A site is underlain by a soil that has a unit weight of 118 lb/ft3. From laboratory shear strength tests that closely simulated

the field conditions, the total stress parameters were measured to be C total = 250 lb/ft2 and φ total = 29°. Estimate the shear strength on a horizontal plane at a depth of 12 ft below the ground surface at this site in lbs/ sq ft

Answer: the shear strength at a depth of 12 ft is 1034.9015 lb/ft²

Explanation:

Given that;

Weight of soil r = 118 lb/ft³

stress parameter C = 250 lb/ft²

φ total = 29°

depth Z = 12 ft

The shear strength on a horizontal plane at a depth of 12ft

ζ = C + δtanφ

where δ = normal stress

normal stress δ = r × z = 118 × 12 = 1416

so

ζ = C + δtanφ

ζ = 250 + 1416(tan29°)

ζ = 250 + 1416(tan29°)

ζ = 250 + 784.9016

ζ = 1034.9015 lb/ft²

Therefore the shear strength at a depth of 12 ft is 1034.9015 lb/ft²

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

hand tracing

Explanation:

as a programmer when we pretend  computer in the  debugging process by the step of each statement in recording    

then there value of variable is hand tracing because as The hand tracking feature is the use of hands as an input method      

so while recording value of each variable each step is hand tracing

The fracture toughness of a stainless steel is 137 MPa*m12. What is the tensile impact load sustainable before fracture that a r
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

7.7 kN

Explanation:

The capacity of a material having a crack to withstand fracture is referred to as fracture toughness.

It can be expressed by using the formula:

K = \sigma Y \sqrt{\pi a}

where;

fracture toughness K = 137 MPam^{1/2}

geometry factor Y = 1

applied stress \sigma = ???

crack length a = 2mm = 0.002

∴

137 =\sigma \times 1  \sqrt{ \pi \times 0.002 }

137 =\sigma \times 0.07926

\dfrac{137}{0.07926} =\sigma

\sigma = 1728.489 MPa

Now, the tensile impact obtained is:

\sigma = \dfrac{P}{A}

P = A × σ

P = 1728.289 × 4.5

P = 7777.30 N

P = 7.7 kN

Which of the following sentences uses the active voice
MrRa [10]

Answer: Last week, Nate and I counted all the inventory.

Explanation: all other choices are passive voices

this sentence follows a clear subject + verb + object construct that's why it is an active voice. In fact, sentences constructed in the active voice add impact to your writing. but on the other hand With passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb.
