This is a three part problem. This is the second part. A trapezoidal (m1= m2 = sqrt(3 )) channel is made of finished concrete. The channel slope is 30° below the horizontal, and the water flow rate is 5 cfs. Find the Froude number.

Concrete is a composite material. From microscopic point of
view, it can be considered
as a three-phase composite with aggregate, cement paste and
interface zone between
these two components.
1. For concrete with 28-day compressive strength of 35 Mpa
(5076psi) made with
ordinary Portland cement and crushed granite aggregate, which phase
of the
concrete is generally the weakest?
2. If the granite aggregate for the concrete mentioned in (i) is
replaced by lightweight
aggregate. How would this affect the strength of concrete?
3. If we would like to increase the strength further, what approach
shall we take?

Select the lightest W section to support a uniform distributed load WD=0.5 kip/ft,
W=1.4 kip/ft in addition to the section self weight. The element will be simple
supported with a span of 24 ft. Use A36 (Deflection does not require to be verified).

A 600’ long sewer pipe is being placed into a trench. Place the pipe at a gravity drainage slope of 2% towards station 6+00. The invert elevation at its beginning station (0+00) is 5395.00’. The pipe has an outside diameter of 1’ and a wall thickness of 1”.
a) Prepare an Excel table that lists the elevations for the top of the pipe for the stations 0+00, 1+00, 2+00, 3+00, 4+00, 5+00 and 6+00 *.
b) Calculate the invert elevation for the pipe at station 6+00. *
Note: Elevations for the top of the pipe are used to place leveling rods at those stations and control the depth of the pipe during construction (since the bottom of the pipe is then inaccessible).
