A building is next to a horizontal curve with a 132 ft. radius on a 2 lane rural highway. The inside lane is 10 feet wide, and the building is 6 feet from the shoulder, which is 4 feet wide.

a) What sight distance is available to the driver at the critical point?

b) Assuming design values for driver perception and reaction time and longitudinal deceleration, What is the maximum speed that would provide appropriate stopping sight distance?

PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT.

2. Calculate the volume and dimensions of a rectangular sedimentation tank for a flow rate of 10,000 gpm based on a maximum overflow rate of 650 gallons per day/sq ft. Also, determine the length of the effluent weir and calculate the horizontal flow velocity in the tank.

Once you have reached your elevation grade, what would be the next step to fill the cavities and what are the benefits of filling the cavities? There is more than one method that can be used to accomplish this goal.

Briefly explain the types of SEEA-Energy accounts.

Calculate the time of concentrations (or overland flow) for the two sub-areas of a watershed given below by multiple applicable methods (at least 3). Compare your answers for each method and watershed and discuss which may be the most accurate and why.

Determine the maximum allowable spacing of joist used with nominal 1-inch lumber decking if the design load is 200 psf. Assume the decking is continuous over 3 or more spans and is hemlock-fir. Limit deflection to I/360. Assume 1x12 Do not apply 7 day load duration factor or reduction factor for wet conditions.

How did the growth of tobacco impact the land, culture, economy, politics, and social relations both in North America and throughout the Atlantic?

An underground storage tank (UST) containing tricholoroethane has ruptured and contaminated the subsurface.  The plume extends a distance of 390 feet (length) and 130 feet wide at this distance.  The depth of the plume is 10 feet and the seasonal high groundwater table is at a depth of 5 feet.  Provide a preliminary design and layout of a SVE system.

Determine:

a. Required no of extraction wells and their layout

b. Volumetric capacity in CFM and operating pressure of blower. c.  How can you improve removal efficiency?

a predominant force or most significant force is selected and model is designed on the basis of ratio of this force. What is the reason for this? What happens to other forces?

Le Corbusier was fascinated by certain engineering objects. This interest was well expressed in his book Towards a new Architecture (1923) and well captured by his definition of house as “a machine for living in”. In a similar vein, Walter Gropius outlined the new orientation of his school as “the Bauhaus believes the machine to be our modern medium of design and seeks to come to terms with it.”

What do these two statements mean? What is the relation between ‘architecture’ and ‘machine’ as stated by these two architects? Explain your answer by using at least one building by Le Corbusier and one building by Walter Gropius.

Provide and discuss a comprehensive definition of both the built environment and the social environment.

*Provide relevant references in APA style format.
