A multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) is on level terrain. The free-flow speed has been measured at 45 mi/h. The pea

k-hour directional traffic flow is 1300 vehicles with 8% heavy vehicles. If the peak-hour factor is 0.85, determine the highway's level of service.

Answer:

17.71 veh/mi/ln

Explanation:

Given,

Free Flow Speed, FFS = 45 mph

Number of lanes in each direction = 2

Peak Flow, V = 1300 veh/hr

Peak-hour factor = 0.85

HV = 8 %

Level Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.08 (1.5-1)) = 1/1.04 = 0.96

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 1300/(0.96*2*0.85*1.0) = 796.57 ~ 797 veh/hr/ln

Vp < 1400

S = FFS = 45 mph

Density = Vp/S = (797) / (45) = 17.71 veh/mi/ln

Density of LOS B should lie between 11 – 18 veh/mi/ln

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

She believes he's weak and won't do what needs to be done to become a king.

Explanation:

She says ('I fear thy nature') and calls him 'too full o' th' milk of human kindness' which reflects that she feels his kindness makes him weak and may prevent him from proceeding the plan. Thus, she manipulates him to keep his kindness aside and do what she wishes him to do. She rather belittles him to get her purpose solved and

A standard penetration test has been conducted on a coarse sand at a depth of 16 ft below the ground surface. The blow counts ob
scoray [572]

Solution :

Given :

The number of blows is given as :

0 - 6 inch = 4 blows

6 - 12 inch = 6 blows

12 - 18 inch = 6 blows

The vertical effective stress $=1500 \ lb/ft^2$

                                              $= 71.82 \ kN/m^2$

                                             $ \sim 72 \ kN/m^2 $

Now,

$N_1=N_0 \left(\frac{350}{\bar{\sigma}+70} \right)$

$N_1 = $ corrected N - value of overburden

$\bar{\sigma}=$ effective stress at level of test

0 - 6 inch, $N_1=4 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right)$

                      = 9.86

6 - 12 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                        = 14.8

12 - 18 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                         = 14.8

$N_{avg}=\frac{9.86+14.8+14.8}{3}$

       = 13.14

       = 13

Ultimate tensile strength is: (a) The stress at 0.2% strain (b) The stress at the onset of plastic deformation (c) The stress at
MissTica

Answer:

By definition the ultimate tensile strength is the maximum stress in the stress-strain deformation. The stress at 0.2% strain, the stress at the onset of plastic deformation, the stress at the end of the elastic deformation and the stress at the fracture correspond, by definition, to other points of the stress-strain curve.
