Rudolph is a male professional ballet dancer who is looking for a new house. He wants to purchase a typical residential house which will suit his budget and his lifestyle. Being a professional dancer is a regime not just a job, and this means that Rudolph needs to train and rehearse on a daily basis. Hence, Rudolph intends to practice his dance routines in the lounge room of his new house on a frequent basis. Rudolph is your auntie’s protégé, and since you are a qualified Structural Engineer, she has asked you to assist Rudolph in finding a suitable house. You have had a meeting with Rudolph and obtained information that will assist you in analysing suitable houses and this information effectively forms your specification for this ‘project’. As a part of the decision-making process, you need to determine the following: i. The area in mm2 which Rudolph’s feet take up on the floor. ii. The pressure Rudolph will place on the floor when he is practicing his pirouettes. iii. The work that the floor has to do to stop Rudolph’s leaps. iv. The Live Load Q as per the Limit State Design Method for Rudolph’s dance routines based on the assumed velocity of his movements and leaps. v. What type of house would you recommend that Rudolph purchase? Why? vi. Rudolph has found a renovated, Victorian architecturally-styled house in a location close to his work. It is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house constructed with floor joists at 450 mm centres and bearers at 1.6 m centres. The large 4 m x 5 m lounge room with polished timber floor boards looks particularly promising. a. What would you anticipate the Live Load capacity of the house to be based on the floor joists and bearers? b. Is this house suitable for Rudolph to practice his dance routines? Why/ why not? Provide a detailed response based on floor live loads considerations as per AS 1170.1 (discussed in the Reading Material for this module) and your calculations. c. Based solely on the dance practice criteria, do you recommend that Rudolph purchase this house? Why/ why not? Provide a detailed response with a justification for your answer. Assumptions  Size of average male foot – 330 mm x 120 mm  Ball of male foot – 165 mm x 120 mm  Mass of average-sized male ballet dancer = 85 kg  Maximum velocity Rudolph can attain is 5.88* m/s and he attains this velocity in 4.5 seconds from a stopped position; generally, he can continue at this velocity of 5.88 m/s or greater for at least 20 seconds. Consider Rudolph’s movements in this regard in terms of a vehicle. [*This velocity assumes Rudolph is capable of running 100 m in approximately 17 seconds, this is well below the Olympic records of most contemporary male athletes (Usain Bolt of Jamaica achieved a distance of 100 m in 9.68 seconds at the Olympics).]  Rudolph’s leaps – 1.5 m above the ground and landing on the ball of one foot. Note:  Ballet dancers tend to be smaller and lighter than the average for their sex.  The information and assumptions provided in this question are simplified and would not necessarily be utilised and calculated in this manner for a real-world application. [Hint: Newton’s Laws of Motion would be useful to determine some of the required information.]

Please give an explanation or what the rational of the code is about, I am trying to figure it out what it means so to better understand it.

Discuss the Code Provision on Square and Rectangular HSS and Box- Shaped Members, Rounds HSS, Tees and Double Angles Loaded in the Plane of Symmetry, and Single Angles.

A clearing contractor purchases a dozer with a delivered price of $275,000. The company believes it can sell the used dozer after 4 yr (2,000 hr/yr) of service for $56,000. There will be no major overhauls. The company’s cost of capital is 9.2%, and its tax rate is 33%. Property taxes, insurance, and storage will run 4%. What is the time value method depreciation part of the ownership cost?

Fire Suppression Investigation Plan

Write your plan for the investigation as described below and save it as a Word document.

• Detailed one page summary of your plans, including sketches if necessary. (Note: If you cannot submit your sketches, describe them in words.)
• Itemized list of materials, with total costs.
• Stoichiometric calculations of the amount of reactants required to produce enough gas to extinguish the fires. Remember that some gas may be lost prior to its use as a fire extinguisher.

Traffic on a section of an arterial road is flowing at a space mean speed of 40km/hr. The flow of traffic on the road section can be described using the following equation (where q represents flow in veh/hr and k represents the density in veh/km): q = 50 * (k - k^2/150) A slow moving heavy vehicle turns onto the roadway at 2pm, 2km from the beginning of the arterial road, driving at 15km/hr due to its heavy load. The vehicle impedes traffic; however, vehicles can pass the slow-moving vehicle resulting in an average space mean speed of 20km/hr upstream of the heavy vehicle. The heavy vehicles leaves the arterial road 15km after joining the traffic stream and at this point in time vehicles begin to move at the maximum flow rate. Use a space time-diagram and shock wave theory to describe this traffic event. Not all trajectories need to be presented; representative trajectories should be used to describe the flow across all the different traffic regions. Determine the speed of each shock wave, the points of intersection of each of the shockwaves and the time taken for the congestion to dissipate (maximum queue to be released).

A radioactive waste from a clinical laboratory contains 0.2 μCi (microcuries) of calcium-45 (45Ca) per litre. The reaction rate constant is 0.005/day. The radioactive calcium waste is treated in a pipe that is 200 m until it reaches below the maximum acceptable radioactivity of 0.01 μCi/L. Assume the pipe approximates a plug flow reactor

(d) Radioactive waste can be stored in a number of ways with two of the most common being deep well injection and above-ground storage (as per the example above). For deep well injection the radioactive waste is pumped hundreds or even thousands of metres below the surface of the Earth. Whereas, above-ground storage is often in buildings in isolated areas that are then guarded to prevent people from accessing the radioactive waste contained within.

What would be the advantages and disadvantages associated with each of these two methods of storing radioactive waste? Which of the two methods do you believe is superior for storing radioactive waste (explain why as part of your answer)?

1. How much load can safely be carried by a 20 m long, 0.3 x 0.3 m square concrete pile driven in very stiff clay. Address the safe load issue but not the settlement issue. Soil properties: su = 100 kPa, q_c = 5 MPa, f_c = 70 kPa, p_L = 500 kPa, E₀ = 7.5 MPa, C_c = 0.3, c_v = 10-4 cm²/s, γ = 18 kN/m³. If you need additional properties assume reasonable values.

The center of buoyancy of a floating body is at x = 0, z = 0 and its center of gravity is at x = 0, z = 0.9 where (x, z) are the horizontal and vertical coordinates. The body is tilted through an angle θ = 5◦ so that the center of buoyancy shifts to x = 0.1, z = 0. Will the floating body (a) Return to its undisturbed configuration (b) Move further away from its undisturbed configuration ?
