Answer to Problem 13QP

The factor that affects the hardenability curve when having alloying elements other than carbon is explained below:

Explanation of Solution

The presence of other alloying elements (except carbon) in steel wills results less hardness.

The hardenability curve depicts the ability of the steel to be hardened. The hardenability curve is plotted with the results arrived from hardenability test. The hardenability test involves quenching as the final process, where the specimen is quenched in medium like water or oil. The process of quenching possesses the faster cooling rate that influences the hardness. The cooling rate is low at the distance from the quenched end. This low cooling rate enhances the diffusion of carbon and formation softer pearlite that may mingled with bainite and maternsite. Therefore, the hardenability of steel is increased. The other alloying elements do not encourage this activity. Thus, carbon is the only alloying element that gives more hardness and as well as hardenability whereas the other alloying element does not possess that much hardness and hardenability when compared to carbon.

Problem 1: A man-made 30 ft tall, 1.5:1 slope is to be build as shown in the figure. The soil is homogeneous with shear strength parameters c = 400 psf and φ = 290 . The moist unit weight of the soil is 119 pcf above the groundwater table and the saturated unit weight is 123 pcf below. Using the ordinary method of slices, compute the Factor of Safety (FS) along the trial failure surface shown. (Hint: Please note the unit weight is changing within the same slice.) Note 1: Use the same number of slices and dimensions as provided. Document ALL the calculations of weight (W) for each slice. Note 2: Document your solutions by following the same approach illustrated in the class, including a summary table showing all the variables and calculations involved in assessing FS.
