A parcel of land is proposed for residential house development. The land is situated beside a river and so flooding is suspected to occur. Outline how you would go about assessing if the land is subject to flooding.

If you assess that the land does flood, outline how you would go about determining the flood levels at the property. In this case the principal objective of the assessment is to determine the flood elevation in a 100 yr ARI flood along the boundary between the creek and the parcel of land. Specify only the methodology noting that you need not present the theoretical description of the proposed method. A step by step procedure on how the assessment will be undertaken is sufficient. Specify the data required to conduct the assessment and where you would source the data.

Your submission should be in point form and should not exceed one page.

For these problems, assume air behaves as an ideal gas with R=0.287kJkgK.

  1. A compressor operates at steady state and takes in air from ambient 0 kPa, gage and 200 K. The outlet pressure is 60 kPa, gage and 400 K. Determine:
    1. the mass flow rate if the inlet area is 20 cm2 and the inlet pressure is -5 kPa, gage.
    2. the minimum outlet temperature that is possible for this compressor.
    3. the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, assuming no heat loss.
    4. if there is a heat loss of 20 kJ/kg, the work required to run the compressor, and the new isentropic efficiency.

Find the required amount of reinforcement required for the abdominium beam in order to support the cross-sectional bending moment MU= 525 kN·m under the counting load. Design cover thickness 40mm and stub reinforcement using D10. Compressed iron bars do not have to be surrendered, and the size of the cross-section can only be increased if the design is not possible under the given conditions.
b = 320 mm, h = 550 mm, fck = 32 MPa,
fy= 450 MPa, Using D19 Tension Reinforcement and Compressed Reinforcement

Hamad International Airport was built on artificial land that was reclaimed from the gulf waters. This project reclaimed more than 60 million m3 sand in less than 2 years. This project is one of the most innovative land reclamation projects in Middle East.

Based on your knowledge; answer the following questions:                                                                                   

1. What type of dredger(s) can be used in the presence of sand material?   

2. What type(s) of dredging methods can be used? why?                                                                       

3. Identify five different type of risk categories with its examples that might be involved in this project using the table below;
