Compare the three types of legal structure: proprietorship, partnership and corporation.

A Normally Consolidated 10 Ft. clay layer is surcharged, which causes a decrease in thickness. The coefficient of consolidation is 0.16 ft^2/day and the time factor is 1.2 for U=50%. The clay layer is confined between 2 layers of dense sand. The time (days) required for 50% consolidation is most nearly?

This is a question from a practice FE exam. The reference book and the solution to this leaves out some information. The equation is Tv=Cv(t)/Hdr^2)

The solution has Hdr=5 ft. Why is that?

1. A wastewater plant with the activated sludge process received 5 × 10⁶ L/day of wastewater with a BOD₅ of 500 mg/L. The primary clarifier removes 30% of the BOD and primary clarify effluent has no biomass (Xi=0 mg/L). Recycle (Q_r) and waste sludge (Q_w) flows are 25% and 2% of Qin, respectively. Effluent BOD₅ from secondary clarifier and waste sludge is 20 mg/L. Microorganism concentration in the waste sludge (X_w) is 6,000 mg/L. Soluble BOD₅ is biologically converted into CO₂ and Y (yield coefficient) is 0.5 mgVSS /mgBOD
2. 1. Calculate the value of X and the volume of the tank

By sketching the stress-strain curves for concrete and reinforcement steel, explain the philosophy of idealization the characteristic strength for concrete and reinforcement steel so to be used in reinforced concrete design. Elaborate the importance of such idealization in design.

A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 3.25 m and sides with a slope of 1 vertical

to 1.5 horizontal. The slope of the bed is 1 in 2000 and the depth of water is 1.2 m.
a) Using the Manning Formula with n = 0.025, calculate the velocity and

the discharge rate of the flow.

2. b) Calculate the Chezy number for the channel and use that to re- calculate the velocity and the discharge rate of the flow.

3. c) If the channel had a Chezy number of 42 state the effect on the velocity and discharge and explain why this would occur.

A pontoon is used on a river to transfer materials to a barge. The pontoon is constructed from high density polyethylene and has a mass of 40 tonnes. The dimensions of the pontoon are 19 m long x 10m wide x 0.75m high.

a) What is the freeboard of the pontoon when it is floating in the river?

b) What additional mass (tonnes) can the pontoon carry if a maximum draught of 0.45m is available?

c) If the additional mass is to be carried as sand (density 1600kg/m3) in a container 6 m long and 5m wide, how deep a layer of sand can be carried? If instead of sand, the pontoon is to carry bentonite at a density of 2600kg/m3, what depth can be carried?

What is the best way for senior project managers to ensure that all the financial aspects of a project are completed and documented

(A) What Type of Analysis (e.g. Consolidated-Drained (CD), or Consolidated-Undrained(CU) or Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU))? BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHY and(B) What Type of Failure Envelope would you pick for the Cases (a) and (b) shown below? BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHY
Case (a): A new footing is founded in Unsaturated Loose Sand (Contractive Soil).Case (b): An existing dam is founded on Dense Silt (Dilative Soil). Then the dam is
suddenly shaken and sheared by an Earthquake.

Velocity potential function in the velocity field is given asØ=1axyt:a-Is the flow compressible ?(3p)b-Show the flow is steady ornot?(3p)c-In this flow field, find the resultant velocity and acceleration and their components at point A(8,8) at time t=1.(5p)d-Find the stream function for this flow.(7p)e-If the particle passing through the point (x0, y0)=(8, 8) is marked at time t=0, determine the location of the particle at time t=4s.(7p)

General properties of discontinuity planes and their effects on rock mass quality
also explain by specifying (such as the frequency of discontinuity and the effect of the number of sets on the block size).

Hello! I am learning abaqus currently, but I do not know what the Analytic field is! Can you tell me what is it? And how to use it with some examples! Thank in advance! I will thumb you up!
