3. Amaterial has a mass of 95 g and 68 g before and after abrasion, respectively. If the abrasive

ratio of 1.85, find the area of abrasion

Given: Four-25-mm-diameter rivets with an axial load of

T = 75 kN distributed equally as shown. The thickness of

the plates is 25 mm and width of plate is 150 mm.

find (a) the shear stress on the rivets

(b) the bearing stress between a plate and a rivet;

(c) the minimum average tensile stress in each plate.

Determine the gross area of steel needed to design

the bar force members at BC, BE, and AE.

Stress in steel is A36 = 36 ksi

Analyze all loaded structures below using the consistent deformation method. Before commencing with the calculations, identify first the respective degree of indeterminacy.

Then draw the shear and moment diagram.

The width at upstream of the channel and width at the throat are 2.5m and 1.5m.

i) calculate flow rate in the channel using continuity and specific energy principles.

ii) calculate specific energy at constriction where z = 0.122

iii)if depth at the constriction is critical depth, determine new flow rate.

Given a rectangular column of dimension 650X450 mm is required to support axial dead load is 815 kN, axial live load is 680 kN, dead load moment is110 kN.m and live load moment is135 kN.m acting on the major axis. All loads in service condition. Concrete compressive strength is 27.6 MPa, steel yield strength is 410. Assume longitudinal reinforcement bar diameter 25mm and ties diameter is 12mm

By using ACI interaction diagram design the required longitudinal reinforcement

Design the required ties and sketch the column section with all necessary details

We cannot rule out that transformational leaders. who are not driven by ethical values, hold the power to exploit the motivation of value-driven followers for their own profit; a phenomenon corresponding to pseudo-transformational leadership or the ‘dark side’ of transformational leader- ship.” (Braun et al., 2013, p.28
