An unknown relative passes away and bequeaths upon you a small tract of land in Amherst. You decide to build a two-story storage

facility to make the best of your bequest. But your self-storage dream is in jeopardy due to a 10 meter thick layer of soft clay (N<4) on the site. You put on your best geotechnical engineer hat, hire a driller to pull up some samples, and send them off to a lab for a consolidation test. The report indicates that the clay is a dark grey, slightly sweet, kaolinite blend with a cy = 1x10-7 mº/s, single-drained, and an ultimate settlement of 0.73 meters. It does not make financial sense to install deep foundations, so you are interested in how long it will take to consolidate the clay layer using a passive load.
How long will it take for settlements of 25, 50, and 65 cm to occur?
If you need to build within the next 12 months and have at least 65cm of settlement to be viable, does it make sense to proceed?

A copper-nickel alloy of composition 60 wt% Ni-40 wt% Cu is slowly heated from a temperature of 1250°C (2280 °F). (a) At what te
makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. The very first liquid process, when heated from 1250 degree Celsius, is expected to form at the temperature by which the vertical line crosses the phase boundary (a -(a + L)) which is about <em>1310 degree Celsius. </em>

b. The structure of that first liquid is identified by the intersection with ((a+ L)-L) phase boundary; <em>47wt %of Ni</em> is of a tie line formed across the (a+ L) phase area <em>at 1310 degrees.</em>

c. To find the alloy's full melting, it is determined that the intersection of the same vertical line at 60 wt percent Ni with (a -(a+L)) phase boundary is around <em>1350 degrees.</em>

c. The structure of the last remaining solid before full melting correlates to the intersection with the phase boundary (a -(a + L), of the tie line built at 1350 degrees across the (a + L) phase area, <em>being 72wt % of Ni.</em>
