g=9.81m/s^2 When it say "preconsolidated under vertical effective stress of 130 kPa", this means that the preconsolidation pressure at the centre of the clay layer is 130 kPa, NOT that 130 kPa was applied as a surcharge at the surface. In the following questions, you do not need to divide the clay layer into multiple layers to calculate the consolidation settlement. Asume the clay to be only one layer q 50 kN/m2 3.0 m dry WT Sand: Ysat 1k -17...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
