How do you fix the gradient of a sewer?
To fix the gradient of a sewer, first assess the current slope using a level or grading tool to determine areas where the gradient is insufficient or excessive. Next, excavate sections of the sewer as needed, either deepening or raising parts of the pipe to achieve the correct slope, typically a minimum of 1% (or 1/8 inch per foot) for proper drainage. Finally, backfill the trench carefully, ensuring that the new gradient is stable and properly aligned, and conduct a flow test to confirm that the adjustments effectively resolve any drainage issues.
Shear means a change in shape but not in size. Shear stress is defined as the force per unit area producing a change is shape.

What percentage of the earths surface is covered in asphalt?
An incredibly tiny amount, far less than 1%.
Answer:
There is no definitive answer but as total urban use occupies about 2 percent of the United States (a reasonably heavily urbanized country) and urban areas are high contributors of asphalt use we have basis to start some mathematics:
- 30% (30/100) of the world is land
- 2% (2/100)of the land is urban (using the USA as "typical")
- <10% (10/100) of the urban area is asphalt (guess)
The implication is that no more than 30%x10%x2%=0.06% (600/1000000) of the Earth is covered by asphalt. This estimate is high given the rural and undeveloped nature of many continents and countries.
What was the first motorway built in England?
The Preston Bypass, the first section of what is now the M6 was the first motorway in the country, built by Tarmac Construction and opened by the then Prime Minister, Harold Macmillam on 5 December 1958.

The state of Alaska has around 167 dams. Some of them are the Akhoik Dam, the Adak Dam, the Akutan Power Dam, and the Blue Lake Dam. Some additional dams on the list are the Lake Demarie Dam, the Engstrom Dam, and the Chester Lake Dam.
so that you have both a positive camber to assit turning and also to aid water drainage A road is "banked" (that's the term for the side-to-side sloping that you are talking about) so that, from the perspective of a car traveling along the road, the angle of the curve is lessened, making it easier for a driver to negotiate the curve. To understand this better, take the following extreme example of banking. Imagine that a road is banked a full 90 degrees, or completely vertical, in a curve. Then imagine that you are driving along this road. Of course, if the road is banked 90 degrees, or anywhere close to it, your car will fall off, so we are suspending the law of gravity for this example. As you enter this curve, and the road banks a full 90 degrees, you will find that, from your perspective as the driver of the car, the road does not curve at all, though it does climb a steep hill. At a full 90 degrees, you do not have to turn your steering wheel at all to keep your car on the road. Again, that is an extreme example. Roads are not banked anywhere near that much in real life. In fact, except on NASCAR tracks, I doubt any roads are banked more than 10-12 degrees. But you can imagine that, if a full 90 degree banking results in no curve at all (from the perspective of the car), then any banking at all will result in a lessening of the angle of the curve, from the perspective of the car.
What is difference between partial factor of safety and factor of safety?
A safety factor is an aspect of design that increases strength or protection beyond that suggested as needed by calculation or other basic assessment. For example, engineering calculations might suggest a bridge needs a certain amount of strength in a support beam. That number would be increased by, perhaps, 20% as a "safety factor" in case it were to be stressed beyond its design or in case some basis for the calculation was in error.
A partial safety factor is one of several safety factors applied to the same instance.
