Moisture movement in concrete is one of the factor that influencing shrinkage and creep. Elaborate this effect and how to differentiate between these properties. please i need full answer about how the moisture is a factor of shrinkage and creep . and what is the different between them...in detail

What is the Terrain Category in the Middle of Brisbane, QLD Australia and Port Headland, WA, Australia? Is it Terrain Category 1, 2, 3 or 4? I need it for my reference in getting the Wind Speed Vsit.

Thirty-six piles, 0.6 m in diameter, are spread at 2.4 m centres in a 6 x 6 group. The piles extend between depths of 3 m and 18 m in a layer of stiff clay 28 m thick, overlying rock. The undrained shear strength of the clay at a depth of 18 m is 145 KN/m² and the average value over the pile length is 105 KN/m². The following parameters have also been determined for the clay: α = 0.4, A = 0.28, E_u = 65 MN/m² and m_v = 0.08 m²/MN. If the pile group carries a load of 21 MN, determine the load factor and the total settlement.

Consider a double-pane window of size 48.56×73.55 cm. The window is framed in aluminum. If the maximum and minimum outside temperatures are 30.28 and -32.21 °C, respectively, how much gap do you need to allow between the glass panes and the frame?

Use the Hazen-Williams equation and the Manning equation to calculate the flow rate for problem 3.5.7on chapter 3 Hydraulic Engineering Systems Fourth Edition by Robert J. Houghtalen which was solved using the Darcy-Weisbach equation and yielded Q = 78.8 m^3/sec. Compare the results and discuss the differences. Assume minor losses are negligible and verify your results with computer software.

1. List three examples of new complex systems developed in the last 10 years, including their names, advanced technology used, and the societal need.

Determine the classification of a landfill that yields evaporation records of 2 200 mm per year and rainfall of 600 mm per year. The site receives only general waste from a rural community and the estimated current disposal rate is 0.80 Tons per day. The site life is expected to be 7 years.

1. Differentiate between the following;

   1. consolidation and settlement,

   2. immediate settlement and consolidation settlement.

   3. consolidation and compaction.

   4. over-consolidated soil and normally consolidated soil.

Traffic on a northbound highway segment is stationary and is composed of two families of vehicles; cars which travel at speed vc and trucks which travel at speed vt . A moving observer traveling in the opposing (i.e., southbound) direction travels a distance L in time T, L / T = v o. During this trip, the moving observer counts the number of (northbound) cars, mc, and the number of (northbound) trucks, mt, that pass her.

Derive an expression for the total flow of vehicles in the northbound direction in terms of the variables given.

The Problem involves building a 12 – foot diameter sewer at a bottom depth of 40 feet in loose sand with a water table at a depth of 8 feet. The alignment is along city streets. The project needs to be completed in 800 days. Determine the amount and types of equipment you feel should be used on this project. The sewer is ten miles in length.
