The settlement analysis for a proposed structure indicates that the underlying clay layer will settle 7.5 cm in 3 years, and that ultimately the total settlement will be about 32 cm. However, this analysis is based on the clay layer being doubly drained. It is suspected that there may be no drainage at the bottom of the layer (i. e., clay has single drainage condition). Answer the following questions based on single drainage only, assuming cv = 1.5 x 10-4 cm 2 /s for both single and double drainage. a. How will the total settlement change from the double to the single drainage case?
b. How long will it take for 7.5 cm of settlement to occur if there is only single

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa. s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
