A long footing supports a wall carrying a load of 260 kN per m. The soil at the
site is saturated clay having a undrained shear strength of 117 kPa. The unit
weight of the clay is 22 kN/m³ and it is suspected that occasionally the water
table rises to the ground surface. What width in m (1 dp) of footing should be
used if a minimum factor of safety of 2.4 is required? The footing depth is 1.2 m

For a trapezoidal-shaped, concrete-finished gravel bottom channel along a 0.5% slope, with a bottom width of 8 feet, a top width of 32 feet, and side slopes of 4:1, calculate:
a. the channel’s full capacity discharge,
b. velocity at full capacity discharge, and
c. discharge and velocity when stream flow is 0.5 feet from the top of the channel.

A prototype torpedo 6m long travels at 35 knots well below the ocean surface at 20°C. A model is to be tested in a wind tunnel 15°C air. What should the velocity, in m/s, of the model be avoid compression effects?

In a soil investigation for a construction project, two soil types were identified with the following parameters (g = 9.81 m/s²):

If the ground water level is at 2.5 m below the ground level, and the initial void ratio of the overconsolidated clay layer is 0.69, find the expected settlement in the clay layer only due to a proposed foundation that should imposes a pressure of 60 kN/m² on the mid-depth of the clay layer. The overconsolidation pressure is 125 kN/m². What is the the total settlement due to both the sand and clay layers (to the mid-height of the clay layer)?

Could someone give me an example of how to find net uplift wind pressure on a wall or gable roof?

Toronto City Council is about to make a (another?) decision on the future of the Gardiner

Expressway, Eastern Section (From Jarvis Street to the Don River and Don Valley Expressway).

As a CONSTRUCTION MANAGER you are required to prepare a PRELIMINARY RISK

ANALYSIS for

the options that are being considered

2: Eliminate the expressway and create a new, wider road at ground

i need risk analysis table and executive summary

my subject is Risk management

Jakes on the Water is planning to expand their restaurant to a larger restaurant called Jakes on the Bay. The existing septic tank has a volume of 5.0 m3 and the existing tile field has a trench area of 200.0 m2 . If the anticipated wastewater production from the Jakes on the Bay is 4,000 L/d, will they have to expand either the septic tank or the tile field or both? Assume the soil is sandy loam.

Provide 3 types of construction permits may be required in a construction project and elaborate on their impact on the construction schedule.

what is the primary difference between a forced air system that provides both heating and cooling, and one that just provides heating?

A rectangular channel 10m wide carries a discharge of 40m3 /s. If at a section in this channel the depth is 1.5m, how far (upstream or downstream) from this section will the depth be 2.0m.Take So=0.00009and manning’s constant n=0.017.
