How would you go about testing rainfall records to access their reliability? you can assume that other rainfall records are available both in the same region and within close regions

Produce a fully researched and referenced report (indicative word range 2,250–2,500 words) for a client that explains a particular system, type or design of an innovative modern method of construction suitable for a new primary school.
Your report should:
• include a critical appraisal that evaluates the relative merits of this method of construction over that of a more traditional type of construction;
• address various environmental and sustainability issues.

Please state any assumptions you make in the report. Assumptions can be made as to any specific type of facility, arrangements, layout or size. Please ensure that you write in your own words and that all sources are fully referenced.
Report guidance
The report could look at an offsite system of prefabricated schools.

Chapter 1 and 2 "The Revolt of Engineers": Layton describes the approaches of the four founder societies of engineering professionals--ASCE, AIME, ASME, and AIEE. In 3-4 sentences, state which of these organizations would be most appealing to you to join based on its membership criteria, stances on professional behavior, and relationship to business, and why. In 1-2 sentences, state which would be least appealing and why?

A square footing 4 m × 4 m is located at a depth of 1.0 m in a layer of saturated clay 13 m thick, a firm stratum lies immediately below the clay. Characteristic parameters obtained from oedometer and triaxial tests for the clay are as follows: A= 0.42, cu =100 kPa, , u  0 c' 0, ' 32, 0.065 / , 2 mv  m MN 3  sat  21kN / m , Eu = 300cu. Determine the total settlement under the centre of the footing carrying a net pressure of 200 kPa using Skempton-Bjerrum method.

A) draw the stres-strain diagram for a typical steel bar under tensile test showing all details of the results of the test.

B) A material like aluminium does not have an abviouse yield point and undergoes large starin after the proportionality limit draw the sketch to show how the arbitrary yield stress is determined.
C) ASteel sample of diameter 30mm and guage length 60mm gave under tensile test the following results.
a) load at limit proportionality 70,000N and the extension 0.045mm.
b) load at yield 80,000N.
c) maximum load 130,000N
the two parts where joined together after being broken.the length between guage points was found to be 80mm and the diameter at the neck 20mm calculate:-

1) the modulus of elasticity E?
2) the stress at the limit proportionality?
3) yield stress?
4) ultimate limit stress?
5) percentage elongation?
6) percentage cinstruction?
