Assignment No. 3 CE 332: Geotechnical Engineering 1. Calculate the vertical stress in a soil mass at a depth of 5m vertically below a point load of 5000 KN acting near the surface. Plot the variation of vertical stress with radial distance (up to 10 m) at a depth of 5 m. 2. Three point loads 10000 KN‚ 7500 KN and 9000 KN‚ act in line 5 m apart near the surface of soil mass. Calculate the vertical stress at a depth of 4 m vertically below the centre (7500 KN) load. 3. Determine the vertical

Samuel Haynes English 1101 – Mechanical Engineering Professor Raymond October 15‚ 2012 ME At the start of the Industrial Revolution‚ in the 18th century the steam engine was first produced. From this production it gave an enormous start to all machinery of any type and every type. As a result‚ a new major classification of engineering was formed due to the intuition of machines and tools being developed. Soon after this‚ the Institution of Mechanical Engineers was founded in Birmingham‚ England

Control Mechanisms of Wal-Mart � PAGE * MERGEFORMAT �3� Control Mechanisms of Wal-Mart Without the effectiveness of control‚ the successes of most companies would be easily faltered. Wal-Mart‚ being one of the World’s largest retail chains‚ has established itself as a global leader‚ and not without having a defined plan of action. Through varying efforts and countless control regulation‚ this retail giant has secured itself within the industry. Throughout this paper‚ an address will be made to

The engineering field I have chosen is Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical engineering is a very broad field; mechanical engineers have the opportunity to work in a wide spectrum of fields. Some mechanical engineers can work for a company testing and improving upon their products. Mechanical engineers love to take things apart and to find out how they work. This being the basis for mechanical engineering it gives a mechanical engineer many options so you won’t ever be bored. Mechanical Engineers rely

AB140: Introduction to Management Unit 6 Assignment When operating a successful business there must be a type of control system to assure the organization is kept together and headed in the right direction to accomplish achievements and/ or goals. A control system consists of four steps that must correlate to sustain balance within the organization. The four steps of control consist of setting performance settings‚ measuring performance‚ likening performance against the standards and determining

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: THE ROLE OF ENGINEERING IN SOCIETY S.P. Nichols and W.F. Weldon Center for Electromechanics‚ The University of Texas at Austin‚ USA Keywords: professional responsibility‚ engineering ethics‚ engineering responsibility. Abstract We argue that the practice of engineering does not exist outside the domain of societal interests. That is‚ the practice of engineering has an inherent (and unavoidable) impact on society. Engineering is based upon that relationship with society

did I choose Computer Programing Engineering major? In today’s world there exist all sorts of challenges to excite the keenest minds around its surroundings. To meet these challenges one would have to invent new techniques‚ new instruments and new approaches‚ which could easily open windows into the unknown area of nature and lead us to work at frontiers of science and contribute to world stock of knowledge. To compete with these scientific advances‚ engineering and scientific study are the key
