Mr. Joshua Lacey set the track record in a meet at LSU. For this achievement, he gets to choose
between a $250 cash prize paid immediately or $30 per year for 10 years. He already has
enough money for now so he decided on the 10 annual installments. However, he is considering
the following two investment options:
a. Save the winnings for the first 3 years and then spend every cent of the winnings in the
remaining 7 years that is collected.
b. Spend everything for the first 3 years then save the remaining 7 years of winnings collected.
i). Draw the cash flow diagram for each option (a) and (b).
ii). Also, if Bank plus is advertising that they can give him a savings ROR of 11% per year, how much
would each option (a) and (b) payout after the installments end? (10 pts)

Describe the process flow of sand casting to make flanges

Suppose you observed vehicle arrival flows in a single approach for two consecutive cycles at a signalized intersection. The signal has a 60 sec. cycle time with a 30 sec. green interval and a 30 sec. red interval (ignore yellow interval). The arrival rates are assumed to be constant in both cycles. The arrival rate was 720 veh/hour. Assume that the vehicles in the queue formed on red pass through the intersection during the subsequent green interval at the saturation flow rate of 1800 veh/hour immediately after the start of the green interval.

(a) Draw the queuing diagram for the approach during the two cycles

(b) Calculate the total uniform delay per cycle.

(c) Calculate the average delay per vehicle.

(d) Calculate the maximum queue length (i.e. maximum number of vehicles in the queue).

1. You have a 5 acre commercial development, where flow drains into a gutter. Assume that the travel time is 15 mins. The rainfall intensity can be determined by the following equation: i=10t^-0.4.

For the curb and gutter have the following design parameters: n = 0.015, cross slope of 40:1 and longitudinal slope is 3.0%.

1. Determine the gutter flow depth, curb design depth and spread necessary to contain the 10 year peak flow.
2. Determine the size of the catch basin for both submerged and unsubmerged flow conditions.

1. Determine the area of the watershed, which drains to a road with a curb and gutter. The roadway information is as following: spread of flow is 10 feet, roughness is 0.013, longitudinal slope is 0.008, cross slope is 30 and curb height is 5 inches. The runoff coefficient time the rainfall intensity is 5.5 inches/hr.
   1. Find the Flowrate in the road?
   2. Determine the area of the watershed?

Eighty five percent of the bits used in deep rock marble drilling endure rock resistance and 95% survive after the exposure to drilling. 80% can be pressure treated to go for one shift or more of drilling and only 10% of those which are not can be used for one shift or more. a) Draw the reliability chart of these drill bits b) What is the likelihood that a bit would last one or more lap?

Answer the following questions from Civil Engineering Licensure Examination

a. CE Board May 2007
A 300 mm concrete wall supports a dead load of 300 KN/m and a live load 0f 220 KN. The allowable
bearing pressure is 240 KN/m2 and the level of the footing is 1.2 m below the ground surface. Assume
concrete weighs 24 KN/m3 and that of soil is 16 KN/m3, fc’ = 28 Mpa, fy =248 Mpa. Use 28 mmθ
reinforcing bars. Thickness of footing = 600 mm, steel covering 100 mm. Determine the spacing of bars
at critical section.

b. CE Board May 2012
A 450 mm square interior column carries a dead load of 825 KN and a live load of 668 KN. A
rectangular footing is required to carry the column loads such that the length of the long side must be
equal to twice the width of the short side. Assume base of footing is 1.5 m below the ground surface.
Allowable bearing pressure of soil is 15.74 KN/m3 and that of concrete is 23.5 KN/m3. Use normal
weight concrete. Thickness of footing is 0.60 m. Determine the steel requirements in the short and
long direction
