A structural member with a rectangular cross section as shown in the accompanying figure is used to support a load of 2500 N. What type of material do you recommend be used to carry the load safely? Base your calculations on the yield strength and a factor of safety of 2.0.
Two materials, A and B, are to be separated using two unit operations, 1 and 2. The feed has 10 tons/h A and 4 tons/h B. The split (fraction of material rejected by each operation) is given in Table P5-14. a. Which sequence of operations, (l?2) or (2?1), will yield the greatest recovery of material A? b. What will be the purity of material A using that sequence? c. What will be the efficiency of separation for the entire process train with regard to material A using the Worrell-Stesed equation?
In concrete work, Fuller and Thompson (1907) suggested that a dense packing of grains can be achieved if the percent finer (p) and grain size (D) are related by the following equation, where n is a constant varying in the range of 0.3-0.6. Dmax is the size of the largest grain within the soil. p=(DDmax)n100 This equation is sometimes used in roadwork for selecting the aggregates. a. For n = 0.5, show that the soil is well graded. b. If n = 0.5 and Dmax = 19.0 mm, find the percentages of gravel, sand, and fines within the soil. Use the Unified Soil Classification System.
An existing rural 4-lane highway is to be replaced by a 6-lane divided expressway (3 lanes in each direction). Traffic volume data on the highway indicate that the AADT (both directions) during the first year of operation is 24,000 with the following vehicle mix and axle loads. Passengercars=50percent 2-axle single-unit trucks (12,000lb/axle)=40percent 3-axle single-unit trucks (16,000lb/axle)=10percent The vehicle mix is expected to remain the same throughout the design life of 20 years, although traffic is expected to grow at a rate of 3.5 percent annually. Using the AASHTO design procedure, determine the minimum depth of concrete pavement required for the design period of 20 years. Pi=4.5J=3.2Pt=2.5Cd=1.0Sc=650lb/in.2So=0.3Ec=5106lb/in.2R=95k=130lb/in.3

What is the required design strength of the Column? c. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor of 0.90? d. If allowable strength design is used, determine the required load capacity (required strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? e. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor of 1.67?
