A vertical curve has an incoming grade of -3.2% and the exit grade is +2.2%. The length of the curve is 800 ft. The stationing and elevation at the point of intersection of the grades are 73+22 and 1842.35 ft.

Compute the curve and determine elevations on the curve at the +00 points. Then determine the elevation of the curve at the low point. If a sewer pipe is to pass underneath at the lowest point, what elevation should the top of the pipe be located at if the required amount of cover below the driving surface is 4.50 ft?

a. Compare the suitability of the solid rectangular and hollow square columns to support a compressive load.

Comment on two of their key geometrical design aspects.

You are a PE working in the field with your surveying crewing laying out the foundation for an office building. The landowner comes by and asks you to survey the boundaries of the property, since “you are already out here, and I’m paying for it.” What should your response be? What do you need to consider?

A. Mark a W to indicate which side of the molding fits against the wall.

B. Carefully cut along the outlined profile with a fine-tooth coping saw blade, keeping the saw blade plumb.

C. Hold the molding so it is over the end of the sawhorse, and the side of the molding that will fit to the wall is flat on the top of the sawhorse.

D. Cut a molding piece to fit into the corner with a squared end and install.

1. In your own words, identify what the difference in volume is between effective precipitation and the volume under the hydrograph that is the response to that precipitation. Show how to calculate each. Use SketchAssist if useful; this is a mental App that everyone is born with.

A lined canal (n = 0.016) is designed to carry a flow rate of 33 m3/s. The canal is laid at a slope of 14 cm/km with a side slope of 2:1. Design the canal cross section (the water depth and bed width) according to each of the following scenario:

1. If Velocity is 1.0 m/s

2. If the Most efficient hydraulic section (i.e., when Rh=y/2)

3. If Width/depth =5

Comment on the practicality of the designs (Height of side slope, flow

velocity, variability of depth under reduced flows, land area for the canal).

Design an individual column footing where DL = 200k, LL = 500k, allowable soil pressure = 3k/ft2, f′c col = 4ksi, f′c ftg = 3ksi, 28″ x 28″ column, supporting interior column.

Design for flexure a simple span beam 26’ long to carry P_D = 1000# and P_L = 2000# at the center of the span. f’_c = 4,000psi and f_y = 60,000psi. show all work
