1. List three examples of new complex systems developed in the last 10 years, including their names, advanced technology used, and the societal need.

Determine the classification of a landfill that yields evaporation records of 2 200 mm per year and rainfall of 600 mm per year. The site receives only general waste from a rural community and the estimated current disposal rate is 0.80 Tons per day. The site life is expected to be 7 years.

1. Differentiate between the following;

   1. consolidation and settlement,

   2. immediate settlement and consolidation settlement.

   3. consolidation and compaction.

   4. over-consolidated soil and normally consolidated soil.

Traffic on a northbound highway segment is stationary and is composed of two families of vehicles; cars which travel at speed vc and trucks which travel at speed vt . A moving observer traveling in the opposing (i.e., southbound) direction travels a distance L in time T, L / T = v o. During this trip, the moving observer counts the number of (northbound) cars, mc, and the number of (northbound) trucks, mt, that pass her.

Derive an expression for the total flow of vehicles in the northbound direction in terms of the variables given.

The Problem involves building a 12 – foot diameter sewer at a bottom depth of 40 feet in loose sand with a water table at a depth of 8 feet. The alignment is along city streets. The project needs to be completed in 800 days. Determine the amount and types of equipment you feel should be used on this project. The sewer is ten miles in length.

Derive mathematical expressions that predict the effluent concentration of the batch reactor, completely mixed flow reactor, and plug flow reactor.

write in a table format, advantages and disadvantages of single, multiple and dual sourcing.

After detail underground inspection, the geotechnical engineer have located underground utilities consist of lines for telecommunication, electricity distribution and rail tunnels located at a depth starting at 2 meter below the ground surface. With the help of a diagram, provide and describe a geotechnical design flowchart of your proposed platform with regards to the findings by the geotechnical engineer mentioned.
