A nonslender square corner column is subjected to biaxial bending about its x and y axises. It suppoerts a factored load Pu= 300,000 lbs acting at eccentricities ex=ey= 7 in. Design the column size and reinforcement needed to resist the applied stresses. Given: f'c = 4000 psi fy = 60,000 psi. d'=2.5 in. Gross reinforcement percentage, px=0.03. Solve by using all three methods.

Some advocate for small scale wind turbines, for instance, on buildings in urban areas etc. An advantage would be more distributed generation, close to usage (reduced transmission loss etc.) Comment on ‘micro-wind’ projects from an engineering perspective (scaling, physics etc.)

The engineering calculation on the telecommunication project is needed to analyze the feasibility of the project and the total value of investments. As the Project Manager, you have to do the financial analysis of your telecommunication project to get the conclusion of whether this feasible to run the project or not. You have to prove your analysis by giving the project calculation in terms of Net Present Value (NPV), Present Worth Analysis, and Break-Even Point (BEP) based on the initial investment, % of interest, and the project period are given.
The Detail Situation:
The company is considering the installation of a high-end server for handling the system with the first initial cost [check point A]. This system will save $7,500,000 per year in spare part cost, but it will incur $2,750,000 in annual operating and maintenance expenditures. The salvage value at the end of the system’s X-year [check point B] life is [check point C].
At the end of the project, the company will invest the new server for the next X upcoming year [check point B] with initial the initial cost of $50,000,000. This new system will save $8,500,000 per year in spare part cost, but it will incur $3,850,000 in annual operating and maintenance expenditures. The salvage value at the end of the system’s X-year [check point B] is negligible.
There is another option to cover the requirement by combining 2
different situations. At the first X years [check point B], the
company will rent a high-end server for handling system the rent
cost $5,000,000/ year. There is no budget that needs to be
allocated for spare part cost, and it will incur $1,500,000 in
annual operating and maintenance expenditures. In the second
period, the company will invest the new server for the next X
upcoming year
[check point B] with initial the initial cost of $50,000,000. This new system will save $8,500,000 per year in spare part cost, but it will incur $3,850,000 in annual operating and maintenance expenditures. The salvage value at the end of the system is negligible.
If the company’s hurdle rate (MARR) is X% per year [check point D], which scenario that should be recommended for implementation?
Group C (att.list no 7- 9):
- The first initial cost [point A] = $35,000,000
- Project duration [point B] = 8 years
- The salvage value at the end of the system’s [point C] = $2.500,000.
- (MARR) is = 12 % per year.

A new landfill site is to be designed with a projected
life of 32 years for a population of 220000 generating 2.27 kg
waste/capita/day. The density of the compacted waste is 537 kg/m3.
The height of landfill cannot exceed 13 meters. Please use the
knowledge of solid waste management (especially landfill design) to
describe the area (width x length) required for that landfill, if:
a. The landfill does not have slopes
b. The landfill has slopes (3:1 ratio)
