The bolt is made of 2014-T6 aluminum alloy and is tightened so it compresses a cylindrical tube made of Am 1004-T61 magnesium alloy. The tube has an outer radius of 10 mm, and both the inner radius of the tube and the radius of the bolt are 5 mm. The washers at the top and bottom of the tube are considered to be rigid and have a negligible thickness. Once snug against the washers, the nut is tightened a full turn. If the bolt has 10 threads per centimeter, determine the stress in the bolt.

A sample of soil was tested; the results were
void ratio e = 1.024
moisture content w = 33.4%
specific gravity of solids Gs = 2.75
Using a phase diagram, determine the following:
a) The soil's bulk, dry and saturated unit weights, and degree of
saturation;
b) The volume of air void in 1m^3 of this soil; and
c) The weight of water required to fully saturate the 1m^3 soil

Sanitation (fresh water in, human waste out) is the earliest known form of human leaders/governments taking a hand in issues of waste/pollution. Why do you think it was sanitation, as opposed to other wastes we've examined, that got the government involved? Do you think access to sanitation (clean water and a toilet) should be considered a human right, meaning that governments are obligated to provide it even to people who can't afford it?

n earthwork contract requires to cut and move excavated rocks. The site is a typical limestone rock formation in a cut section, which is 15,000 ft long, 85 ft wide, and 3 ft deep. Seismographic tests indicate a seismic wave velocity of 5,000 fps for the rock layer material. The contractor proposes to rip the rock with a 370-hp crawler tractor. Answer the following questions.
As a Construction Manager for this site development project, prepare detailed cost estimate for the project, and bid documents.
Assume 10% time value cost of money, bonds, insurance, and storage over total direct cost, contingency at 2% of total direct cost, indirect overhead cost at 5% of total direct cost (additional on top of the equipment and operator costs), and 10% fee (on subtotal total of direct and indirect cost).

An earthwork contract requires to cut and move excavated rocks.
The site is a typical limestone rock formation in a cut section,
which is 15,000 ft long, 85 ft wide, and 3 ft deep. Seismographic
tests indicate a seismic wave velocity of 5,000 fps for the rock
layer material. The contractor proposes to rip the rock with a
370-hp crawler tractor. Answer the following questions.
What is the total duration of the rock cut project assuming 10
hours per day work?
