QUESTION 4: PUBLIC PARTICIPATION “People are not demanding solutions, they are demanding the right to participate in the formulation of the solutions”. (Study Guide: Section 17.3). In view of the above statement, describe the proposed process of public participation with specific emphasis on the role of the town planner in such processes.

You are working as an assistant in a design office. A developer in your local area has contacted your company looking for advice as to what would be a suitable project to meet the needs of the local community but also be a profitable investment. The developer is considering a number of different sites in the area. please research your local area(Hong Kong) and select an appropriate construction-based project.

given in the table below. The specific gravity of the particles is 1.2 and water

temperature is 20°C.

(M=1.0087x10 Ns/m2,P =998.23 kg/m3)

particale size mm (( 0.1 , 0.08 , 0.07 ,0.06 ,0.04 ,0.02 ,0.01))

Weight fraction greater than size % ((10,15,40,70,93,99,100))

1. Discuss which specific sector of crucial infrastructure you think is least critical (example: chemical, commercial, communication, dams, emergency services, energy, food & agriculture, healthcare, IT, nuclear reactors, transportation, waster & waste?)

2. Discuss what sectors you think to be present within your neighborhood & provide examples.

3. Why do you think that Sector-Specific Plans should be confidential or unclassified, & offer example recommendations

4. Do you think there is other critical infrastructures that belongs in the Sector-Specific Plans?

1. Provide a simple definition of structural design.

2. Give a description of both the LRFD and ASD design approaches. What is the fundamental

   difference between the methods?

3. Identify three sources of variation in the strength of a structure and its components.

4. Provide two examples of serviceability limit states.

What would be the percent change in deflection if a solid rectangular beam has its unsupported length changed from 30 inches to 36 inches?   SHOW YOUR CALCULATION. What does this tell you about the importance of unsupported beam length in structural design?

Assuming that electricity will be produced, compare the use of a pyrolysis or gasification system to a conventional mass burn combustion system. Under what conditions would a pyrolysis or gasification system be used?

Why is artificial intelligence bad for our future?

Cone of Depression – determini

ng the maximum pumping rate fo

r a specified draw down.

(+20)

A consulting company decides to u

se Pump & Treat to remove the

TCE plume from the aquifer. For an

unconfined aquifer such as this, t

here is a possibility that dr

awdown during the Pump & Treat operation will

lower the water table to the

bottom of the well and that the wa

ter will stop flowing (thi

s is bad). Suppose a 6

inch diameter well is installed

which fully penetrates the 15-m

thick aquifer which has a hydraulic

conductivity of 0.001 m/s. Deter

mine the maximum pumping rate

(in gallons per minute, gpm) that can be

sustained indefinitely if the dr

awdown at an observation well 5

00 m from the pumped well is 12 m and the

drawdown at the pumped well is

limited by the depth of the aqui

fer and the height of the submersible pump,

which you may estimate at 0.3 m

(i.e., drawdown in the pumping

well may not exceed 14.7 m).

Answer: Q = 50.5 gpm.

Usually, for a given slump, the cement and water demand will _________ as the maximum size of coarse aggregates decrease.
A. increase                B. decrease                  C. not change

Compare between curve A and B in the particle size distribution figure shown below, which one represents a well-graded aggregate? Your answer is _________.

What are the major similarities and differences between pozzolanic and hydraulic reactions for cementitious materials? (2 points)

Please explain why the impermeability and chemical corrosion resistance of the concrete are improved by using supplemental cementitious materials?

Identify and discuss the factors that can cause polls results to be wrong.​

Assessment 5.0: Ensuring fitness for purpose of the signalling system 5.1 Produce a report (300 words min) that explains how the sequential stages of installation, testing and commissioning of a new signalling system ensure it is fit for purpose. Your report should focus on the individual stages and the competence and equipment required and how the results of activities are recorded to be passed on to the next stages.

5.2 Produce a report (300 words min) that describes the need for maintenance, maintenance cycles and consequences of failure if maintenance is not carried out correctly
