Undisturbed samples from a normally consolidated clay layer were collected during a subsoil exploration. Drained triaxial tests

showed that the effective friction angle was φ’ = 25°. The unconfined compressive strength, qu, of a similar specimen was found to be 133 kN/m2. Find the pore pressure at failure for the unconfined compression test.

Answer:

pre water pressure = \sigma_1 = 208.76 kN/m2

Explanation:

given data:

frictional angle  25°

unconfined xompressive strength  qu = 133 kN/m2

for clay, unconfined compressive strenth is cu

cu =\frac{qu}{2}

cu = 133/2 =66.5 kN/m2

cell pressure \sigma_3 is zero in uncomfined compressive strenth test

from principle effective stress we have

\sigma_1 = \sigma_2 tan^{2}(45+ \frac{\theta}{2}) +2cu tan(45+ \frac{\theta}{2})

\sigma_1 = 2cu tan(45+ \frac{\theta}{2})

\sigma_1 = 2*66.5 tan(45+ \frac{25}{2})

\sigma_1 = 208.76 kN/m2

as this test is quick test i.e. undrained test therefore

pre water pressure = \sigma_1 = 208.76 kN/m2

-Dominant- [34]

The power required to force the current of 4.13 A to flow through the conductor is 1927.43 watts

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = square current (I²)× resistancet (R)

P = I²R

<h3>How to determine the power</h3>
  • Current (I) = 4.13 A
  • Resistance (R) = 113 ohms
  • Power (P) =?

P = I²R

P = 4.13² × 113

P = 1927.43 watts

Thus, the power required is 1927.43 watts

What if we all jumped at the same time?
Anit [1.1K]
Technically, this delivers a lot of energy into the Earth, but it’s spread out over a large enough area that it doesn’t do much more than leave footprints in a lot of gardens. A slight pulse of pressure spreads through the North American continental crust and dissipates with little effect. The sound of all those feet hitting the ground creates a loud, drawn-out roar which lasts many seconds.

vredina [299]
Given:
u = 10⁵ m/s, the entrance velocity
v = 2.5 x 10⁶ m/s, the exit velocity
s = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m, distance traveled

Let a = the acceleration.
Then
u² + 2as = v²
(10⁵ m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.016 m) = (2.5 x 10⁶ m/s)²
0.032a = 6.25 x 10¹² - 10¹⁰ = 6.24 x 10¹²
a = 1.95 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Answer: 1.95 x 10¹⁴ m/s²
