A Waste water treatment units is proposed to be designed for the
Wilayat of Sur. Population of Sur is 200,000 and an average sewage
generation is 210 liter per capita per day. Design an appropriate
waste water treatment plant using the following given data. If
needed assume other necessary data.
Approach channel velocity = 42 m/min, d = 1.5 w Design three
aerated grit chamber Detention time in grit chamber = 3 min Depth
of aerated grit chamber = 2.0 m Depth to width ratio in aerated
grit chamber is 1:1.2 Total depth of primary clarifier = 3 m
(Mechanical Sludge removal) Overflow rate = 20 m3/m2.d Detention
time in the primary clarifier should be greater than 1.5 hours
Secondary clarifier with a depth of water equal to 0.5 times the
Length (Mechanical Sludge removal) Detention time in secondary
clarifier = 2 hours
Design (size of the unit) the following units of the treatment process:
Rectangular Bar screen channel, Rectangular Aerated Grit chamber, Six Circular Primary Clarifier, and Six Square Secondary Sedimentation tank.

An unsymmetrical I section prestressed concrete beam of top flange (350 X 40 mm) in size, bottom flange of (200 X 40 mm), 30mm thickness of web and overall depth of 400 mm is prestressed with 19 numbers straight steel wires of 7 mm diameter located at a distance of 15 mm from the bottom of the soffit and 9 numbers of straight steel wires of 6 mm diameter located at a distance of 15 mm from the top of the beam. The wires were initially tensioned on the prestressing bed with an initial prestress of 1.2 GPa. The length of the beam is 10 m. Calculate the total percentage loss of stress in the wires at top and bottom. Assume the beam is post tensioned beam and all the wires stressed simultaneously by using the following data: [9] Relaxation of steel stress= 4.5% of initial stress -6 Shrinkage strain in concrete for post tensioning = 200 x 10 Creep Coefficient ɸ=1.6 Friction coefficient for wave effect=0.0015 per metre Slip at anchorage= 1.5 mm Modulus of elasticity for steel = 210 GPa Modulus of elasticity for concrete= 35 GPa

A room with inside dimensions of 5x7m is built from block
30x30x30 cm,
using cement sand mortar 1:2.5, the wall thickness is 30 cm.
The room wall height above the footing concrete is 5 m. The room
has a
door of size 1.5x2m and a window 3x2m. The room is covered with a
slab of
15 cm thick which has a 20 cm extension beyond the outside wall
edges all
around. The slab is reinforced with 10 mm bars at 15 cm c/c in
both
directions, one bar straight and one bar bent. Estimate:
1. Amount of steel needed for the slab in the short direction
only.
2. Amount of blocks needed for construction.

A 1200 mm deep by 750 mm wide post-tensioned simply supported beam is shown below. The beam spans 12.0 m and is subject to a superimposed dead load of 50 kN/m and a live load of 35 kN/m. Both the superimposed dead load and live load are applied after transfer (after stressing has taken place). The tendon is located at the mid-height of the beam at each end, and its centreline sits 50 mm from the base at midspan. The concrete strength at transfer is 22 MPa, and at maturity is 40 MPa. Assume Ec = 32800 MPa, γc = 24 kN/m3 and ignore any prestress losses.
Estimate the approximate total short-term and long-term deflection under the load combination G + 0.7Q. Assume Pi = 1750 kN and Фcc = 2.8.

5. The City of Maskeliya disposes of 2.15m3/s of treated sewage that still has a BODu of 32.0 mg/L and 2.2 mg/L of DO into a river. Upstream from the outfall, the river has a flow rate of 6.50m3/s and a velocity of 0.45 m/s. At this point, BODu and the DO in the river are 3.25 and 7.3 mg/L respectively. The saturation value od DO (at the temperature of the river) is 8.9 mg/L, The deoxygenation coefficient, kd , is 0.61 day-1, and the reaeration coefficient, kr , is 0.74 day-1 . Assume complete mixing and that the velocity in the river is the same upstream and downstream of the outfall (30 points) 1. What is the oxygen deficit and the BODu just downstream from the outfall (just after mixing, before any reaction can occur?) 2. What is the DO 12 km downstream? 3. Calculate the critical time and distance 4. What is the minimum DO

Urbanization involves the growth of cities, flow of traffic, transportation assets, facilities and fixed infrastructure. Collectively, these factors play major roles in what has become to be known as a “four-stage” process of urbanization. Smooth traffic flow enhances to a significant extent the urbanization process in cities, and by implication, government activities and private enterprise. Based on your course readings and knowledge of the concept of urbanization, graphically illustrate the four-stage process typically associated with this phenomenon tagged “urbanization” detailing the essential factors from stage one to stage four.
