Answer:
What soil conditions favor the use of belled caissons?
Answer:
- where the bell can be unearthed from a solid surface.
- where the supporting stratum below the bottom of the caisson is impermeable to water movement.
What soil conditions favor piles over caissons?
Answer:
- non-cosheal soils
- subterranean water or excessive depth of bearing strata make caisson unworkable
What type of piles are especially well suited to repair or improvement of existing foundations ?
Answer:
Without hammering, minipiles or helical piles are placed which escapes much of the vibration and noise associated with traditional pile installation. for working close to existing buildings or for improving the exiting foundations where excessive vibration could damage exiting structures or noise may interfere with ongoing activities these piles are good options.
Why?
Their slenderness involves little or no displacement of the soil, thus minimizing the risk of disturbance to nearby foundations.
List and explain some cost thresholds frequently encountered in foundation design.
Answer:
building below the water table- site dewatering must occur, strengthening of slopes supper system must be done and waterproofing of the foundation all of which entails money
building near existing building - this requires underpinning(The process of reinforcing the base of an existing building or other structure underpins it.)
increase in column/wall load- building height determines the foundation depth
The reflected beam of light passes through the focal point of the mirror.
In fact, a ray travelling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror passes through the focal point after it is reflected back from the mirror. This can be seen for instance in this figure:

where the situation described by the problem is shown with the red ray: the beam travels parallel to the principal axis and it is reflected through the focal point.
The existence of atmosphere increases the average planetary temperature by more than 15°C, due to the greenhouse effect of some atmospheric compounds. The most important of them are water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).
Answer:
5.4kgm/s towards the hitter.
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass = 0.12kg
Velocity = 45m/s
Unknown:
Momentum of the baseball = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we must understand that the momentum of a body is the quantity of motion it possesses.
Momentum = mass x velocity
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Momentum = 0.12 x 45 = 5.4kgm/s towards the hitter.
That Organ is be percussion.
