A 50 m3/s is conveyed down a 5-m wide rectangular channel (n =
0.012) with a slope
of 0.02 m/m. The channel transitions into a second channel with a
slope of 0.0008 m/m. A
hydraulic jump occurs on the downstream channel. What is the
downstream depth of the
second channel after the jump? What is the depth of the water
before the jump? What is
the energy loss due to the jump? How long is the total distance of
the hydraulic jump?

Does your organization produce a corporate or organizational sustainability report? If yes, locate the most recent report and review the initiatives documented there. Are there any initiatives of which you are unaware? If no report is presently produced, what initiatives within the organization would you recommend including in a future report?

Your boss asks you to design a commercial-industrial building with planned column loads of 2,000 kN. For each of the locations described below, list the type(s) of foundations you would consider in preliminary planning. Briefly explain your choice.
1) Urban fill extending to depths of ~5 m, followed by ~50-60 m of a soft lacustrine fat clay deposit.
2) Peat to a depth of 2 m underlain by a thick dense granular deposit, the groundwater table is near the surface.
3) A thin (<0.5 m) layer of topsoil over a thick (~10 m) marine sand deposit over competent bedrock.
4) Variable glacial deposits to a depth of ~20 m. These deposits consist of smaller layers of dense granular deposits and overconsolidated fine-grained deposits with cobbles and present at developed locations in the area. Groundwater is variable with several perched aquifers.

A 240 hp (power-shift) dozer is used in a pushing operation. The
dozer is equipped
with a straight blade. The material (dry and noncohesive) weighs 98
pcf in the bank
state. It is estimated the material will swell 6%, from bank to
loose state. The center-of
mass–to–center-of-mass pushing distance is 200 ft. Job efficiency
can be assumed to
be equivalent to a 45-min hour. Calculate the production in bcy per
hour and the
direct cost of the proposed earthmoving operation in dollars per
bcy. The company’s
normal O&O cost for these machines is $95 per hour and the
operator’s wage is
$15.00 per hour plus 40% for fringes, insurance, and worker’s
compensation. (207
bcy/hr, $0.561/bcy).

A method for remediating ground water contaminated with perchloroethylene is to allow contaminated water to pass through a permeable region containing iron metal and having the perc reduced to ethylene and the iron changed to ferric hydroxide.
Write the full balanced redox reaction for the degradation of perchloroethylene to ethylene by iron metal being oxidized to ferric hydroxide.
