Answer:

While calculating the stresses in a body since we we assume a constant distribution of stress across a cross section if the body is loaded along the centroid of the cross section , this assumption of uniformity is assumed only on the basis of Saint Venant's Principle.

Saint venant principle states that the non uniformity in the stress at the point of application of load is only significant at small distances below the load and depths greater than the width of the loaded material this non uniformity is negligible and hence a uniform stress distribution is a reasonable and correct assumption while solving the body for stresses thus greatly simplifying the analysis.

A lake has a carrying capacity of 10,000 fish. At the current level of fishing, 2,000 fish per year are taken with the catch uni

arlik [135]

Answer:

The population size would be $p' = 5000$

The yield would be $MaxYield = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year$

Explanation:

So in this problem we are going to be examining the application of a population dynamics a fishing pond and stock fishing and objective would be to obtain the maximum sustainable yield and and the population of the fish at the obtained maximum sustainable yield, so basically we would be applying an engineering solution to fishing

So the current yield which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dN}{dt} = \frac{2000}{1 \ year }$

Where dN is the change in the number of fish

and dt is the change in time

So in order to obtain the solution we need to obtain the rate of growth

For this we would be making use of the growth rate equation which is

$r = \frac{[\frac{dN}{dt}] }{N[1-\frac{N}{K} ]}$

Where N is the population of the fish which is given as 4,000 fishes

and K is the carrying capacity which is given as 10,000 fishes

r is the growth rate

Substituting these values into the equation

$r = \frac{[\frac{2000}{year}] }{4000[1-\frac{4000}{10,000} ]} =0.833$

The maximum sustainable yield would be dependent on the growth rate an the carrying capacity and this mathematically represented as

$Max Yield = \frac{rK}{4} = \frac{(10,000)(0.833)}{4} = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year$

So since the maximum sustainable yield is 2082 then the the population need to be higher than 4,000 so in order to ensure a that this maximum yield the population size denoted by $p'$ would be

$p' = \frac{K}{2} = \frac{10,000}{2} = 5000\ fishes$

A 650-kN column load is supported on a 1.5 m square, 0.5 m deep spread footing. The soil below is a well-graded, normally consol

insens350 [35]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Determine the weight of footing

$W_{f}=\gamma(L)(B)(D)$

Where $W_{f}$ is the weight of footing, γ is the unit weight of concrete, L is the length of footing is the width of footing, and D is the depth of footing

Substitute $2 m \text { for } L, 1.5 m \text { for } B, 0.5 m \text { for } D \text { and } 23.6 kN / m ^{3}$ for γ in the equation

$\begin{aligned}W_{f} &=\left(23.6 kN / m ^{3}\right)(2 m )(1.5 m )(0.5 m ) \\&=35.4 kN\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the weight of the footing is 35.4 kN

Determine the initial vertical effective stress.

$\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}=\gamma(D+B)-u$

Here, $\sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime}$ is initial vertical stress at a depth below ground surface γ is the unit weight of soil, D is depth and u is pore water pressure.

Substitute $18 kN / m ^{3} \text { for } \gamma, 1.5 m \text { for } B, 0.5 m \text { for } D \text { and } 0$ for u in the equation

$\begin{aligned}\sigma_{z p}^{\prime} &=\left(18 kN / m ^{3}\right)(1.5+0.5) m -0 \\&=36 kPa\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the initial vertical stress is 36 kPa

Determine the vertical effective stress.

$\sigma_{z D}^{\prime}=\gamma D$

Here, $\sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime}$ is initial vertical stress at a depth below ground surface γ is the unit weight of soil, D is depth and u is pore water pressure.

Substitute $18 kN / m ^{3}\) for $\gamma, 0.5 m$ for $D$ and 0 for \(u$ in the equation.

$\begin{aligned}\sigma_{z b}^{\prime} &=\left(18 kN / m ^{3}\right)(0.5 m )-0 \\&=9 kPa\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the vertical stress at a depth below the ground surface is

9 kPa

Determine the influence factor at the midpoint of soil layer,

$I_{e p}=0.5+0.1 \sqrt{\frac{q-\sigma_{s 0}^{\prime}}{\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}}}$

Here $I_{e p}$ is the influence factor at the midpoint of soil layer $\sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime}$ is initial vertical stress, $\sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime}$ is vertical effective stress, and $Q$ is bearing pressure

Substitute $36 kPa for $\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}, 228.47$ kPa for $q,$ and 9 kPa for $\sigma_{z D}^{\prime}$$ in the equation $\begin{aligned}I_{\epsilon P} &=0.5+0.1 \sqrt{\frac{228.47 kPa -9 kPa }{36 kPa }} \\&=0.75\end{aligned}$

Therefore the influence factor at the midpoint of the soil layer is 0.693
