1.) Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational
park. There is a single gate (at which
all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes a free
brochure. The park
opens at 08:00 am, at which time vehicles begin to arrive at a rate
of 480 veh/hr. after
20 minutes the arrival flow rate declines at 120 veh/hr, and it
continues at that level
for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute
the brochure is 15
seconds and assuming D/D/1 queue,
a. Determine the maximum length of queue that occurred.
b. How long did it take to dissipate the queue?
c. What is the average delay per vehicle?
Show all necessary solutions and diagram
2.) Consider the entrance to the recreational park
described in the previous question.
However, assuming that the average arrival rate is 180 veh/hr and
Poisson-distributed
(negative exponential times between arrivals) over the entire
period from park opening
time, 08:00 am until closing at dusk. Compute
a. The average length of queue
b. Average waiting time in the queue
c. Average time spent in the system

A beam extends over a span of 7.3 m and an overhang (cantilever) to the right of the right support of 3 m (that is, the total length of the beam is 10.3 m.) The beam supports a service dead load of 18 t/m that does not include self-weight, and a service live load of 10 t/m. Assume the connection between the beam and the support is a simple pin or roller.
. If self-weight is 1.512 , the height(h) =90cm , width b=70 cm , dt= 83.5
Use fc' : 28 MPa, fy : 420 MPa
design the beam for shear including self weight

How many studs are needed to construct 100 feet of a 2 x 4 stud wall? The wall has one 8-footwide window, four 4-foot-wide windows, two 36-inch-wide doors, one 30-inch-wide door, four corners, two intersections, and eight hold downs located at corners. The stud spacing is 16 inches on center. Allow for two additional studs for each corner, intersection, or doorway; six additional studs for each window less than 6 feet in length; eight additional studs for each window 6 feet or more in width; and one additional stud for each hold down located at a corner
