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?

Calculate total hole mobility if the hole mobility due to lattice scattering is 50 cm2 /Vsec and the hole mobility due to ionize
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The total hole mobility is 41.67 cm²/V s

Explanation:

Data given by the exercise:

hole mobility due to lattice scattering = ul = 50 cm²/V s

hole mobility due to ionized impurity = ui = 250 cm²/V s

The total mobility is equal:

\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{ul} +\frac{1}{ui} \\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{50} +\frac{1}{250} \\u=41.67cm^{2} /Vs

Briefly explain why small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle gra
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle grain boundaries because there is not as much crystallographic misalignment in the grain boundary region for small-angle, and therefore not as much change in slip direction.

Low angle grain boundaries (quasi-coherent) are formed by the dislocation network positioned along the geometric plane with small tilt angle differences between successive peers that is tilt boundary made up edge dislocations therefore it may only divert the slip direction of the incoming gliding dislocation with very little frictional stresses. And on the other hand, a high angle grain boundary region because of their disordered almost liquid like structure which acts as a strong barrier against dislocation slip motion and causes actually formation of dislocations file-up against it by arresting their motion unless that the stress concentration at the leading dislocation becomes high enough to go though the barrier.

On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 required 22,300 kg of jet fuel to fly from Montreal to Edmonton. The density of jet fuel
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

20, 083 L

Explanation:

The mistake was the result of not using units when converting the 7862 l to Kg. They used the density in pounds hence they multiplied by 1.77 Lb/L and obtained 13597 Lb not Kg as they assumed.

To obtain the amount needed to refuel they subtracted this quantity from the 22,300 Kg required for the trip again obtaining the wrong quantity of 8703 Kg and they converted this to liters by dividing the density to get 4916 L and then placed then 5000 L of fuel

The quantity required was

7862 L * 1.77 Lb/L = 13915.74 Lb (pounds not kilos)

then converting this pounds to Kg by multiplying by  0.454 Kg/L one gets

6173 Kg on board

Amount Required

( 22,300 -6173)  :  16127 Kg

16127 Kg/ 0.803 Kg/L =  20083 L
