DetailsThe aggregate benefit for design A would be: 20w + 100(100-w) For design B: 70w + 0(100-w) For design C: 100w + 90(100-w) For design D: 0w + 50(100-w) Now, we need to find the weight w for which each design has the highest aggregate benefit. For design A to be the best, its aggregate benefit should be higher than the others. Answer
DetailsThe mean weighted diameter (MWD) was calculated from dry and wet aggregate separates in order to get a parameter of aggregate size distribution from each sample (Kemper and Rosenau, 1987): MWD = ∑ i=1 n x ̄ i w i.. The MWD and the ratio of MWD from wet and dry aggregate fractionation (MWD wet-to-MWD dry) were taken as a measure of aggregate …
DetailsFor k=6 these weights have the values: 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. Thus, the scale of ASI values is a range 〈1;32〉.
