Skempton's pore pressure parameters A and B are used to check the saturation of the sample. As when the sample is fully saturated if we increase the cell pressure there will be same amount of increment in the pore pressure too. The reason behind this is that the system acts more like a confined bulb . Similarly the parameter A gives the change in the pore pressure as we increase the deviatoric stress

What is the normal water pressure before the pressure reduction valve?
There is no such thing as normal water pressure, it is changing all the time due to demand in the water distribution system. If a PRV is needed then the pressure is higher upstream than is wanted.
Would you expect the suction in the soil to be 0 at any time?
Soil suction is zero at the phreatic surface. This is the point where the pore water pressure is equal to the pore air pressure. Above this surface pore water pressure becomes increasingly negative compared to pore air pressure and as such matric suctions develop. Below the phreatic surface the pore water pressure becomes increasingly positive and the pore spaces are totally saturated.
Abnormal load on an earth dam is?
The abnormal load on the earth dam is the water pressure on the upstream side.Loads acting on dams are hydrostatic pressure, self weight, seismic loads.
Advantages of Steel versus concrete tanks?
Concrete water tank has rough surface so collects dirt and bacteria.It's base line cracks result in water contamination. And flat bottom will not allow complete drainage of hose pressure water with chemicals resulting in contamination of incoming water.So chlorine causes degradation of the tank surface that provides room for bacteria growth.
Do you need to apply a waterproofing agent like Tuff n Dri to a below grade retaining wall if 5000 psi concrete is used?
the 5,000 psi is the amount of pressure the concrete can withstand before it will crush. it has nothing to do with water proofing. to find out if you need water proofing you need to know how poores the concrete is and how quickly the ground out side will drain water. it only takes about 6 psi for water to penatrate most concrete walls, it is more a matter how long the water is alowed to stay against the wall, there for how far through the concrete it can penatrate if you have a good working drain you will most likely never need water proofing. but if you dont own a backhoe it is far cheaper to put it on the outside before the hole is filled.
Which parameter is not change when sound is goes air to water?
Speed is that parameter which doesn't change.
Can plant cells have negative turgar pressure values?
Yes, plant cells can have negative turgor pressure values when there is water loss through transpiration or when the cell loses water due to osmotic gradients. This can cause the cell to plasmolyze or shrink, resulting in negative turgor pressure.
What is the water pressure formula and how can it be used to calculate the pressure in a given system?
The water pressure formula is P gh, where P is the pressure, is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the water column. This formula can be used to calculate the pressure in a given system by plugging in the values for density, gravity, and height of the water column.
What is quality parameter?
A quality parameter is a measuring device used to measure rivers, lakes, and ground water. This device can measure the way these bodies of water change.
How to calculate water pressure at depth?
To calculate water pressure at a certain depth, you can use the formula: Pressure density of water x gravity x depth. The density of water is typically 1000 kg/m3, and gravity is 9.81 m/s2. Multiply these values by the depth in meters to find the water pressure in pascals.
How do you calculate pressure under water?
To calculate pressure underwater, you can use the formula: pressure density of water x gravity x depth. This formula takes into account the density of water, the acceleration due to gravity, and the depth of the water. By plugging in the values for these variables, you can determine the pressure at a specific depth underwater.
What is the mass of 1.0 milliliter of water?
If the water is pure, and the temperature and pressure are both at standard values,then the mass of one milliliter of water is 1 gram.
How can you calculate water pressure based on the flow rate?
To calculate water pressure based on the flow rate, you can use the formula: Pressure Flow Rate x Density x Gravity x Height. This formula takes into account the flow rate of the water, the density of water, the acceleration due to gravity, and the height of the water column. By plugging in the values for these variables, you can determine the water pressure.
What is the water pressure at a depth of 30 meters in pascals?
The water pressure at a depth of 30 meters can be calculated using the formula P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth. Assuming standard values, the water pressure at a depth of 30 meters is approximately 294,300 Pascals.
What is a derivative control?
Derivative control applied in control engineering, usually for the operation of control valves and its importance came during valve tuning. Derivative control is popularly known as anticipatory control. ( controller starts its control action, by anticipating the trend of present value (PV) of parameter.) Derivative control anticipates parameter values and and it will take control action to control the parameter with in set point. Eg: In a water heating system, water temperature is controlled by controlling steam valve opening. Let set point for water is 80°C, and derivative control will check the status of water temperature and if it is slowly increasing range ( may be due to some load change), controller will starts to control temperature by slowly closing steam valve. ( and vice versa) Actually this type control action just observe at control parameter values and initiates control action.
What is dyanamic pressure?
Dynamic pressure is the force exerted by a fluid in motion, such as air or water, on an object moving through it. It is defined as 0.5 times the fluid density times the flow velocity squared. Dynamic pressure is an important parameter in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics for predicting the forces acting on a moving object.
Pressure in terms of mm of water?
Pressure can be measured in terms of millimeters of water column, where 1 mm of water column is equivalent to approximately 9.81 pascals. This unit is commonly used to measure pressure differentials in systems like HVAC and respiratory medicine due to its small, easily measurable values.
