1: A square footing is to be constructed as shown in the Figure at a founding depth of 2 m. Using the Terzaghi equation compute the ultimate surface capacity, [ (qult)Surf ], possible for the layered soil profile shown. Keeping in mind that Terzaghi’s semi-empirical bearing capacity equation can only be applied to a soil layer with a thickness greater than or equal to the applied stress contact-area-breadth (either virtual or real breadth). In such a case, second layer cannot be assessed by the nominal equation of Terzaghi. An acceptable approach is to merge the second and third layers into a single layer with equivalent conservative properties. |

Assume that a two-lane small road crosses a two-lane main road at a right angle making a four-leg intersection where the traffic on the small road controlled by a yield sign. A shopping mall is located 108.24 ft from the centerline of the outside lane of the main road and 12 m from the centerline of the nearest lane of the minor road. Determine the maximum velocity (in km/h) that can be allowed on the small road if the speed limit on the main road is 39.77 mph. Grades of both the roads are leveled.

You are the Engineer In Charge for a large paving project in New York City. There is some additional paving work being added to the mainline expressway job involving approximately 25,000 metric tons of asphalt. The additional work involves paving nine (9) ramps along the mainline expressway. Due to the Maintenance and Protection of Traffic requirements, the ramps will each be paved on their own night. The total estimated quantity is 400 Metric Tons of Superpave Top Asphalt and 500 Metric Tons of Superpave Binder Asphalt. The Contractor states that it will cost him $90.00 per metric ton to place the asphalt, which is far above his $65.00 per metric ton bid price.

During and after the commissioning and turn-over process, the design and construction team need to provide the owner with many important documents for the operation of the building. These include all of the following, except:
A list of things that the contractor secretly left out of the building to save costs. |
||
Operations and maintenance manuals for installed equipment |
||
Final construction drawings, typically called "As Built" drawings. These incorporate any minor changes made during construction. |
||
Design calculations for building systems. |
||
Warranty, test-and-balance, and inspection documents. |
||
Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, if included in the contract. |
||
Samples and inventories of spare parts and materials used in the construction, to facilitate repairs. |
