Chapter 2, Problem 2.2CTP
Refer to Problem 2.C.1. Results of the sieve analysis for Soils A, B, and C are given below. To obtain a more representative sample for further geotechnical testing, a ternary blend is created by uniformly mixing 8000 kg of each soil. Answer the following questions.
a. If a sieve analysis is conducted on the mixture using the same set of sieves as shown above, compute the mass retained (as a percentage) and cumulative percent passing in each sieve.
b. What would be the uniformity coefficient (Cu) and the coefficient of gradation (Cc) of the mixture?

A major transmission pathway of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) is through droplets and aerosols produced by violent respiratory events such as sneezes and coughs (Fig. 1). For the purpose of providing public health guidelines, we would like to estimate the amount of time it takes for these droplets to settle from air to the ground. The relevant parameters are the settling time (ts), the initial height of the droplets (H), gravitational acceleration (g), density of the droplets (pa), radius of the droplets (R), as well as dynamic viscosity of the ambient air (Pair). Use dimensional analysis and the Buckingham theorem to answer the following questions: 1. Find the independent dimensionless parameters using the table method. Then, express the settling time as a function of the other relevant parameters. Your solution should match the physical intuition that the settling time scales linearly with the initial height. 2. How would the settling change if the…arrow_forward
- Question 4 An engineer is assigned to design a 25-stories office building which has a building height of 75 m. Reinforced concrete shear wall system as shown in Figure Q1(a) is adopted to resist the lateral loads. The shear wall is of thickness t = 350 mm and length L = 8.5 m. Use the following data: Young's modulus of concrete E = 28 kN/mm² and the lateral load intensity w = 1.20 kN/m². Assuming the frontal width of the building façade is 15 m is facing the wind force which in turn transmitting the wind force to the shear wall system, estimate the total value of sway A at the roof level. Question 5 For the Shear Wall in Question 4, if the total ultimate gravity load of the building acted on shear wall is 6000 KN, using a partial factor of 1.2 for the wind load, calculate the stress on the extreme right corner of the shear wall at first storey level.

- Question IV (30%): A 22 m thick normally consolidated clay layer has a load of 150 kPa applied to it over a large areal extent. The clay layer is located below a 3.5 m thick granular fill (p= 1.8 Mg/m³). A dense sandy gravel is found below the clay. The groundwater table is located at the top of the clay layer, and the submerged density of the clay soil is 0.95 Mg/m³. Consolidation tests performed on 2.20 cm thick doubly drained samples indicate the time for 50% consolidation completed as t50 = 10.5 min for a load increment close to that of the loaded clay layer. Compute the effective stress in the clay layer at a depth of 16 m below the ground surface 3.5 years after the application of the load.arrow_forward13-3.

- I have a question for this problem in the first one wouldn't it be finding the total weight of the bags which =4800lbs and the multiply that by 12ft to find the concentrated load?? but if this is the case the load would end up as lbs/ft so I'm not too sure that is right.arrow_forwardThere are 2 parts A) L=12ft B) L1= 6ft, L2= 8ftarrow_forwardto determine the bearing capacity for the given beam a=0.5 m sigma1 =150 N/mm2 and sigma2 =200N/mm2.arrow_forward
