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?

Which of the following is true about modern hydraulic lifts?
kaheart [24]

The modern hydraulic lifts make use of biodegradable fluid to transmit hydraulic power

<em>Question: The options are left out in the question. The details and facts about the modern hydraulic lift are presented here</em>

<em />

Details about the modern hydraulic lifts include;

The development of the  modern hydraulic occurred in the Industrial Revolution to perform task done previously by steam powered elevators  

The power of the hydraulic lift come from the hydraulic cylinder known as the actuator, which in turn is powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid such as oil

The hydraulic fluid is pushed by a piston rod through which energy is capable of being transferred, such that the applied force is multiplied, to provide more power for lifting

<u>Facts about the modern hydraulic lifts include;</u>

  • The dry motor in the modern hydraulic lift is more efficient and consumes 20% less energy
  • It comprises of valves that are controlled electronically such that the response is much rapid and the energy consumption is reduced by a further 20%
  • The cars used in the modern lift are lighter, as well as the slings, which reduces the power usage by 20%
  • It makes use of chemicals which are environmentally friendly as hydraulic fluid
  • The flash point of the fluid used is higher, as well as it posses 50% lower compressibility as well elasticity
