T_max

Solution:

- The relation of allowable shear stress is given by:

                             τ = 16*T / pi*d^3

                             T = τ*pi*d^3 / 16

- Design Torque T for Copper rod:

                             T_c = τ_c*pi*d_c^3 / 16

                             T_c = 12*1000*pi*1^3 / 16

                             T_c = 2356.2 lb.in

- Design Torque T for Steel rod:

                             T_s = τ_s*pi*d_s^3 / 16

                             T_s = 15*1000*pi*0.25^3 / 16

                             T_s = 46.02 lb.in

- The design torque must conform to the allowable shear stress for both copper and steel. The maximum allowable would be:

                             T = min ( 2356.2 , 46.02 )

                             T = 46.02 lb-in
