Abrams established a rule that relates the water-cement ratio to strength of concrete. List two additional factors that have a significant influnce on the concrete strength. Q2. Explain does why: • The transtion zone impact more rich cementitious mixtures than lean ones. • Air entrainment reduce the strength of moderate to high strength concrete yet may enhance the strength of low strength concrete. • ASTM cements Type I. III, and V have different impact on early and later strength of...

Consider an economy of only two industries, one high wage and the other low wage. Each employs the same number of workers, equally divided between two occupational groups: skilled and unskilled. Skilled workers are identical with each other in the two industries, and so are the unskilled. • The low-wage industry pays its skilled labour $10 an hour and its unskilled labour $5, during both a recession and an expansion; that is, it has a rigid wage structure. • The...

1. High Mountain produces a variety of climbing and mountaineering equipment. One of the products is a traditional three-stranded climbing robe. An important characteristic of any climbing rope is its tensile strength. High Mountain produces the three-strand rope on two separate production lines: one in Bozeman and the other in Challis. The Bozeman line has recently installed new production equipment. High Mountain regularly tests the tensile strength of its ropes by randomly selecting ropes from production and subjecting then to various...

1. Two reactors, one of them a CMBR and the other a CSTR, are operating side by side in parallel. Each is treating one half of a total flow rate of 800 gal/min containing a substance that enters at a concentration of 80 mg/L and experiences first-order degradation with a k value of 0.1/min. The reactors have identical volumes of 8000 gal, so they also have equal liquid retention times of 20 min. (a) What is the concentration of the...

A doctor has scheduled two appointments, one at 1pm and the other at 1:30pm. The amount of time the doctor spends with the patient is a constant 20 minutes plus a random amount of time which is distributed as exponential with mean 8 minutes. Assume that both patients will be on time for their appointments. What is the chance the doctor will be late for her 1:30 appointment because she spends more than 30 minutes with her 1pm appointment? On...
