A highway being designed to AASHTO guidelines with a 70 mph design speed, and at one section, an equal tangent vertical curve must be designed to connect grades of +1% and -2%. If the grades intersect at station 100+00, determine the stationing of the PVC, PVT and curve high point for the minimum curve length based pn SSD requirements.

Vehicles begin to arrive at a parking lot at 6:00am at a rate of 8 per minute. Due to an

accident on the access highway, no vehicles arrive from 6:20 to 6:30am. From

6:30am on, vehicles arrive at the rate of two per minute. The parking lot attendant

processes incoming vehicles (collects parking fees) at the rate of four per minute

throughout the day. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing (arrival-departure)

diagram to present the events described and determine total vehicle delay.

Can you write more clearly? If it is not clear, some symbols I may not know.

Thank you!

A GC needs to fill and compact a trench that has the following dimensions 150 x 50 x 1.5 ft.   The sub is going to use a dump truck that can carry 12 CY, and travels at an average speed of 40 mph. The borrow pit is located 45 miles from the construction site. The truck driver makes $50/hr and works 8 hours per day. Loading time for the truck is 30 minutes and unloading time is 5 minutes. The sub has to rent the truck at $500 per day + a driver @ $50/hour. The cost of soil $20 per BCY. The soil has a swell factor of 18% and a compaction factor of 12%.

How much will the driver cost?
