Connections

In steel structures, connections are the members that join two or more steel members. The connections are the most important members of any steel structure, and hence, they are designed more carefully. The majority of the construction cost of steel structures is incurred due to the connections. The design of connections is done as per the recommendations and specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).

A constant velocity grit chamber is used in a small coastal community as a form of pre- treatment to incoming wastewater flows. The town regularly experiences a number of visitors during school holiday periods. If the usual wastewater flow is 10 ML per day, and the usual holiday period flow is 18 ML per day, design an appropriately sized grit chamber arrangement if the target grit has a diameter of 0.16 mm with a specific gravity of 2.75. Show your solutions for the following (but not necessarily in this order): 1. Determine the settling velocity for the target particle 2. Assuming a horizontal flow velocity of 0.32 m/s determine an appropriate overflow rate for the grit chamber 3. Determine an appropriate chamber length and cross sectional area and draw figures 4. Comment on how you could accommodate for the seasonal fluctuations in flows.
What does the values of the strength envelope from the consolidated–drained (C–D) test series indicate?
trapezoidal section constant velocity horizontal flow grit channel is discharging unacceptable amounts of grit into the primary facultative pond of a stabilization pond. In addition the channel overtops regularly with peak wet weather flow during normal rain storms. An initial investigation confirmed levels of grit present in the particular wastewater to be within normal loading levels. Furthermore, the provision for grit storage capacity in the channel is adequate for the operational cleaning-out cycle employed.According to the authorities, the likely cause of the grit discharge problem is that the channel length is inadequate for settling out the nominal particle size required.Assume 1. Average dry weather flow (ADWF) = 5000m3/day 2. Peak dry weather flow (PDWF) =13000 m3 /day 3. Peak wet weather flow (PWWF) = 15600 m3 /day 4. For settling out particles ≥ 0.20mm with a constant horizontal flow velocity of 0.3 m/s, the required channel length (L) is given by L=15d 5. The existing grit…
A surcharge and sand drain installation is proposed for an airport project to accelerate the consolidation of a thick deposit of fine-grained soil underlying the construction area. The plan is to install sand drains 1.5 ft in diameter at a staggered spacing so that each sand drain will handle a plan area 15 ft in diameter. Laboratory tests indicate that the coefficient of consolidation for horizontal drainage of the soil is 0.5 ft2/day. Computations indicate that the surcharge load will cause an eventual settlement of 12 in. How long a period will be required for 90 percent of this settlement to take place?
Define and explain briefly Over Consolidation Ratio (OCR) with the help of example.
A surcharge of 100 kPa is applied over a large area above the soil profile shown in the figure below. Calculate the coefficient of consolidation in mm2/min if an average degree of consolidation of 30% was measured on site 90 days after the start of the loading event. (acceptable tolerance = 10%).
