Tie bars of 12 mm diameter are to be provided in a concrete pavement slab. The working tensile stress of the tie bars is 230 MPa, the average bond strength between a tie bar

Q. Tie bars of 12 mm diameter are to be provided in a concrete pavement slab. The working tensile stress of the tie bars is 230 MPa, the average bond strength between a tie bar and concrete is 2 MPa, and the joint gap between the slabs is 10 mm. Ignoring the loss of bond and the tolerance factor, ...

A staff is placed on a benchmark (BM) of reduced level (RL) 100.000 m and a theodolite is placed at a horizontal distance of 50 m from the BM to measure the vertical angles

Q. A staff is placed on a benchmark (BM) of reduced level (RL) 100.000 m and a theodolite is placed at a horizontal distance of 50 m from the BM to measure the vertical angles. The measured vertical angles from the horizontal at the staff readings of 0.400 m and 2.400 m are found to be the same. ...

A wastewater is to be disinfected with 35 mg/L of chlorine to obtain 99% kill of micro- organisms. The number of micro-organisms remaining alive (Nt) at time t

Q. A wastewater is to be disinfected with 35 mg/L of chlorine to obtain 99% kill of micro- organisms. The number of micro-organisms remaining alive (Nt) at time t, is modelled by Nt = No e-kt , where No is number of micro-organisms at t = 0, and k is the rate of kill. The wastewater flow rate is ...

A 0.80 m deep bed of sand filter (length 4 m and width 3 m) is made of uniform particles (diameter = 0.40 mm, specific gravity = 2.65, shape factor = 0.85) with bed porosity of 0.4

Q. A 0.80 m deep bed of sand filter (length 4 m and width 3 m) is made of uniform particles (diameter = 0.40 mm, specific gravity = 2.65, shape factor = 0.85) with bed porosity of 0.4. The bed has to be backwashed at a flow rate of 3.60 m3/min. During backwashing, if the terminal settling velocity ...
