Define the different ways that glass can be affixed to framing systems?

Describe each of the systems used for metal and glass curtain wall design?

Consider a 12 - mile segment of an existing four - lane freeway having very restricted geometry with rolling terrain. Peak hour volume is 2000 veh/h and the flow consist of 12% trucks and 3% recreational vehicles. The traffic is commuter type with peak hour factor 0.92. The freeway segment can be accessed by 6 on - ramps and has 8 off - ramps. Freeway consists of two lanes in each direction of 11 feet width with lateral clearance of 6 feet. Find the LOS of freeway during peak hour. (Assume basic free flow speed to be 70mi/hr)

(M & W) Consider a residential area and two shopping centers that are possible destinations. From 7-8 PM on Friday night, 950 shopping vehicle trips leave the residential area for the two shopping centers. A joint shopping-trip mode-destination choice logit model is estimated and is given the following coefficients.

If shopping centers 1 and 2 have 245,000 ft2 and 420,000 ft2 of commercial floor space, respectively, determine the distribution of Friday night shopping trips by destination and mode. (Hint: Your choice set in this MNL model is four: 1) to center 1 by auto; 2) to center 1 by bus; 3) to center 2 by auto; and 4) to center 2 by bus.)

One way, one lane operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle

Design traffic condition A

Barrier curb on both sides.

QUESTION 1)

You are an engineer and its know that your project /activities plant production had cause an adverse health safety and environmental (HSE) impact. To improve the (HSE) quality, you have to cease your project activities or production for a period, resulting in the inability to meet the schedule and targets. how would you handle in a situation where there is a conflict between the IEM Regulation on Professional conduct and commercial consideration?

Question 2)

Engineers are often entrusted with the responsibility of implementing large scale projects involving millions of ringgits .in view of the large amount of money changing hands the integrity and ethical standards of engineers are being put to test . what measures can an engineer take to prevent corruption and unethical practice of cutting corners in order to safeguard the good image of the engineering profession?

1. Draw a schematic of a typical WWTP treatment train, including the major units for pretreatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment. Also, identify where solids are removed for the landfill and sludge is removed for subsequent biosolids treatment. (8 pts)

Define i) primary treatment, ii) secondary treatment, and iii) sludge stabilization.

Describe the micro-structure of a fully annealed sample

The average temperatures (°F) for an 8-day period are: 32,35,34,36,48,43,42, and 40. If the area has an initial SWE of 2.46 in, K=0.06in/deg-day, and a runoff coefficient of CR = 0.5, plot the estimated daily runoff (in) from the watershed and determine the total melt and runoff for the 8-day period.

Construct a BOD demand curve for a sample that has a first order reaction constant K of 0.16 day–1 (base 10) and a nitrogenous reaction constant KN 0.08 day–1 (base 10). Nitrification is not significant until a period of 7.5 days has passed. The ultimate first stage BOD is 335 mg/L and the ultimate nitrogenous demand is 120 mg/L. 1) What is the total BOD exerted at 10 days? 2) How many complete days are required to exert at least 90% of the expected demand?

A simply supported beam 10m long carries a uniform load of 24 kN/m. Using E = 200 GPa, I = 240x10^6 mm⁴

Using CBM (conjugate beam method):

A. Determine the rotation (in degrees) of the beam at a point 4m from the left support.

B. Determine the deflection at a point 4m from the left support.

Q. Describe briefly how the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) value can also be estimated based on a full scale loading trial. Explain why it is more reliable to use the Cv value obtained from a field trial than from a lab test ?
