A new, wide highway embankment is planned across a relatively recent deposit of doubly-drained, saturated clay soil with cv = 5E-8 m2/sec. The settlement analysis of the 10 m thick clay layer yielded an estimated consolidation settlement of 800 mm for the new embankment loading. Determine and plot the settlement of the clay layer (as measured at the ground surface) at 0, 0.49, 3.12, 6.39, 13.44, and 18.44 years.

• Why did Eisenhower warn the American people to be cautious of the growing military-industrial complex? What concerned him?
• Do you perceive the relationship between the military and weapons/security industries to be a good thing for national security? Do you think it's a bad thing? Provide detailed reasoning for your answer.

At a open pit mine the bench height is 15m, the vertical blasthole diameter is 250mm and the rock has a specific gravity of 2.9. If ANFO with a density of 0.8g/cc is used with a square pattern where S = B, determine: 1. Burden 2. Spacing 3. Subdrill 4. Stemming length 5. Blasthole length 6. Charged length 7. Rock broken/blasthole 8. Powder factor

1. You are located downwind from two oil-burning power plants. One is located 0.3 km NE of your location and burns 1400 kg of 0.5% sulfur oil per hour. Its effective height is 60 m. The second plant is located 0.5 km NNW of you and burns 1600 kg/hr of fuel oil containing 0.75% sulfur. The effective height is 40 m. The wind is blowing from NNE at 3.3 m/s (measured at the standard height of 10 m). For a class B stability condition, what is the SO₂ concentration at your location at ground level?

A grade g1=+2.00% intersects grade g2=−1.40% at a vertex whose station and elevation are 78+60 and 7855.35 ft, respectively. An equal-tangent parabolic curve 505 ft long has been selected to join the two tangents. Compute station elevations for the curve, for stakeout at full stations.

So question. We are covering fertilizer calculations in class. we did not go over examples and i know its easy but i still get confused because one little mistake can ruin the problem. Here is the question: If the K requirement of bent grass is 1lb K/1000 ft2 per year and all 18 greens of a golf course is equal to the acreage given in Q9 ( green acres 1.8), how many lb of 0-0-60 must you purchase to meet the K needs of all greens?

1. The four primary phases of a project are

a. Concept, development, implementation, & close-out

b. Concept, exploration, design, & implementation

c. Concept, elaboration, implementation, & post-mortem

d. Concept, development, design & close-out

e. None of the above

2. MacKay was a strong supporter of the notion of the Wisdom of crowds.

True

False

3. A decision market (from the Wisdom of Crowds) is an elegant and well-designed method for capturing the collective wisdom.

True

False

2. A suspension cable has a span of 160 m and central dip of 16m. It carries a load of 5kN/m of horizontal length. Calculate the maximum and minimum tension in the cable. Find the horizontal and vertical forces in each pier under the following conditions: a) If the cable passes over frictionless rollers on the top of the pier. b) If the cable is firmly clamped to saddles on frictionless rollers on the top of piers. In each case, the back stay is inclined at 300 with the horizontal.

. Sketch the layout for a typical conventional surface water treatment plant. Label each process. Briefly describe the different water treatment processes and their basic functions.

Provide an argument for why a perfectly safe transportation system is not realistic. Support your argument with a detailed example or evidence drawn from published research. Remember to reference your sources.

list and explain briefly five disposal technologies for hazardous waste

why, how and where project management can fit into the broadly defined area of environment sector. You may focus on specific environmental issues if you so wish. These may include but not be limited to, water quality, air quality, food protection, pollution abatement, remediation technologies, etc

A water tower supplies water to a city through a pipe with 1 ft diameter. The pipe is 0.5 miles long and is made of commercial steel pipe. Over the years, the supply line lost head and engineers are considering the replacement of 94 percent of the pipe length with a larger diameter pipe (same type). The peak water demand is 3.53 ft3/sec. How much pressure head could be gained by this strategy?
