What is Group index of soil and how do you find it?

Answer»

Group Index is a number assigned to the soil BASED on its PHYSICAL properties like particle size, Liquid LIMIT and plastic limit. It VARIES from a value of 0 to 20, lower the value higher is the quality of the sub-grade and greater the value, poor is the sub-grade.

By sieve analysis test we can determine Group index value of soil SUBGRADE from below equation

GI = 0.2a + 0.005 ac + 0.01bd

Where,

a= percentage of soil passing 0.074 mm sieve in excess of 35 per cent, not exceeding 75.

b= percentage of soil passing 0.074 mm sieve in excess of 15 per cent, not exceeding 55.

c= Liquid limit in per cent in excess of 40.

d= Plasticity index in excess of 10.

Definition of ‘quality factor q' of inductor and capacitor

Answer»

Answer:

The Q-factor or the QUALITY factor of a CAPACITOR at the operating frequency ω is defined as the ratio of the reactance of the capacitor to its series resistance. Thus, In this case also, the Q is a dimensionless QUANTITY since the unit of both reactance and resistance is the same and it is Ohm.

Answer»

So what is the QUESTION,PLEASE WRITE LITTLE CAREFULLY .

27.

Plzzz guys answer them all and u will be rewarded 100 points

Answer»

Urn A ---->  6R + 4W = 10 Balls

Urn B ---->  2R + 6W = 8 Balls 

Urn C ---->  1R + 5W = 6 Balls

 

E1 = The ball is selected from urn A

E2 = The ball is selected from urn B

E3 = The ball is selected from urn C

 

Therefore P(E1) = P(E2) = P(E3) = 1/3

Let A = drawing a red ball.

so,  P(A/E1) = 6/10 

   P(A/E2) = 2/8 

    P(A/E3) = 1/6

 

By Baye's Theorem

Required Probability = P(E1/A)

 ----------------------- > = ( 1/3 * 6/10 )  /  (  1/3 * 6/10 +  1/3 * 2/8  +  1/3  * 1/6 )

-------------------------->  = 36/61

How equivalent single wheel load influence the design of pavement?

Answer»

Equivalent single wheel loadTo carry maximum load with in the specified limit and to carry greater load, dual wheel, or dual tandem assembly is OFTEN used. Equivalent single wheel load (ESWL) is the single wheel load having the same contact pressure, which produces same VALUE of maximum stress, deflection, tensile stress or contact pressure at the desired depth. The procedure of finding the ESWL for equal stress criteria is PROVIDED below. This is a semi-rational method, known as Boyd and Foster method, based on the following ASSUMPTIONS:equalancy concept is based on equal stress;contact area is circular;influence angle is 45; andsoil medium is elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic half space.The ESWL is GIVEN by: 

  (1)


where  is the wheel load,  is the center to center distance between the two wheels,  is the clear distance between two wheels, and  is the desired depth.

Write a short note on Mechanical counters in Traffic Volume Study.

Answer»

Traffic count is a count of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, which is conducted along a particular road, path, or intersection. A traffic count is commonly undertaken either automatically (with the installation of a temporary or permanent electronic traffic recording device), or MANUALLY by observers who visually count and record traffic on a hand-held electronic device or tally sheet.[1]Traffic counts can be used by local councils to identify which routes are used most, and to either improve that road or PROVIDE an alternative if there is an excessive amount of traffic. Also, some geography fieldworkinvolves a traffic count. Traffic counts provide the source data used to calculate the ANNUAL Average Daily Traffic (AADT), which is the common indicator used to represent traffic volume. Traffic counts are USEFUL for comparing two or more roads, and can also be used alongside other methods to find out where the central business district (CBD) of a settlement is located. Traffic counts that include speeds are used in speed limit enforcement efforts, highlighting peak speeding periods to optimise speed camera use and educational efforts.

Discuss road margin with neat sketches.

Answer»

The formation width except carriage ways. In other words, shoulder is the part of the pavement which is non-surfaced. They are used by the vehicular traffic as the emergency lanes or sometimes as the service lanes for the repairing of the non-expected problems. IRC recommends a minimum value 2.5 m for the shoulders for two lane rural roads. A width of 4.6 m is recommended so that a truck can be accommodated without interfering with the adjacent lane. 

Footpaths: Foot paths or pedestrian paths are the smoothly paved paths used by the pedestrians to walk parallel to the pavements. Footpaths are smoothly surfaced in order to attract the pedestrians to walk over them. Footpaths are necessary where the pedestrian traffic is considerable.Cycle-tracks: Cycle tracks are PROVIDED to carry the cyclists. They are generally provided in the urban roads where the design SPEED is very high and it becomes necessary to separate the high speed traffic from the LOW speed traffic. Minimum of 2 m width is recommended for single lane and 1 m is added for constructing the extra lanes of the cycle tracks.Frontage Paths: They are provided in front of the commercial buildings where it becomes a necessity. In urban areas they are provided with the dividers to separate from the vehicular lanes.Drive-ways: Drive ways are provided to reach the buildings like fuel pumps or service centers. Drive ways should have a less width as much as possible because they are hindrance to the pedestrian traffic travelling along the foot-paths.Lay Byes: Lay Byes are the paved areas provided at some places on the sides of the lanes for providing a STOPPAGE for the vehicles. Parking Lanes: They are provided for parking the vehicular traffic generally needed in the market centers or the urban areas. Parallel parking is recommended in order to avoid the hindrance to the traffic and a minimum of 3 m parking lane is recommended.
