Why is it more expensive to use many different materials and sizes rather than just a few in your design?

Production costs are higher if you have a ton of different materials and sizes because you're paying for each and every one of those things to be produced separately where as if you get a lot of the same, the costs will be lower due to mass production.

How would you describe the process of concrete setting?
Concrete setting is initiated by a process called hydration. Rather than the concrete just 'drying out', the hydration process involves the water added to the materials (stone, sand & cement) reacting with the cement. The water reacts with calcium in the cement to form an alkali paste which bonds the materials together. Adding too little water means not enough cement hydrates to set properly, but too much will cause separation of the materials.
Diffeece between nominal mix and design mix?
a nominal mix is that mix in which we adopt the various ingredients such as1:2:3,1:2.5:4etc here the strength will not be the desired strength and generally here we take the ingredients per unit vol a design mix is that mix in we find the ratio of the different ingredients as per the desired strength and the ingredients would be in per unit weight
Why shear is not considered in design of columns?
shear is not critical in designing normal columns (3-5 meter height). but in short columns (Pedestals) around 1meter height or less, shear would be more critical rather than moment or axial force. this also happens for beams less than two meter length in moment resistant frames.

Would you pay 270 dollars for a huge crocheted blanket?
overall it depends on the condition, design and materials used. If it was HAND MADE (vs machine made(, if it is made of wool rather than acrylic, if it is in good condition rather than worn, if the design is complicated or simple. In general, I would if it were hand crocheted, of 100% virgin wool or better (cashmere!), a pleasing design and in good condition, sure!

A great resource for that are Mitchell repair manuals. They're rather expensive, but your local library should have them, although most won't let you check them out. Since they are reference materials, libraries will let you use their copier.
