Acovered steel (unit weight = 500pcf) tank, 45ft inside diameter × 30ft high and with 0.75in. wall thickness, is filled with liquid (unit weight = 60pcf) up to a height of 29.5ft. the tank sits on a concrete (unit weight = 150pcf) foundation of diameter 46ft and thickness of 2ft. the foundation bottom is 2ft below the finished surface elevation. the soil consists of 10ft thick soft, normally consolidated marine clay above a very thick layer of gravel (> 30ft thick). the geotechnical data of the clay are cc = 0.52, cr = 0.08, cv = 0.08ft2 /year, and w = 48%. the groundwater level is 2ft below the surface. assume that the foundation is flexible and that the soil above the groundwater level is saturated.(a) make a sketch of the soil profile with the tank resting on its foundation.(b) calculate the primary consolidation settlement under the center of the completely filled tank.(c) calculate the times for 50% and 100% consolidation to occur.(d) calculate the primary consolidation settlement if the tank was loaded to half its capacity and kept there for 2 years.(e) calculate the rebound if the tank is now completely emptied.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?

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)
