below are the risks of the andersons dam. identify two actions that could be taken by system owners or users to manage these risks. Additionally, explain whether these management actions would eliminate, mitigate, or have little effect on the level of risk that you assessed?
risks of the anderson dam
-The high intensity rainfall may cause the frequent cases of over spilling resulting in over topping of the dam during high intensity earthquake.
-Earth quakes may cause over flooding of dam therby destabilizing its underneath soil resulting in a huge risk to the life of the people and their belongings.

The construction cost of a parking facility on a local university campus is $200,000. Assume that
maintenance will begin on the facility at the end of the third year of operation, and will increase by
$500/year until the end of the useful life of the facility. Maintenance costs are expected to accrue to
$2,000 during the third year of operation. If the interest rate is 7%, and the facility is expected to last
25 years, find the following (5 points):
a) The present worth of the maintenance costs of the facility (2 points)
b) The facility’s annual maintenance costs. (2 points)
c)
The university wants to charge an annual decal rate of $200/year. Is this a good economic
decision if there are 50 spaces in the parking facility? (1 point)

A cylindrical soil sample, 7.3 cm in diameter and 16.8 cm in height, is tested in a constant-head permeability apparatus. A constant head of 75 cm is maintained during the test. After 1 minute of testing, a total of 945.7 gm of water was collected. The temperature was 20 oC. The void ratio of the soil was 0.43. Calculate the following:
The hydraulic gradient
The flow rate
The discharge velocity
The seepage force per unit volume
The coefficient of permeability

Consider a T-shaped signalized intersection with the following geometric conditions and arrival vehicular flows in pcu/h as shown below. Assume the following:
▪ Left turn from the exclusive left-turn lane of northbound traffic (Lane NB1) is protected.
▪ Left turn from the shared left-turn and through lane of westbound traffic (Lane WB 1) is protected.
▪ The saturation flow rate for the exclusive left turn lane is 1785 pcu/hour. The saturation flow rates for all other lanes are 1700 pcu/hour.
▪ Amber of 3 sec. and all red of 2 sec. follow each through/right-turn green interval.
▪ Amber of 3 sec. follows the protected left-turn green interval.
▪ The pedestrian walk speed is 1.0 m/s and the pedestrian clearance time is 5 s.
Determine the designed signal timing. Present the duration of green and intergreen intervals for all phases in a tabular form
