Answer:
a) A suspended floor is a ground floor with a void underneath the structure. The floor can be formed in various ways, using timber joists, precast concrete panels, block and beam system or cast in-situ with reinforced concrete. However, the floor structure is supported by external and internal walls.
b) Soil exploration consists of determining the profile of the natural soil deposits at the site, taking the soil samples and determining the engineering properties of soils using laboratory tests as well as in-situ testing methods
c) Bulking in sand Occurs When dry sand interacts with the atmospheric moisture. Presence of moisture content forms a thin layer around sand particles. This layer generates the force which makes particles to move aside to each other. This results in the increase of the volume of sand.
d) In a nutshell, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads that are applied to the ground above. It depends primarily on the type of soil, its shear strength and its density. It also depends on the depth of embedment of the load – the deeper it is founded, the greater the bearing capacity.

Explanation:
Ohm's law is used here. V = IR, and variations. The voltage across all elements is the same in this parallel circuit. (V1 =V2 =V3)
The total supply current is the sum of the currents in each of the branches. (It = I1 +I2 +I3)
Rt = (8 V)/(8 A) = 1 Ω . . . . supply voltage divided by supply current
I3 = 8A -3A -4A = 1 A . . . . supply current not flowing through other branches
R1 = (8 V)/(3 A) = 8/3 Ω
R2 = (8 V)/(4 A) = 2 Ω
R3 = (8 V)/(I3) = (8 V)/(1 A) = 8 Ω
V1 = V2 = V3 = 8 V
Answer:
41.5° C
Explanation:
Given data :
1025 steel
Temperature = 4°C
allowed joint space = 5.4 mm
length of rails = 11.9 m
<u>Determine the highest possible temperature </u>
coefficient of thermal expansion ( ∝ ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 /°C
Applying thermal strain ( Δl / l ) = ∝ * ΔT
( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 * ( T2 - 4 )
∴ ( T2 - 4 ) = ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) / 12.1 * 10^-6
hence : T2 = 41.5°C
