a- • Must a contractor be delayed beyond the contractual project duration in order to successfully file a claim for 15 delay damages? • Explain your answer

b- • A contract contains the following clause: • “The owner specifically reserves the right to modify the progress schedule as required by the conditions of the work.” Can a contractor that has been delayed by the owner’s revisions to the order of the work in the schedule successfully file a claim for a time extension? • Explain your answer

c- • What is the role of “as-built” schedules in litigation involving delays?

d- • To minimize the chance of losses, suggest a methodology to follow when a delay, that has the potential 18 of resulting in litigation, occurs on a construction project.

e- • Explain two of the added costs that might be incurred by the contractor as a result of a change issued by the owner.

Water flows through a cast iron pipe with a diameter of 30 mm. The pipe is inclined at an angle of 3 degrees from horizontal and is 40 m long. The water flows due to gravity only. What is the maximum volume flow rate of the water?

You may ignore any minor loses.

Two vehicles travel along two distinct roads. The first vehicle traveled in the first roadway
with a spot speed equal to “A veh/hr”, while the second vehicle traveled along the second roadway
with a space mean speed equal to “A veh/hr”. If the two vehicles originated at the same position
and will arrive at the same points, who will arrive at the destination first? Elucidate, and
expound your idea based on the fundamental definitions and your logical reasoning.

What considerations and designs exist when planning and creating a system for potable water (for drinking fountains) + sewage water (for bathrooms) at an off-grid site with a well source? Please include a diagram if possible with explanation, and then discuss benefits of dry flush and composting toilets compared to the traditional toilet system.

Project title is 3D printed Buildings.
Question is who will be our targeted consumers and who can be the stake holders ? As well please let me know the aim and objectives of this project.

Interstate Highway (4 lanes both direction) with AADT of 6000 (90% car, 10% truck) in one direction takes a week for water to be drained from pavement and pavement will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation for 30% of the time. Consider design life as 20 years and traffic growth 4%.

Describe and sketch shallow slope failure and base slope failure. Explain three aspects that make the method of slices more versatile compared to mass procedure of slope stability analysis. Explain the parameters stability number and stability factor and their relationship. Please answer the question from principle of geotechnical engineering 9th edition book

A 4.5m4.5m foundation carries a load of 3000 kN. The foundation rests at a depth of 1.5m
below the ground surface. The bearing soil is an extended sand with a saturated unit weight
(γsat) of 19 kN/m3
, modulus of elasticity (E) of 35 MPa, and Poisson’s ratio (µ) of 0.3. The
water level coincides with the ground surface.
a) Determine the effective vertical stresses (σ̍v) for points underneath the corner and
center of the foundation and located at a depth of 6.0 m from the ground surface.
Note: for estimating Δσ̍v (i.e., the additional vertical stresses), use both of the
influence coefficient and approximate methods. Comment on your results.
b) If we consider this foundation as a rigid element, what would be its uniform
settlement under the given load? Is it safe (and why)?
c) Calculate the time-dependent maximum, minimum, and differential settlements of the
foundation if sand is interrupted by a 2m-thick clay layer that starts at a depth of 5m
below the ground surface. Is it safe (and why)?
Note: For the clay, take Cc = 0.2 and e = 0.7.

Q2

A concrete strip footing with a width of B is founded at the depth of D, below the surface of a level site. The water table is at a depth of d below the base of footing. The soil at the site consists of clay having the following properties:

The unit weight = g_t,   the undrained cohesion = c_u, the undrained friction angle = f_u, the drained cohesion = c′ and the drained friction angle = f′

Use Hansen’s theory of bearing capacity to determine the allowable bearing pressure, which could be placed on the footing assuming a factor of safety of F for the following cases:

a) Immediately after loading the footing

b) Long time after loading the footing

Notes: The load is vertical. The ground and the base of footing are horizontal. D should be less than or equal to 2.5 B. The variable d can be positive (below the base), negative (above the base) or zero (at the base). Assume water level cannot be above the ground surface.

Trying to study this question on stress transformations and mohr's circle and am having some difficulty

The state of stress at a point is defined by sigma x = -30 MPa, sigma y = 20 MPa, and tau xy = 15 MPa. 1) Draw the Mohr’s circle and label the key features (e.g., sigma 1, sigma 2, tau max, theta p1, and theta p2). 2) Draw the element showing the principal planes, principal stresses and principal directions with proper labels. 3) Determine the normal and shear stresses on a plane inclined at alpha (degrees) = 30 to horizontal turned anticlockwise. Show the procedure in the Mohr’s circle, with proper labels.
