(a) At a reclamation site, a 6-m thick sand layer overlies a 5.8-m thick clay layer, which is underlain by impermeable rock stratum. The water level is initially 2.5 m above the ground surface. The saturated unit weights of sand and clay are 19 kN/m3 and 17 kN/m3, respectively. A 5-m thick layer of fill will be placed on the original ground surface, and the unit weights of fill are 19 kN/m3 and 20 kN/m3 above and below water table,...

A group of concrete piles (3×3) is driven into a uniform layer of medium dense sand, which has a unit weight of gt = A kN/m3and a friction angle of f = Bo. The water table is C m below the ground level. Each pile has a diameter of 400mm, a length of 10m. The centre-to-centre spacing of the piles is s = D m. Assume proper values for A, B, C and D. Calculate the ultimate vertical capacity of...

A clay layer in field is 3-m thick and is sandwiched between two sand layers (drained from top and bottom). The saturated stratum of clay is under a surcharge loading and underwent 90% primary consolidation in 75 days. The time required in minutes for a 30 mm thick undisturbed clay sample obtained from the field to undergo 90% consolidation in laboratory is most nearly equal to Select one: a. 28 b. 67.5 c. 100 d. 10

Matt is giving a presentation to his class about transformers. For one example he makes the following analysis: “The ratio of windings in this transformer from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit are 2:25. This makes it a step-up transformer. Since the voltage in the primary circuit is 10.0 V, the voltage in the secondary circuit will be (10.0 V)(25/2) = 125 V. The current in the primary circuit is 4.00 A, so the current in the secondary circuit...

Consider a one acre field with a 100 ft high layer of air exactly over the field. Water vapor condenses and forms a 0.1 mm layer of dew on the surface of the field. If the air temperature was 60 oF when the dew forms, what is the final temperature of this layer of air (in oF)? Assumptions and Values: • Let the surface of the field be perfectly flat. • Let the air absorb all heat from the formation...

Please find an example online (unique example) of a statistical presentation and critique it. Specifically, what is it telling you? Is it possible the data is being represented in a way to make you think in a certain direction? If so, how? If not, what areas in the presentation could be improved upon? Write a brief report (2-3 paragraphs) as if you were a consultant.
