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?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

B only

Explanation:

Squeeze-type resistance spot welding (STRSW)is a type of electric resistance welding that brings about the weld on interfacing sheet metal pieces through which heat generated from electric resistance bring about fusion and welding of the two pieces together

Therefore, it is not meant for opening but joints but it can be used for making replacement spot welds adjacent to the original spot weld due to the smaller heat affected zone (HAZ) created by the STRSW process.

If welding is being done in the vertical position, the torch should have a travel angle of?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Between 35°– 45°

Explanation:

In the vertical position, Point the flame in the direction of travel. Keep the flame tip at the correct height above the base metal. An angle of 35°–45° should be maintained between the torch tip and the base metal. This angle may be varied up or down to heat or cool the weld pool if it is too narrow or too wide

Which branch of engineering studies the physical behavior of metallic elements?
olga55 [171]

Material engineering studies the physical behavior of metallic elements.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Material Engineering is the creation and learning about the materials at an atomic level. An engineers from this branch focus on material and model its characteristics using the computer.

Also, they combine the knowledge of solid-states, metallurgy, chemistry and ceramics to the application level. It also has a great role in building the future with the advancing study in nanotechnology, biotechnology, etc. Simply, these are meant to have vivid applications in future life.
