Compute the wet area, wet perimeter, hydraulic radius and hydraulic depth for the trapezoidal channel section with the following data: water depth = 5.5 ft, bottom width = 25 ft and side slopes 1:2.

List five of the ten changes brought about the passage of propositions 8, victims' bill of rights as given in your text?

George Jones  is a 45 year-old who has two felony convictions, one for robbery and one for assault with a deadly weapon. In 2007, he stole some items worth about $100 from a Wall Mart. Jones has admitted stealing the merchandise. His conduct qualifies as petty theft under the state’s criminal code, which is a felony. There is, however, another provision in the code for misdemeanor theft.

If you were the prosecuting attorney in the case against Jones, would you file felony charges against him? Would your answer to the question change if you knew that charging a felony would result in a third strike under the criminal code, so that Jones would be subject to a sentence of 25-years-to-life?

If you were the judge in Jones’s case, would you grant the defendant’s motion to dismiss the felony charge and accept a proposed guilty plea for misdemeanor theft (which could result in a sentence of up to one year in the county jail)?

A 90o v-notch weir is used to measure discharge flow rate. A head (H) of 6 inches is measured behind the weir. Assume the following:

• Weir equation is Q = 2.5H2.5 (Q in cfs and H in feet)

• 1 cfs = 450 gpm

• a) Estimate discharge flow rate in gallons per minute (gpm)

• b) Briefly describe hydraulic principle of open channel flow measurement

Please show all work. Thank you so much in advance!

The road becomes a class-III two-lane highway after reaching a long bend in the road. The speeds don’t typically change off-peak at the transition, and width/clearance/access are consistent after the transition too. There are 50% no passing zones. What is the LOS of the two-lane highway?

A concrete mix design is needed for a residential street paving project in Detroit, Michigan. Pavement thickness is 8”, unreinforced, subjected to freezing and thawing and deicing agents are anticipated. The specified compressive strength is 4000 psi. Assume both Fine Aggregate (FA) and Coarse Aggregate (CA) are in saturated surface dry condition.

Specific Gravity of Fine Aggregate (FA) = 2.71

Fineness Modulus (FM) of Fine Aggregate (FA) = 2.70

Specific Gravity of Coarse Aggregate (CA) = 2.65

Bulk Density of Coarse Aggregate (CA) = 105 pcf

Nominal Maximum Size of Coarse Aggregate = ¾”

Specific Gravity of Cement = 3.15

Fill in ALL boxes in the tables below:

Given the following:

Bucket volume of loader: 3.6 L m³ (loose cubic meters)

Loader cycle: 0.42 min

Truck capacity: 11.5 L m³

Truck traveling time with load 2.28 min

Truck maneuvering for tipping and tipping time 0.65 min

Truck return time 1.18 min

Truck maneuvering for loading 0.40 min

Planned activities (lunch, breaks etc…) 0.64 min

Waiting time at loader (per cycle) 0.50 min

Conversation with supervisor (per cycle) 0.25 min

Other cycle time affecting machine performance 0.75 min

Swell factor 1.12

Bank Density 1,930 kg/m³ (in situ)

And the following equation:

P = (Q x T) / t

Where

P = Performance /hr (tonnes/hr)

Q = Loaded(shovel/loader) Capacity of truck (tonnes)

T = Productive time in minutes/hour

t = round trip cycle time (i.e. excluding unavoidable delays)

Calculate

1. Number of buckets required to fill the truck (use nearest integer)
2. The loading time of the truck. (Assuming 0.1 min to load the first bucket)
3. The total unavoidable delay time per cycle .(i.e. Planned activities + Waiting time at loader + Conversation with supervisor + Other cycle time affecting machine performance)
4. The round trip cycle time “t” ( See definition of “t” above)
5. The productive time per hour (.i.e. time minus delays)
6. The tonnage hauled per cycle
7. The performance per hour

Can you provide a sample programming for 2D plane frame in MATLAB ?

Q1) A cantilevered structure (or a structure witn an unsupported end)can only be achieved using a rigid moment connection at one end.

TRUE or FALSE

Q2) A reaction develops where movement is restricted at a support.

TRUE or FALSE

Horizontal Formwork Design

Given: 6 in structural steel-concrete floor slab. Use ¾ in Class I plyform parallel to the span for the sheathing and Southern Yellow Pine #2 for the rest of the lumber. Joists will be 2x8 and stringers will be 6x8. Unsupported height of shores will be 10 ft and they will be S4S. The maximum deflection for sheathing may be taken as 1/360 of the span. Motorized buggies will be used to transport normal weight concrete.

Find: Design the formwork for this slab.
