Answer to Problem 48P

The relative magnitudes of modulus of elasticity of steel to given materials are tabulated in Table 1.

Explanation of Solution

The values of modulus of elasticity for the given materials are taken from table 10.5 in the text book.

The modulus of elasticity of steel Esteel is 200 GPa.

Determining the average modulus of elasticity value for aluminum alloy is,

Average = 70+792=74.5

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=20074.5=2.7

Determining the average modulus of elasticity value for copper alloy is,

Average = 110+1202=115

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=200115=1.74

Determining the average modulus of elasticity for titanium alloy is,

Average = 100+1202=110

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=200110=1.8

Determining the average modulus of elasticity for rubber is,

Average = 0.0007+0.0042=0.002

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=2000.002=100,000

Determining the average modulus of elasticity for steel is,

Average = 190+2102=200

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=200200=1

Determining the average modulus of elasticity for Douglas fir is,

Average = 11+132=12

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=20012=16.7

Determining the average modulus of elasticity for oak is,

Average = 11+122=11.5

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=20011.5=17.3

Determining the average modulus of elasticity for Southern Pine is,

Average = 11+142=12.5

relative magnitude=Esteelaverage=20012.5=16

Thus, the determined relative magnitudes of modulus of elasticity of steel to given materials are tabulated in table 1.

The Table 1 shows the material, modulus of elasticity, and the relative magnitudes of modulus of elasticity of steel.

Part 3: Problem-Solving. Solve the following problems. Show all calculations. 1.

Assume the soil is cohesionless. a) Determine the earth pressure on the wall. b) Find the total active pressure if surcharge of 14 kPa is applied on the surface of horizontal backfill. c) Locate the position of the total pressure from the bottom.
Question 3 (20 points): The traffic volume on a 2-lane highway is 1600 veh/hr in each direction Page 3 of 6 with a density of 20 veh/mi. A large dump truck enters the traffic stream from an adjacent construction site at 20 mph and carries on this way for 2 miles before turning off to the dump site. Because flow is so high in the opposite direction, no one can pass the truck. As a result, traffic back up behind the truck at four times the density (i.e., 4x20 = 80 veh/mi) at a volume of 1000 veh/hr. How many vehicles get caught in the traffic congestion before the truck exits the highway?
How can construction project managers find a balance between speeding up schedules and the risks of making more mistakes and needing rework, especially when using methods like fast tracking?
