Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured

Engineering
1 answer:
Crazy boy [7]4 years ago
3 0

The answer is choice C

Explanation:

As during construction ,the site is cleared for all debris before laying out the foundation. Even the sewer lines are dug out .

So it will be useful for the construction crews to  connect the pipes to the sewer lines before the foundation is poured.

But usually the steps take in construction activity is:- first the site is cleared for the foundation to be poured  and once the foundation wall is set , then all utilities , including plumbing and electrical activities are done.,

After this process is over, the city inspector comes to check whether the foundation has been laid down as per the code of construction.

Only after that the rest of the construction activity follows through.

A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite is manufactured using 80 vol% aramid fiber (a kevlar-like compound) embedded
maw [93]

Answer:

the force conveyed by the fibers is 947.93 lb-f

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

V_f = 80% = 0.8

V_m = 1 - V_f = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

Now,

length of fibre L_f = length of Nylon L_n

V_f = A_f × L_f = 0.8

V_m = A_n × L_n = 0.2

so

V_f/V_m = A_f/A_n = 0.8/0.2

A_f/A_n = 4

now, the strains in fibre is equal to strains in nylon

(P/AE)f = (P/AE)n

P_f/A_fE_f = P_n/A_nE_n

P_f = (A_f/A_n)(E_f/E_n)(P_n)    

P_f = ( 4 )( 131 / 2.8 )(Pn)  

P_f = 187.14Pn

and P_n = Pf / 187.14

Hence

given that P_total = 953 lb-f

P_f + P_n = 953

P_f + ( P_f / 187.14 ) = 953

P_f( 1 + ( 1 / 187.14 ) ) = 953

P_f( 1.00534359 = 953

P_f = 953 / 1.00534359

P_f = 947.93 lb-f

Therefore, the force conveyed by the fibers is 947.93 lb-f

A balanced three phase load is supplied over a three-phase , 60 hz, transmission line with each line have a series impedance of
posledela

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a three-phase system

Frequency f=60Hz

Line impedance Z= 12.84 + j72.76 Ω

Then,

The resistance is R=12.84Ω

And reactance is X=72.76Ω

Z=√(12.84²+72.76²)

Z=73.88

Angle = arctan(X/R)

Angle = arctan(72.76/12.84)

Angle=80°

Then, Z=73.88 < 80° ohms

Load voltage is 132 kV

Load power P=55 MWA

Power factor =0.8lagging

the relation between the sending and receiving end specifications are given using ABCD parameters by the equations below.

Vs = AVr + BIr

Is = CVr + DIr

Where

Vs is sending Voltage

Vr is receiving Voltage

Is is sending current

Ir is receiving current

A is ratio of source voltage to received voltage A=Vs/Vr when Ir=0

B is short circuit resistance

B= Vs/Ir when Vr=0

C is ratio of source current to received voltage C=Is/Vr when Ir=0

D is ratio of source current to received current D=Is/Ir when Vr=0

Now,

The load at 55MVA at 132kV (line to line)

Therefore, load current is

Ir= P/V√3

Ir=55×10^6/(132×10^3×√3)

Ir=240.56 Amps

It has a power factor 0.8 lagging

PF=Cosθ

0.8=Cosθ

θ=arcCos(0.8)

θ=36.87°

Therefore, Ir=240.56 <-36.87°

Vr=V/√3

Vr=132/√3

Vr=76.21 kV. Phase voltage

Vr= 76210 < 0° V

For series impedance,

Using short line approximation

Vs = Vr + IrZ

Vs = 76210 < 0° + (240.56 <-36.87° × 73.88 < 80°)

Using calculator

Vs=76210<0° + 17772.5728<(-36.87°+80°)

Vs=76210<0° + 17772.5728<43.13°

Vs=89970.67<7.7°

Also

Is = Ir = 240.56 <-36.87° Amps

Therefore, the ABCD parameters is

A=Vs/Vr

A= 89970.67 <7.7° / 76210 <0°

A=1.181 <7.7-0

A=1.18 <7.7° no unit

B = Vs/Ir

B = 89970.67 < 7.7° / 240.56 <-36.87°

B = 347.01 < 7.7+36.87

B= 347.01 < 44.57° Ω

C= Is/Vr = 240.56 <-36.87° / 76210 < 0°

C= 0.003157 <-36.87-0

C= 3.157 ×10^-3 < -36.87° /Ω

C= 3.157 ×10^-3 < -36.87° Ω~¹

D= Is/Ir

Since Is=Ir

Then, D = 1 no unit.

You are traveling along an interstate highway at 32.0 m/s (about 72 mph) when a truck stops suddenly in front of you. You immedi
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a= - 2.6 m/s².

Explanation:

u = 32 m/s

The speed after 6 s is half of u

v= \dfrac{32}{2}=16\ m/s

t= 6 s

The average acceleration = a

We know v = u +at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

16= 32 + a x 6

a=\dfrac{16-32}{6}\ m/s^2

a=-2.6\ m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration will be - 2.6 m/s².

a= - 2.6 m/s².

Negative indicates that velocity and acceleration is is opposite direction.

If a plus sight of 12.03 ft is taken on BM A, elevation 312.547 ft, and a minus sight of 5.43 ft is read on point X, calculate t
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Therefore, height of instrument is 324.577 ft

Therefore, elevation of point x is 330 m

Explanation:

Given that

Plus sight on BM = 12.03 ft

Minus sight is = 5.43 ft

Elevation = 312.547 ft

Height of instrument is H.I

H.I = elevation on bench mark + plus sight

    =  312.547 + 12.03 = 324.577 ft

Therefore, height of instrument is 324.577 ft

Elevation at point x is = H.I - minus sight

                                    = 324.577 - (- 5.43)

                                     = 330.00 m

Therefore, elevation of point x is 330 m
