Acovered steel (unit weight = 500pcf) tank, 45ft inside diameter × 30ft high and with 0.75in. wall thickness, is filled with liquid (unit weight = 60pcf) up to a height of 29.5ft. the tank sits on a concrete (unit weight = 150pcf) foundation of diameter 46ft and thickness of 2ft. the foundation bottom is 2ft below the finished surface elevation. the soil consists of 10ft thick soft, normally consolidated marine clay above a very thick layer of gravel (> 30ft thick). the geotechnical data of the clay are cc = 0.52, cr = 0.08, cv = 0.08ft2 /year, and w = 48%. the groundwater level is 2ft below the surface. assume that the foundation is flexible and that the soil above the groundwater level is saturated.(a) make a sketch of the soil profile with the tank resting on its foundation.(b) calculate the primary consolidation settlement under the center of the completely filled tank.(c) calculate the times for 50% and 100% consolidation to occur.(d) calculate the primary consolidation settlement if the tank was loaded to half its capacity and kept there for 2 years.(e) calculate the rebound if the tank is now completely emptied.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.
