Answer the following either true (T) or false (F) (5 pts)
A geotechnical engineer made a preliminary settlement analysis for a foundation of an office building that is to be constructed at a location where the soil strata contain a compressible clay layer. She calculated 50 mm of primary consolidation settlement. The building will impose an average vertical stress of 150 kPa in the clay layer. As often happens in design practice, design changes are required. In this case, the actual thickness of the clay is 30% more than the original soil profile indicated. The estimated new primary consolidation settlement will also be 30% more and equal to 65 mm.
A foundation with an inclined load will tend to have a smaller bearing capacity than the same foundation with a vertical load.
Secondary settlement of a foundation is caused by a constant applied stress.
Consolidation can be defined as the reduction in soil volume due to the expulsion of water following loading.
Dense sand and undrained clay soils tend to experience punching shear failure.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
