A 18-ft thick clay layer in the field (drained on one side) is normally consolidated. When the pressure is increase from 0.75 to

n/ft^2 to 1.5 ton/ft^2, the void ratio decreases from 1.12 to 0.98. The hydraulic conductivity, k, of the clay during the above loading range was found to be 4.3 times 10^-7 cm/sec. a. How long (in days) will it take for the clay layer to reach 70% reach 70% consolidation? b. What is the settlement at that time (that is, at 70% consolidation)?

Answer:

a) 294.34 days

b) Δh = 25.361 cm

Explanation:

Given data:

Thickness of clay layer = 18 ft

initial pressure = 0.75 ton/ft^2

final pressure = 1.5 ton/ft^2

Δp = 0.75 ton/ft^2

eo = 1.12

e1 = 0.98

k = 4.3 * 10^-7 cm/sec

A ) determine how long it will take to reach 70% consolidation

attached below is the detailed solution

T( time in days ) = 294.34 days

B) determine settlement at 70%

attached below is the detailed solution

Δh = 25.361 cm

1. The construction process begins with which of the following stages?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c) site preparation

Explanation:

A construction process can be defined as a series of important physical events (processes) that must be accomplished during the execution of a construction project.

Generally, in the construction of any physical asset such as offices, hospitals, schools, stadiums etc, the first step of the construction process is site preparation. Site preparation refers to processes such as clearing, blasting, levelling, landfilling, surveying, cutting, excavating and demolition of all unwanted objects on a piece of land, so as to make it ready for use.

This ultimately implies that, site preparation should be the first task to be accomplished in the construction process.

Hence, the construction process typically begins with site preparation before other activities such as the laying of foundation can be done.

Additionally, construction costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the development of a built asset, project or property. The construction costs is classified into two (2) main categories and these are; capital and operational costs.

The ???? − i relationship for an electromagnetic system is given by ???? = 1.2i1/2 g where g is the air-gap length. For current
Artemon [7]

Answer:

a) The mechanical force is -226.2 N

b) Using the coenergy the mechanical force is -226.2 N

Explanation:

a) Energy of the system:

\lambda =\frac{1.2*i^{1/2} }{g} \\i=(\frac{\lambda g}{1.2} )^{2}

\frac{\delta w_{f} }{\delta g} =\frac{g^{2}\lambda ^{3}  }{3*1.2^{2} }

f_{m}=- \frac{\delta w_{f} }{\delta g} =-\frac{g^{2}\lambda ^{3}  }{3*1.2^{2} }

If i = 2A and g = 10 cm

\lambda =\frac{1.2*i^{1/2} }{g} =\frac{1.2*2^{1/2} }{10x10^{-2} } =16.97

f_{m}=-\frac{g^{2}\lambda ^{3}  }{3*1.2^{2} }=-\frac{16.97^{3}*2*0.1 }{3*1.2^{2} } =-226.2N

b) Using the coenergy of the system:

f_{m}=- \frac{\delta w_{f} }{\delta g} =-\frac{1.2*2*i^{3/2}  }{3*g^{2} }=-\frac{1.2*2*2^{3/2} }{3*0.1^{2} } =-226.2N

A center-point bending test was performed on a 2 in. x d in. wood lumber according to ASTM D198 procedure with a span of 4 ft an
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

3.03 INCHES

Explanation:

According to ASTM D198 ;

Modulus of rupture = ( M / I ) * y  ----- ( 1 )

M ( bending moment ) = R * length of span / 2

                                     = (120 * 10^3 ) * 48 / 2 = 288 * 10^4 Ib-in

I ( moment of inertia ) = bd^3 / 12

                                    = ( 2 )*( d )^3  / 12 =  2d^3 / 12

b = 2 in ,  d = ?

length of span = 4 * 12 = 48 inches

R = P  / 2 =  240 * 10^3 / 2 =   120 * 10^3 Ib

y ( centroid distance ) = d / 2  inches

back to equation ( 1 )

( M / I ) * y

940.3 ksi = ( 288 * 10^4 / 2d^3 / 12 ) * d / 2

                = ( 288 * 10^4 * 12 ) / 2d^3 )  * d / 2

940300  = 34560000* d / 4d^3

4d^3 ( 940300 ) = 34560000 d  ( divide both sides with d )

4d^2 = 34560000 / 940300

d^2 = 9.188   ∴ Value of d ≈ 3.03 in

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Trojan horse

Explanation:

A trojan horse attack is a type of malware that misleads users, as it appears unsuspicious at first, but actually presents a threat to the user. A common example is that of an email that contains a malicious attachment. Another common example is that of a fake advertisement. The name comes from the Greek story of the Trojan horse that led to the fall of the city of Troy.
