Geotechnical Design Exam Review 2024 Graded A What are indicator piles. and how do they benefit the foundation design process? - Answer-Indicator piles are prototype piles that are constructed before the production piles. These prototype piles are typically evaluated using pile driving analyzers, load tests, or other means to evaluate their load capacity. The results of these evaluations are then used to guide the design and construction of the production piles. In many cases, the indica...

CMP 305 Test Questions with All Correct Answers Montmorillonite is known to have what properties? - Answer-high volume changes and weak bonds phase diagram displays what? - Answer-relationship between volume and weight of a soil bunk does clay absorb more or less water than other types of soils - Answer-more, clay attracts water when is angular-granular soil at its highest shear strength? - Answer-when it is in a dense condition and has a low void ratio of the four soil groups wh...

Goals of wound assessment - 1. Determine etiologic factors 2. Assess systemic factors/comorbidities 3. Assess wound to determine phase of healing 4. Determine goals of topical therapy Why does hyperglycemia affect wound healing? - Impairs leukocyte function and negatively impacts collagen syntehesis, development of tensile strength, epithelial resurfacing What BG parameters should be maintained for wound healing? - BG <180 for leukocyte function; <140 for healing A1C <7 for mo...

What does a needs analysis consist of? What do the subphases include? correct answers 1. analysis of sport -physiologic needs (energy systems used) -biomechanic needs (mimic sport movement patterns) -injury analysis (contact vs noncontact and acute vs chronic) 2. analysis of athlete classification (tells how much technique we need to teach them) and how precisie the workout needs to be : -beginner- less than 6 months of training -intermed- 6 to 12 months of training -advanced- more...
