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

Make-up of Hydrogen
Hydrogen atoms are extremely simple. They are the first atom on the periodic table, this means that they only have 1 proton. The majority of hydrogen atoms don't even have a neutron. As for electrons, hydrogen atoms with no charge have 1 electron. All of this means that for almost all hydrogen atoms the nucleus is made of one singular proton.
Diagram
The diagram shows a hydrogen atom. It looks like one circle because it is just showing the singular proton found in the nucleus. Electrons are extremely small compared to protons, so the electron is not shown in the picture. It is very hard to accurately depict electrons on diagrams like this because of their size and the fact that we can never know where they are. So, the diagram may look too simple but it just depicts how most hydrogen nuclei look.
Answer:
The De Broglie wavelength decreases
Explanation:
The relationship between the De Broglie wavelength of a particle and its momentum is given by
where
is the De Broglie wavelength of the particle
h is the Planck constant
p is the momentum of the particle
As we see from the formula, there is an inverse relationship between the De Broglie's wavelength and the momentum. Therefore, we can conclude that:
- if the momentum of the electron increases,
- its De Broglie wavelength will decrease
and vice-versa.
