A rectangular beam has f'c = 4000 pai and steel with fy = 60ksi. The moment due to load is 42 kip-feet in the moment due to live load is 35 kip-feet. If the width of the beam is required to be 12 inches, what is the beams depth, the total area of steel reinforcing required, and an acceptable number of steel bars in their spacing?

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).

An intern performed the resistivity test according to AASHTO T358 on two sets of 4 × 8 in. cylinder specimens at 28-day of concrete age. One set of specimens (ASTM) were wet cured through the testing ages. Other sets of specimens (Field) were wet cured for seven day following specimen fabrication, then dry cured. The average resistivity results of two sets of specimens are 89.8 and 14.9 kΩ – cm. However, the intern forgot to document the curing conditions. What is the result of average resistivity for the ASTM and Field specimens? Justify your answer. What is the likely corrosion rate for both sets of specimens according to the recommendation of CEB-192?

You work for a general contractor experiencing increased rate of “high frequency, low impact” incidents. Specifically, the company has observed an increased rate of incidents associated with overexertion, slips trips, and falls at the same level, back pain, sprain and strains, and fatigue. You are asked to propose a solution to this problem. Your boss mentioned that they are open to implementing technologies or a combination of technology and effective safety practices. In about 300 to 500 words:  

  • Describe how you would develop a safety program aimed at tackling this problem.
  • Justify the selection of each item in your proposed program and provide information on the effectiveness of the program.
  • Provide the approximate cost of implementing the items in the program, where available.
  • Include a brief description of the strengths and potential weakness(es) of the program

  1. Primary sludge containing trickling filter sludge is gravity thickened in a circular tank with a diameter of 12 ft, and side water depth of 10.0 ft. The applied sludge is 2600 gpd with 4.5 % solids (by wt.) and the thickened sludge withdrawn is 1300 gpd at 7.5 % solids (by wt.). The sludge blanket in the tank is 3.0 ft deep. For odour control, and to enhance thickening, 45,000 gpd of treated wastewater is pumped to the tank along with the sludge to increase the overflow rate. Calculate the solids loading on the tank, the solids capture efficiency, the overflow rate, and the solids retention time in the tank, assuming that all the tank solids are in the sludge blanket.
  2. If the thickened sludge from the tank that is anaerobically digested, at an SRT of 15 days with a VS destruction efficiency of 50%, calculate the size of the anaerobic digester, and the daily methane production rate. Assume that the volatile fraction of solids is 70%.

A grit chamber is designed to treat an average wastewater flow of 1 m3/sec at an overflow rate of 4752 m3/m2 –d to capture sand with the following particle size distribution:

         % by wt.                        Diameter (mm)

               30                                         1.0

               30                                         0.5

               30                                         0.2

               10                                         0.1

The design overflow rate is such that 100% removal of the 0.5 mm diameter particles will be achieved. The operating temperature is 20°C and the specific gravity of the sand particles is 2.65. Assume that the stickiness coefficient (k) for sand is 0.04 and the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor (f) is 0.03.

a. Determine the surface area and vertical cross-sectional area of the grit chamber if only the 0.1 mm diameter particles will be scoured away

b. Calculate the removal efficiency assuming that only the 0.1 mm diameter particles will be

     scoured away.

c. If the ratio of peak to average flow is 1.4, calculate the overall removal efficiency at the      peak flow.
