(a) Briefly explain Mohr-Coulomb theory and show how we can determine the shear strength parameters of soil by plotting the shear stress versus normal stress. [3 marks] The following results were obtained from a consolidated undrained Triaxial (CU) test with pore water pressure measurement on three samples of a fully saturated clay. Determine the total (undrained) stress and effective (drained) stress parameters. [12 marks] Sample Cell pressure (kN/m2) Deviator stress at failure (kN/m2) Pore pressure at failure (kN/m2) A 300...

***Shear strength-11: Use of the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope. (Revised Oct-09) Samples have been obtained from both soil strata shown in the figure below. A series of shear strength tests were then performed on both samples and plotted in diagrams below. The e' and ' values obtained from these diagrams are shown in the figure below. Using this data, compute the shear strength on the horizontal and vertical planes at points A, B, and C. Sand and grows KN...

This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects.

Can you please explain in simple terms the methods of this experiment? I'm having difficulty visualizing and understanding what is being done. I have copied and pasted some of the text from the article. Thank you! Abstract : Obesity, high-fat diets, and subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are associated with cognitive impairment. Moreover, T2DM increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and leads to abnormal elevation of brain beta-amyloid levels, one of the hallmarks of AD. The psychoactive alkaloid caffeine...

Can Dogs Understand Human Cues? EXPLORATION Dogs have been domesticated for about 14,000 years. In that time, have they been able to develop an understanding of human gestures such as pointing or glancing? How about simi lar nonhuman cues? Researchers Udell, Giglio, and Wynne tested a small number of dogs in order to answer these questions. In this exploration, we wll first see whether dogs can understand human gestures as well as nonhuman gestures. To test this, the researchers positioned...
