A grade line AB having a slope of -4% intersect another grade line BC having a slope of +2% at B. The elevations of points A, B and C are 93 m, 87 m and 92 m respectively. Determine the:
a) elevation of the sag of the 200 m vertical parabolic curve to connect the grade lines;
b) location of sag from where the curve starts;
c) station of sag if PI is at station 10+20 (format: 00+00.00);
d) vertical distance from point B to curve;
e) elevation at station 09+80.

Q.1 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?
Note: Explain in detail answer quetion.

Wage and Tax Statement Data on Employer Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax used to finance federal programs for old-age and disability benefits (social security) and health insurance for the aged (Medicare).FICA Tax
Ehrlich Co. began business on January 2. Salaries were paid to employees on the last day of each month, and social security tax, Medicare tax, and federal income tax were withheld in the required amounts. An employee who is hired in the middle of the month receives half the monthly salary for that month. All required The total amount paid to employees for a certain period.payroll tax reports were filed, and the correct amount of payroll taxes was remitted by the company for the calendar year. Early in the following year, before the Wage and Tax Statements (Form W-2) could be prepared for distribution to employees and for filing with the Social Security Administration, the A detailed record of each employee's earnings.employees' earnings records were inadvertently destroyed.
None of the employees resigned or were discharged during the year, and there were no changes in salary rates. The social security tax was withheld at the rate of 6.0% and Medicare tax at the rate of 1.5% on salary. Data on dates of employment, salary rates, and employees' income taxes withheld, which are summarized as follows, were obtained from personnel records and payroll records:
| Employee | Date First Employed | Monthly Salary | Monthly Income Tax Withheld | ||
| Arnett | Nov. 16 | $3,300 | $488 | ||
| Cruz | Jan. 2 | 5,100 | 959 | ||
| Edwards | Oct. 1 | 2,500 | 310 | ||
| Harvin | Dec. 1 | 2,600 | 322 | ||
| Nicks | Feb. 1 | 10,200 | 2,295 | ||
| Shiancoe | Mar. 1 | 3,600 | 551 | ||
| Ward | Nov. 16 | 8,400 | 1,814 | ||
Required:
1. Calculate the amounts to be reported on each employee's Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2). Enter amounts to the nearest cent if required. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
| Employee | Gross Earnings | Federal Income Tax Withheld | Social Security Tax Withheld | Medicare Tax Withheld | ||||
