A site is underlain by two layers of normally consolidated clayey sand. The unit weights of the top layer are 19 and 21 kN/m2 an

d the layer is 6 meters thick. The unit weights of the bottom layer are 20 and 22 kN/m, and the layer is 8 meters thick. Below the bottom layer lies bedrock. The water table is located 2 meters below the ground surface. The top layer soil has a friction angle of 38 degrees, a cohesion intercept of 20 kPa, and an undrained strength of 160 kPa. The bottom layer soil has a friction angle of 33 degrees, a cohesion intercept of 10 kPa, and an undrained strength of 120 kPa. Point A is located 9 meters underground. All layers have a lateral stress ratio of 0.5.
Required:
a. Draw the profile neatly, add dimensions, and draw a tree on the ground surface.
b. Determine the geostatic vertical effective stress and the geostatic horizontal effective stress at point A.
c. Draw the Mohr Circle to determine the effective stress that acts at point A on a plane inclined 10 degrees counter-clockwise from the horizontal plane. Make sure the Mohr Circle is a well-drawn circle

Exceeding critical mach may result in the onset of compressibility effects such as:______.
klio [65]

Answer:

Sound barrier.

Explanation:

Sound barrier is a sudden increase in drag and other effects when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound. Other undesirable effects are experienced in the transonic stage, such as relative air movement creating disruptive shock waves and turbulence. One of the adverse effect of this sound barrier in early plane designs was that at this speed, the weight of the engine required to power the aircraft would be too large for the aircraft to carry. Modern planes have designs that now combat most of these undesirable effects of the sound barrier.

State the number of terms for each of the following algebraic expression 2x+1
harina [27]

Answer:

Expressions are made up of terms.

A term is a product of factors.

Coefficient is the numerical factor in the term

Before moving to terms like monomials, binomials, and polynomials, like and unlike terms are discussed.

When terms have the same algebraic factors, they are like terms.

When terms have different algebraic factors, they are unlike terms.

Explanation:

Hi please follow me also if you can and thanks.

An aluminum alloy tube with an outside diameter of 3.50 in. and a wall thickness of 0.30 in. is used as a 14 ft long column. Ass
slega [8]

Answer:

slenderness ratio = 147.8

buckling load = 13.62 kips

Explanation:

Given data:

outside diameter is 3.50 inc

wall thickness 0.30 inc

length of column is 14 ft

E = 10,000 ksi

moment of inertia = \frac{\pi}{64 (D_O^2 -D_i^2)}

I = \frac{\pi}{64}(3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.894 in^4

Area = \frac{\pi}{4} (3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.015 in^2

radius = \sqrt{\frac{I}{A}}

r = \sqrt{\frac{3.894}{3.015}

r = 1.136 in

slenderness ratio = \frac{L}{r}

                              = \frac{14 *12}{1.136} = 147.8

buckling load = P_cr = \frac{\pi^2 EI}}{l^2}

P_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 *10,000*3.844}{( 14\times 12)^2}

P_{cr} = 13.62 kips
