There are several steps in a basic level-of-service determination for an uninterrupted flow facility. Briefly define the following three facilities: 1) basic freeway 2) multilane highway and 3) two-lane highway. Furthermore, compile a table with the base conditions and steps (formulas/equations/tables) on how to determine the level of service of each of the three facilities listed above.

Design a plain concrete mix required for 400mm deep RCC beam to be constructed in New Girls Hostel at GIK Institute (you can assume workability). The specified compressive strength is 32 MPa at 28 days. The standard deviation of the concrete producer is 3.0 MPa. Select nominal maximum-size coarse aggregate from following data

1. Min. distance b/w two reinforcing bar is 40mm
2. Min. distance b/w reinforcing bar and concrete surface (clear cover) is 42mm
3. Thick of slab is 120mm
4. Concrete is not pump-able

The specific gravity of fine aggregate (FA) and coarse aggregate (C.A) are 2.5 and 2.6 respectively. The dry rodded bulk density of C.A. is 1650 kg/m3, and fineness modulus (FM) of FA is 2.70.

C.A. is found to be absorptive to the extent of 5 % and free surface moisture (moisture content) in sand is found to be 5 per cent .Assume any other essential data, concrete should be durable against sulfate and chloride attack.

Question 5 (1 point)

Match the term with the definition.

Question 5 options:

A singly reinforced beam 47.2cm×28.3cm, is provided with 5 bar of each diameter 2.2cm. determine:
1) percentage of excess steel used
2) moment of resistance
3)Actual stress develop in steel and concrete
4) maximum allowable central load that can be put if it is carrying a uniformly distributed load of 850kg/m over a simple supported length of 3.2m.

How the behavior of a SDOF is going to be affected by a non-linear elastoplastic behavior of the spring? Why?

In which stage of the industry life cycle would you place Genetic Engineering. I think Genetic Engineering is the start up stage. Why is it the start up stage?  Can you provide more detail on the start up stage.

Two systems were constructed to disinfect a raw water source. One of the systems was designed as a CSTR, the other as PER (tank divided into 3, 5m long passes using vertical baffles).The flow rate is 90 m^3/day. The influent coliform is count 100. Both tanks have a volume of 30 m^3 (H= 2m, W=3m, L=5m). Chlorine is added as the disinfectant. The disinfection rates follows a first order relationship as follows

dN/dt = kN

Where N is the number of coliforms in the systems, k is the first order disinfection constant (9/day) What is the expected coliform concentration in the effluent from each system?

A company is using an outdoor pond to get rid of some organic material in a 500 gallons/ hour wastewater stream. In the current situation, the pond which has a surface area of 1.00 acre (= 43,560 ft^2) and the average depth of 6 ft, removes of 62% of the organic material, but the company is not satisfied with this rate of removal and plans on digging a second pond to provide additional treatment of the effluent so that a total of 95% of the organics are removed from the wastewater. The company’s data indicates that, being outdoors the existing pond is subject to evaporation at the rate of 25 gallons/hour. For geographical reasons, the additional pond cannot be dug deeper than the existing pond and must therefore have a depth of no more than 6 ft. (a) Estimate the decay coefficient of the organics in the existing pond. (b) Determine the area (in acres) that the planned needs to have to enable the company to achieve its goal of 95% removal of the organics. For this assume that the second pond is place in series from the first (that is, the effluent of the first pond feeds the second pond), that the decay constant will be the same in the second pond as it presently is in the first pond, and that water loss by evaporation is proportional to the surface area of the pond.

a) What is the difference between an AADT and an ESA?

b) Why would you consider adopting a longer design life for a pavement?

c) What are three different methodologies for forecasting traffic volumes? What are their strength

1. Conceptually describe how you would evaluate the initial grade of the new segmental culvert so that in its final condition (i.e. after all settlement is complete) it slopes with a 4% grade. The culvert will be installed prior to construction of the embankment (i.e. the embankment will be filled over the culvert).

A 3 m by 3 m square footing is sitting 1.6 m below the ground surface. The anticipated column loads include a moment (M=50 kN.m), a horizontal force (Qh=40kN, acting in the same direction as the moment) at the ground surface and a vertical force (Qv=260kN). Determine the minimum and maximum stress beneath the footing and draw the stress profile diagram to scale.

Wondering if I am doing these calculations correctly I have a lab report due today.
