B05 - Construction Surveying - Assignment 8

Explain the process for establishing the line and grade for a sanitary sewer line connection to an existing municipal sanitary manhole. Include the type of sewer flow, the importance of the pipe invert and reach of the sewer in determining the slope of the pipe, factors that determine the use of manholes, the use of batter boards and offset stakes, minimum ground cover required. In addition, discuss the use of visual aid such as field notes and a simple plan and profile drawing in establishing the line and grade.

Ethics of Cloning

Oliver Owner wishes to build an office building. Oliver hired Original Architect, Inc. to create the design. Over several months, Original Architect, Inc. gave Oliver several drafts of increasing detail. Uninspired by what he saw, Oliver terminated its contract with Original Architect, Inc. and hired Replacement Architect, Inc. in its place. Oliver gave Replacement Architect, Inc. the last drawing Oliver had received from Original Architect, Inc. Replacement Architect, Inc. used this last drawing to create its own final design. Oliver then hired Prime Builder, Inc. to be the prime contractor on the job. The contract price was for a fixed amount, with work to be completed in one year. The project did not go smoothly. Oliver failed to obtain a zoning change on time, and work had to begin one month late. Meanwhile, Prime Builder, Inc. found the design literally impossible to implement; for example, all of the specified conduits would not fit into the space allotted, forcing Replacement Architect, Inc. to redesign. This took Replacement Architect, Inc. two weeks to do. Meanwhile, Replacement Architect, Inc. was unhappy with the quality of the contractor’s work. Within a week after the foundation was poured, it began to crack. Replacement Architect, Inc. determined the soil preparation work was not properly done. It ordered Prime Builder, Inc. to remove the foundation and redo the soil preparation, which the contractor did. The project was finished three months late. As a result, several commercial tenants who had promised to move into the new building found rentals elsewhere. Overwhelmed with all the problems on the construction project, Oliver did not even try to find replacement tenants until two months after the building was completed. Eventually, Oliver fully rented the building.

What will likely happen? What are the likely outcomes? Why? Calculate the damages.

Task 1:

a)  Assume the mix is made with Type I cement, with no pozzolans or admixtures, and that the temperature of concrete at placing is 75°F. The unit weight of concrete is 150 pcf with a slump of 3.75 inches.

Design forms for 13’-8” high wall to be concreted at the rate of 6 ft per hour, internally vibrated. The forms will be used only once, so short-term loading stresses will apply.

Use form grade plywood sheathing 7/8 in. thick in 5×10-ft sheets, and 5,250-lb coil ties are on hand Framing lumber of No. 2 Douglas Fir-Larch is to be purchased as required.

b) Draw the pressure diagram for a wall form 15 feet tall in which concrete will be placed at a rate R = 10 feet per hour when the temperature is 60^oF. Draw the diagram if the wall were only 6 feet tall.
