Explain,

1.where does water industry apply I.R.4.0 and

2.the challenge of water industry

1.    What is a masonry solid unit? And a hollow unit?

2.    Facing bricks may be classified as FBS (standard), FBX (extra special), and FBA (architectural). What is the basis for this classification?

3.    A CMU scored unite may be used to simulate a stack-bond wall, when the wall is in fact, made with a running-bond pattern. What is the advantage of having a running-bond pattern when compared to a stack-bond pattern?

Why is the investigation of near-misses important although they do not cause any damage or
injury?

1. In California, medical care costs for back injuries are 43 percent higher when part of a workers’ compensation claim than when part of a group medical insurance plan. Critics of workers’ compensation claim that this difference can be attributed to abuse of the system by both injured employees and their physicians. Proponents of workers’ compensation argue that the higher costs indicate exactly the opposite: that is, under workers’ compensation, injured employees are receiving more and better (hence more costly) medical care. They claim that group medical plans are shortchanging employees by allowing insurance companies to make medical decisions. What is your opinion?

2. Following an order from his supervisor, a carpenter working for Jones Construction Company removed all the guardrails from stairwell openings, floor openings, and open-sided stairs. Uncomfortable with this action, the carpenter telephoned his union representative, who, in turn, called OSHA. Jones Construction Company was fined $15,000 for willful violations. Jones Construction Company, in turn, fired the carpenter. Was the firing lawful (under OSHA standards)? Was the action of the carpenter appropriate (under OSHA standards)?

Explain why the velocity distribution over a channel section is not uniform.

What are some clues in design nomenclature that refers to design strength ? I am having trouble wrapping my head around when to introduce the resistance factor to the nominal strength of a member. From what I understand the "available strength" = "design strength" = Nominal Strength x Resistance Factor.

Is it safe to assume that if a problem statement refers design strength the value must include the resistance factor ?

Alternative 1 has a capital cost of $2,069,000 and annual O&M cost of $348,000

Alternative 2 has a capital cost of $7,182,000 and annual O&M cost of $394,000

Number of years = 30, interest rate = 3%

Compare the two alternatives using the present worth method AND annual cost method. Which is least costly? Are the conclusions same for each method?

a) Based on standard design principles and practices, describe how the roof and drainage system of a building may be designed.

b) Describe three main drainage systems which are typically required in a building.

c) What are the main stages of a structural construction project?

d) Identify at least three promising building materials’ trends in the construction industry in recent years.

My subject is Plant Engineering

Which elements of the construction industry has the greatest effect on productivity rates and why?

Draw and briefly explain mechanism analysis logic diagram for the failure event of crane collapse on construction site and risks it involves?

Explain how to calculate depths, velocities, and headloss for a hydraulic jump. What is the difference
between free and drowned outflow?

1) Due to the construction of a building, 150 kPa vertical stress increment takes place in a clay layer. The thickness of clay layer is 8m and there are a very thin sand layer above and a thick sand layer below it. If the final settlement is 0.08m, calculate the followings:

a) Required time in terms of month for 0.04m consolidation settlement

b) Amount of settlement in terms of meter, after 4 months of construction

c) During the construction, a machine is intended to be placed in to the building. However, the machine is sensitive to the settlement and amount of the settlement should not exceed 0.02m after placing this machine. Calculate the required time to satisfy the prerequisite in terms of months.

d) k value of the clay layer

mv = 1*10-4, cv = 0.4 m/month

Mention two features and the corresponding design philosophy in earthquake resistant design, which are different from conventional designs. [4 marks]

You are the environmental specialist for a company that has just purchased a property and started construction of a home office. During excavation you find that the site is part of an inactive landfill. Testing of soil samples shows that vinyl chloride, a hazardous waste, is present in concentrations that exceed regulatory standards. What is your next action? If the remediation of the problem is very costly, will you seek participation by other parties? If so, why?
