The following are balanced interior angles to the right for a five-sided traverse. Given the Azimuth of course AB is 250°00’00”, compute and tabulate the azimuths for each side of the traverse.
A = 82°13’15” |
B = 106°35’18” |
C = 28°45’06” |
D = 205°14’56” |

Sound attenuation is an important in fabricating walls between rooms in luxury hotels. Three wall cavity fillers have been identified for use. The desired reduction in sound is based on the decibel level heard on the opposite side of a wall from the side where the sound intensity is at 88 decibels using the A weighting method. The sound heard in an adjoining room should be no more than 57 decibels. The science of sound is that sound is a wave with the magnitude of the sound measured as pressure (P). The formula for the decibel scale is 20*log(P/Pref) where Pref = 20 µPa. One µPa is equal to 10-6 Pa.
a. What is the P of 88 decibels in pascals?
b. What is the P of 57 decibels in pascals?
For this problem, sound attenuation rating of material is measured by the fraction of sound pressure that penetrates through a layer of material thickness. A material rated as 0.75 per inch means the sound intensity pressure after passing through an inch of material is 75 percent of the starting value. Sound attenuation based on this measure is geometric so if there was 2 inches of material the resultant sound pressure intensity would be the rating squared or 0.752 of the starting pressure. When sizing the thickness to meet a specified sound reduction the practice is to round up to the next quarter of inch (0.25 inch) unit. If the calculated needed thickness was 1.64 inches the rounded up dimension would be 1.75 inches and all calculations and design sizing would use that dimension. Use the data on the materials located below to answer the questions.

A 20 m thick saturated clay layer is normally consolidated. At mid-depth in this layer, the void ratio (e) is 1.110, the coefficient of compressibility (av) is 5.74 x103 cm2=N. Recall that w = 9.81 kN/m3. a) Assuming that a 122 cm lowering of the ground water table (GWT) occurs in the soil overlying the clay layer, what settlement will occur in the soil overlying the clay layer because of the ultimate primary consolidation of the clay layer? Express your answer in units of centimeters. It may be assumed that the lowering of the ground water table does not change the moisture content (and thus unit weight) in the soil above the groundwater table. NOTE: the thickness of the overlying soil layer, as well as it material properties (e.g., the unit weight) are not needed to solve this problem. b) What is the volumetric strain associated with the ultimate primary consolidation of the clay layer? Express your answer in percent (%).
