Why are slogans important to the companies doing the advertising?

Catchphrases and slogans are a way for the company to connect with their potential customers in the public. The repetition and application of these slogans represents a connection to the specific company or brand name. Particularly clever slogans may eventually become part of the popular culture in which the comapany advertises.

How do you use a Flemish bond for intersecting walls?

Flemish bond wall construction is not as strong as the English bond brick wall.

In a Flemish Bond wall, alternate header and stretcher are laid in every course of the bricks, header bricks being centrally placed between the stretcher bricks in a course and between the stretchers of the top and bottom courses.

See the pic in related link for the intersection in Flemish Bond wall construction.

What is sugar's tensile strength?

1: It depends on the structure, purity and density.

2: Imagine a gobstopper/jawbreaker - a similar material to this format of sugar would be something like lead although bear in mind it would be brittle and therefore hard to clamp to get a decent tensile load.

3: If you want a strong and 'green' material from sugar there is a viaduct built by Brunel that is sealed with sugar (in the form of molasses) and rope, this is still going strong after hundreds of years.

To summarize it is a strong material if used with other materials as a compound material. I would suggest hemp fibre mixed with molasses - the crystals are even stronger but take a while to form. Type in 'rock candy' into a search engine if you want to make a crystal form.

When Ontario Hydro workers set up electrical cables during the summer they allow the cables to sag. Suggest a reason for this. In your answer refer to the particle theory?

How do you do a construction takeoff?

Take-off is taking measurements and obtaining quantities of materials from a set of plans and specifications that will be required to complete a project. There are many different methods and software programs that make this process more methodical than just starting on page 1 and going through, but the goal is to come up with quantities to be matched with pricing (construction estimating) to determine the cost of materials in a project.

What is the minimum and maximum time required between prime coat and asphalt base course?

Why do you think France gave up on the Panama Canal project?

The French gave up because of many overwhelming technical difficulties and significant loss of life. There were many failures, because it is one of the most difficult engineering tasks ever attempted, both because of technical difficulties and the physical ravages of malaria and yellow fever. Spain began the idea of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama as early as 1534. The Spanish were followed by the Scottish in 1698, who also failed. In 1880, the French tried their hand at the project, but came to a screeching halt in 1893 after multiple technical failures and excessive equipment rusting because of the humid conditions. The loss of an estimated 22,000 workers during the eight-year French fiasco was the final straw and caused the French to drop the project.

1 meter ton of asphalt how many cubic meters?

Density of asphalt is depending on several specifications but overall it'll be between 1,010 and 1,300 kg/m3. So this is between 0.99 and 0.77 m3/1000kg

Asphaltic concrete is about 2,240 kg/m3 (0.446 m3/1000kg)

What is the Difference between an active earth pressure and passive earth pressure?

When the wall moves away from the backfill, the earth pressure on the wall decreases. This minimum pressure is called active earth pressure. On the other hand if the wall moves towards the backfill, the earth pressure increases. This maximum pressure is called passive earth pressure.
