ConsensusDocs 750 vs. AIA A401‐2007:

comparing the risk shifting aspects of the different AIA and Consensus subcontract forms. Then answer the questions below.

Imagine a situation in which you are employed as a project manager by a very large, multinational General Contractor. Given your company’s market share and financial strength, you are in a position to impose extraordinary amounts of risk on the subcontractors on your projects. If you choose to allocate extraordinary risks to your subcontractors, is that necessarily in the best interest of your company? Please discuss the pros and cons of this risk allocation strategy.

Next, assume you work for a subcontractor to whom extraordinary risk is being allocated. What is your strategy for dealing with this situation? Given the differences between the two forms, as the Subcontractor, identify which form you would prefer to use if your primary concern is:

Consequential damages

Dispute resolution

Indemnity

Insurance

Briefly explain how the characteristic strength of structural timber (for example, bending strength fb) is derived.

How the country to which you have been assigned is impacted by population challenges such as growth, aging, migration, and urbanization.

How the country to which you have been assigned is contributing to or helping to resolve population challenges such as growth, aging, migration, and urbanization.

Determine the elastic neutral axis,I,S, plastic neutral axis,Z,ξ (shape factor), yield moment, and plastic moment about the x-axis only for the beam sections below:

a. WT10.5×61

b. L6×6×5/8

Note:For unsymmetric sections, determine S-top and S-bottom

What is the effect of the lower natural frequencies?

What is the effect of higher damping?

Regarding a "No Damage For Delay Clause", answer the following:

1. What is it and why is it important for a General Contractor to know if its Owner contract contains one?

2. Under what circumstances is a "No Damage For Delay Clause" unenforceable or stated another way, when will a Court refuse to apply a "No Damage For Delay Clause" as written?

The maximum annual flows of a river can be modeled by the Gumbel law. The average of flow rates calculated with 57 years of observations is 8 m3/s and the standard deviation is 2.4 m3/s. The region is flooded with damage when the flow exceeds 10 m3/s.

a) What is the return period of the 10 m3/s flow.

b) What is the throughput for a 100 year return period.

c) Determine the 95% confidence interval around the flow calculated in b).

Name the 4 categories of microbiological contaminants and for two of them, give an example microorganism.

Calculate the firewater demand in (m³/min) for a building having 25 floors including basement. Building is constructed with non-combustible construction material and serving total population of 1400. Assume area of each floor as 9800 ft². Using following formulas:                                 [5 Marks]

a). Insurance Services Office Formula

b). Equation for National Board of Fire Underwriters

c). If fire water demand is required for 4 hours calculate the volume of water storage tank in m³ (For Part b only)

Instructions: Find the values of required parameters from class notes or course book.

Also use 1 gallon = 7.8 Liter.
