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.

The permittivity of a geotextile fabric to stormwater (15°C) is 0.05/sec. What would be the new permittivity if the stormwater was replaced by saltwater (also 15°C)? By gasoline? Be sure to cite where you found values for viscosity and density.

The involves building a 80 feet highX80X100 foot in dimension reinforced concrete structure with 3 - foot thick walls in the river that extends to twenty feet below river bottom in soft clay. Water depth at the location is 30 feet. The structure starts at 200 feet from the river edge where land is about 5 feet above the river level.The project needs to be completed in 800 days. Determine the amount and types of equipment you feel should be used on this project

A Simply supported rectangular, tension-reinforced beam is to be designed for dead load of 0.75 k/ft plus self weight and service live load of 2.0 k/ft, with a 30 -ft simple span. Material strength will be fy = 60 ksi and fc = 5 ksi for steel and normal weight concrete respectively.

Start the design of the beam dimensions using the rules of thumbs in class. The total beam depth, h, must not exceed twice the width.

Calculate the required beam dimensions and tensile steel requirement (As required) to carry the Maximum moment found at mid span. Start with a steel ratio of half of "usable rho" in Table 27.2 in the text. Use ACI load factors and strength reduction factors. The effective depth (d) may be assumed at 3 inches less than the total depth (h).

Draw a sketch clearly showing spacing, cover, and bar locations.
