. A prestressed road bridge of span 16 + 0.01 (35× 2) m consists of a concrete slab of 420 mm thick with parallel post-tensioned cables, in each of which the force at transfer is 440 kN. If the bridge is required to support a uniformly distributed applied load of 38 + 0.01 (135) kN/m , with tensile stress in the concrete not exceeding 0.85 N/mm2 at any time. Calculate the maximum horizontal spacing of the cables, their distance from the soffit of the slab at mid-span and their lowest possible position at

supports. Assume 15 % loss of prestress after transfer. Also calculate the number of steel wires used in each cable with the permissible stress of 1200 N/mm2 for 7 mm diameter steel wire. Assume the density of the concrete is 24 kN/m

A 3-blade wind turbine with a diameter of 16 m spins at 35 rpm at a 5000 m elevation where the average wind speed is 30 km/hr. The atmospheric pressure and temperature at that location are 98 kPa and -10 oC, respectively. There is a rotating wake behind the turbine. Neglecting the frictional drag, calculate the maximum power coefficient and maximum power.
