Using the regime-theory method, design a channel to carry wastewater from a manufacturing plant. Assume a design discharge of 950 ft3/s.950 ft3/s. The channel will have a sand bed and banks. Use a Manning’s roughness coefficient of 0.025.
Assume: Water Temp = 60°F, slope = 0.25%

A clean sand deposit has a total unit weight gabove the groundwater table of
18.9 kN/m3and a submerged unit weight of 9.84 kN/m3. The groundwater table
is located 1.5 m below ground surface. Standard penetration tests were
performed at 3 m below the ground surface with a blow count of 3 blows for
the first 150mm, 4 blows for the second 150mm and 5 blows for the third
150mm. Estimate the shear wave velocity of the sand at 3 m below the ground
surface. If a cone penetration test was performed at 3m below the ground
surface and the cone tip resistance was 3.9 MPa, estimate the shear wave velocity.
Compare the values obtained from both approaches.

Hi I need Stress Strain Graphs to be made for the following data tables. There should be 3 graphs, one for each table. I also need to know what material each sample is made of. I assume this is calculated from calculating the Modulus of Elasticity E. However I do not really know. I appreciate everything. There is an image of the tables as well as the data itself below this post.
Include the Following

During the construction phase of a health-care project, delays not attributed to the
contractor were experienced, but the contractor was delayed in submitting all delay
information required by the contract until 7 days before the contractual completion date,
can the architect issue an extension of time prior to the completion date? Explain.

The city of Stillwater is planning to install a new settling tank as an upgrade to their existing water treat plant. You run a batch settling test using a 2.0 m column and coagulated water from their existing tank and collect the following data (Table 1). Using this data, design a settling tank to remove 65% of the influent suspended solids. Assume a design flow of 0.5 m3/s. Use scale up factors of 0.65 for overflow rate and 1.75 for detention time (Eckenfelder 1980). Discuss your results.

A process to remove contaminant A includes two independent pipes flowing into a cylindrical reactor, and a single outlet port. The reactor has a diameter of 2.8 m and a height of 2 m. The flow in the larger of the inlet pipes is 2.5 m3/s and contains 50 μg/L of A. The smaller pipe also carries contaminant A at a rate of 5x104 μg/s. Under these conditions, the reactor’s outlet flow is 3.25 m3/s. Assuming that the removal of contaminant A follows first-order kinetics (k = 0.35 s-1): a) Sketch the described process and write a mass-balance equation for contaminant A around the entire control volume assuming the reactor behaves as an ideal CSTR. Calculate the steady-state concentration of A in the reactor, in μg/L. Answer: C=23.2 µg/m3 b) Calculate the flow and concentration of A in the smaller pipe, in m3/s and μg/L, respectively. c) If the smaller pipe inlet valve is suddenly closed so that its flow into the reactor is completely stopped, what is the new steady-state concentration of A in the reactor, in μg/L? Answer: C =18.4 µg/m3 d) How long does it take the contaminant A concentration to regain steady-state condition after this change? Express answer in seconds. Answer: t = 53.8 s

A contractor has submitted a tender while specifying that it is available for acceptance for a
period of five weeks after the tender submission. However, the contractor withdrew its bid
after two weeks due to an unexpected rise in its workload. Can the owner recover the costs
for employing a different contractor? Explain.
