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

al number required for this pavement is 4.5. The available materials are a crushed stone base course with a material layer coefficient of 0.13 and an HMA surface with a material layer coefficient of 0.40. The drainage coefficient of the based course can be considered as 0.90.

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.

‏What is the potential energy in joules of a 12 kg ( mass ) at 25 m above a datum plane ?

Virty [35]

Answer:

E = 2940 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass, m = 12 kg

Position at which the object is placed, h = 25 m

We need to find the potential energy of the mass. It is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

$E=12\times 9.8\times 25\\\\E=2940\ J$

So, the potential energy of the mass is 2940 J.

Water is boiled in a pot covered with a loosely fitting lid at a location where the pressure is 85.4 kPa. A 2.61 kW resistance h

eimsori [14]

Answer:

t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h

Explanation:

The energy provided by the resistance heater must be equal to the energy required to boil the water:

E = ΔQ

ηPt = mH

where.

η = efficiency = 84.5 % = 0.845

P = Power = 2.61 KW = 2610 W

t = time = ?

m = mass of water = 6.03 kg

H = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

Therefore,

(0.845)(2610 W)t = (6.03 kg)(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg)

$t = \frac{1.362\ x\ 10^7\ J}{2205.45\ W}$

<u>t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h</u>

An equal-tangent sag vertical curve (with a negative initial and a positive final grade) is designed for 55 mi/h. The PVI is at

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

Explanation:

Length of curve is given as

$L=2(PVT-PVI)\\L=2(242+30-240+00)\\L=2(230)\\L=460 ft$

$G_2$ is given as

$G_2=\frac{E_{PVT}-E_{PVI}}{0.5L}\\G_2=\frac{127.5-122}{0.5*460}\\G_2=0.025=2.5 \%$

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

$A=\frac{L}{K}\\A=\frac{460}{115}\\A=4$

A is given as

$-G_1=A-G_2\\-G_1=4.0-2.5\\-G_1=1.5\\G_1=-1.5\%$

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

$E_{PVC}=E_{PVI}+G_1(L/2)\\E_{PVC}=122+1.5%(460/2)\\E_{PVC}=125.45 ft\\$

The station is given as

$St_{PVC}=St_{PVI}-(L/2)\\St_{PVC}=24000-(230)\\St_{PVC}=237+70\\$

Low point is given as

$x=K \times |G_1|\\x=115 \times 1.5\\x=172.5 ft$

The station of low point is given as

$St_{low}=St_{PVC}-(x)\\St_{low}=23770+(172.5)\\St_{low}=239+42.5 ft\\$

The elevation is given as

$E_{low}=\frac{G_2-G_1}{2L} x^2+G_1x+E_{PVC}\\E_{low}=\frac{2.5-(-1.5)}{2*460} (1.72)^2+(-1.5)*(1.72)+125.45\\E_{low}=124.16 ft$

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

torisob [31]

Answer:

C). rearview mirror (at least of four inches by four inches).

Explanation:

<u>A 'rearview mirror' would be needed in case one is required to pull an individual on water skis after a PWC(personal watercraft) that is rated for carrying two persons only</u>. This wide-angle mirror for rearview would allow the operator to monitor the person who is being towed constantly along with riding the ski at the same time. It is considered illegal to tow a person on a vessel without having a rearview mirror and at the same time, the limited capacity must also be followed strictly. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

How high a building could fire hoses effectively spray from the ground? Fire hose pressures are around 1 MPa. (It is also said t

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$z_{2} = 91.640\,m$

Explanation:

The phenomenon can be modelled after the Bernoulli's Principle, in which the sum of heads related to pressure and kinetic energy on ground level is equal to the head related to gravity.

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}= z_{2}+\frac{P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g}$

The velocity of water delivered by the fire hose is:

$v_{1} = \frac{(300\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot(\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.3\,m)^{2}}$

$v_{1} = 0.267\,\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum height is cleared in the Bernoulli's equation:

$z_{2}= \frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

$z_{2}= \frac{1\times 10^{6}\,Pa-101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa}{(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0.267\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}$

$z_{2} = 91.640\,m$
