Answer:
The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.
Explanation:
Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil
The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula
where
'H' is the initial depth of the layer
is the Compression index
is the inital void ratio
is the initial effective stress at the depth
is the change in the effective stress at the given depth
Applying the given values we get
Answer:
Weight of cement = 10968 lb
Weight of sand = 18105.9 lb
Weight of gravel = 28203.55 lb
Weight of water = 5484 lb
Explanation:
Given:
Entrained air = 7.5%
Length, L = 40 ft
Width,w = 12 ft
thickness,b= 6 inch, convert to ft = 6/12 = 0.5 ft
Specific gravity of sand = 2.60
Specific gravity of gravel = 2.70
The volume will be:
40 * 12 * 0.5 = 240 ft³
We need to find the dry volume of concrete.
Dry volume = wet volume * 1.54 (concrete)
Dry volume will be = 240 * 1.54 = 360ft³
Due to the 7% entarained air content, the required volume will be:
V = 360 * (1 - 0.07)
V = 334.8 ft³
At a ratio of 1:2:3 for cement, sand, and gravel respectively, we have:
Total of ratio = 1+2+3 = 6
Their respective volume will be =
Volume of cement =
Volume of sand =
Volume of gravel =
To find the pounds needed the driveway, we have:
Weight = volume *specific gravity * density of water
Specific gravity of cement = 3.15
Weight of cement =
55.8 * 3.15 * 62.4 = 10968 pounds
Weight of sand =
111.6 * 2.60 * 62.4 = 18105.9 lb
Weight of gravel =
167.4 * 2.7 * 62.4 = 28203.55 lb
Given water to cement ratio of 0.50
Weight of water = 0.5 of weight of cement
= 1/2 * 10968 = 5484 lb
