A solid circular rod that is 600 mm long and 20 mm in diameter is subjected to an axial force of P = 50 kN The elongation of the

Kay [80]

Answer:

a) V = 0.354

b) G = 25.34 GPA

Explanation:

Solution:

We first determine Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of rigidity

Elongation of rod ΔL = 1.4 mm

Normal stress, δ = P/A

Where P = Force acting on the cross-section

A = Area of the cross-section

Using Area, A = π/4 · d²

= π/4 · (0.0020)² = 3.14 × 10⁻⁴m²

δ = 50/3.14 × 10⁻⁴ = 159.155 MPA

E(long) = Δl/l = 1.4/600 = 2.33 × 10⁻³mm/mm

Modulus of Elasticity Е = δ/ε

= 159.155 × 10⁶/2.33 × 10⁻³ = 68.306 GPA

Also final diameter d(f) = 19.9837 mm

Initial diameter d(i) = 20 mm

Poisson said that V = Е(elasticity)/Е(long)

= - <u>( 19.9837 - 20 /20)</u>

2.33 × 10⁻³

= 0.354,

∴ v = 0.354

Also G = Е/2. (1+V)

= 68.306 × 10⁹/ 2.(1+ 0.354)

= 25.34 GPA

⇒ G = 25.34 GPA

Many farms and ranches use electric fences to keep animals from getting into or out of specific pastures. When switched on, an e

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

The best material to use when creating an electric fence would be Aluminum. Aluminum wiring is incredibly durable and can be easily obtained. Since aluminum is a non-magnetic metal its conducting capabilities far exceed other metallic options in the market and is also why companies choose aluminum for their high tension cable wiring. Aside from being more expensive than other feasible options its durability and conducting capabilities make it easily the best option.

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

A sandy soil has a total unit weight of 120 pcf, a specific gravity of solids of 2.64, and a water content of 16 percent. Comput

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A). Dry unit weight = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity = 0.37

C). Void ratio = 0.593

D). 0.712

Explanation:

Total unit weight, Y = 120pcf =1922.2 Kg/m3

Specific gravity of solids, Gs = 2.64

Water content, w = 16%

A). Dry unit weight

Yd = Y/(1+w)

= 1922.2/(1+0.16) = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity

However void ratio, e = Gs×Yw/Yd, where Yw = 1000Kg/m3

Void ratio = 2.64×1000/1657.08 = 0.593

And porosity = e/(1+e) =0.593/(1+0.593) = 0.37

C). void ratio, e = 0.593

D). Degree of saturation, S = m×Gs/e where m =water content

S = 0.16×2.64/0.593 = 0.712
