Chapter 6, Problem 6.1QP
What ingredients are used for the production of portland cement?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What the ingredients that are used for the production of Portland cement.
Explanation of Solution
Portland cement:
It is a cement factory-made from clay and chalk which hardens under water and when hard resembles Portland stone in color.
The two basic raw ingredients are listed as follows:
- Calcareous material
- Argillaceous material
Calcareous material:
The calcareous material is a calcium oxide, such as chalk, oyster shells, or limestone.
Argillaceous material:
It is a mixture of alumina and silica that can be acquired from shale, clay, and blast furnace slag.

Bars AD and CE (E=105 GPa, a = 20.9×10-6 °C) support a rigid bar
ABC carrying a linearly increasing distributed load as shown. The
temperature of Bar CE was then raised by 40°C while the temperature of Bar
AD remained unchanged. If Bar AD has a cross-sectional area of 200 mm²
while CE has 150 mm², determine the following: the normal force in bar AD, the
normal force in bar CE, and the vertical displacement at Point A.

Draw the updated network. Calculate the new project completion date. Check if there are changes to the completion date and/or to the critical path. Mention the causes for such changes, if any.
New network based on the new information received after 15 days (Correct calculations, professionally done).
Mention if critical path changes or extended.
Write causes for change in critical path or extension in the critical path.

- The single degree of freedom system shown in Figure 3 is at its undeformed position. The SDOF system consists of a rigid beam that is massless. The rigid beam has a pinned (i.e., zero moment) connection to the wall (left end) and it supports a mass m on its right end. The rigid beam is supported by two springs. Both springs have the same stiffness k. The first spring is located at distance L/4 from the left support, where L is the length of the rigid beam. The second spring is located at distance L from the left support.arrow_forwardFor the system shown in Figure 2, u(t) and y(t) denote the absolute displacements of Building A and Building B, respectively.
