b) ) Determine the modulus of elasticity for a masonry prism made of Concrete masonry units compressive strength of 4050 psi and type N mortar.
c) What is modulus of rupture of masonry flexural tensile stress normal to bed joints in running bond with solid units and PCL type M mortar.
d) An engineer type of brick is used in two wythe wall with a standard CMU both laid in mortar bed joints in their stretcher position, mortar joint thickness is 3/8-in. Wall designed for composite action a)what is the allowable shear stress for a mortared collar joints according to MSJC code b) if it was grouted collar joints then what is the allowable shear stress according to MSJC code.

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).
