1. Calculate the angular misclosure and adjust the interior angles. Compute the azimuth angles for the lines BC, CD and DA based on the adjusted angles. Calculate the departure and latitude for the all the lines. Balance the computed departure and latitude for all the lines. Calculate the coordinates for the stations B, C, and D based on the give coordinate for the station A. Compute the final lengths and azimuth angles.

A column is to support a statue concentrically that weighs 200 kN. The cross section of the column is a regular hexagon with a hole in its center. The diameter of the hole is 75mm. If the stress in the column is limited to 250 MPa, what is the measure of one side of the hexagon? Answer should be in mm.

i: A hydraulic shovel with a bottom-dump bucket with a heaped bucket volume of 5 m³ is excavating tough clay. The swing angle is 47 degrees and the job efficiency is 0.86. Calculate the shovel production in BCM

ii: Estimate the time required to load 452 m³ of gravel from a stockpile into trucks using a clamshell having a heaped bucket capacity of 0.57 m³. The estimated cycle time is 20s. Swing depth factor = 1.0. Job efficiency is estimated to be 51min/h.

iii: A small hydraulic excavator will be used to dig a trench in hard clay. The trench size is 0.76 m wide by 1.52m deep. The excavator bucket available is 0.76 m wide and has a heaped capacity of 0.51m³. The maximum digging depth of the excavator is 4.90 m. The average swing angle is expected to be 75° and the job efficiency is 71 %. Estimate the hourly trench production in BCM and in linear meters of a trench.

Explain these different forms of phasing: •   Leading right turn •   Lagging right turn •   Leading-through-lagging •   Split approach •   Diamond overlap

True or false: all traffic facing a green circle display has right of way

True or false: all traffic turning in the direction of a green arrow has right of way

Explain the yellow trap (also known as the right turn trap)

1. What area is defined as the GFCI Zone in a kitchen? What is the maximum distance permitted along a wall at the counter work surface in a kitchen between receptacle outlets?

Typically, increase the fineness of portland cement will _________ the rate of hydration process.
A. increase             B. decrease             C. not affect

In what case the concrete can benefit from the high heat generated during hydration process? And what case the high heat will have negative effect on the concrete?

Define the following terminologies and identify their differences: density, relative density, bulk density, specific gravity and unit weight.

A small village is located near a stream which is to be used as the source of water supply for

the community. The minimum flow in the stream is 550 m3/h. The population analysis

reveals that the population is expected to increase linearly from a population of 10,000 in

2008 to 30,000 in 2058.

The water consumption of the community is estimated to reach an annual average demand

of 300 L/capita/day, a maximum daily demand of 1.8 times the annual average and peak

hourly demand of 1.5 times the daily average.

Would you be able to supply these demands directly from the stream? If not, what would

you recommend?

a) In the year 2030

b) In the year 2058

(a) Briefly explain what is dry friction with the aid of diagrams  

We know that layout planning is deciding the best physical arrangement of all resources within a facility and facility resource arrangement can significantly affect productivity.

1. What are the different types of layout? Explain each type with some examples with pictures (downloaded from the internet).
2. Based on your understanding and knowledge about facility layouts, explain the existing layout of your kitchen at home. (You can draw a rough sketch of the existing kitchen layout)
3. What are the pros and cons of the current kitchen layout?

Now we also know that there is always room for improvement (Kaizen). If you are given a chance to redesign your kitchen,

4. What changes will you make and please also sketch the proposed layout?
5. Give reasons for the changes you have made.

Two piezometers are installed 2430 m apart in a confined aquifer. The head at the first piezometer is measured as 29.1 m and the head at the second piezometer as 26.7 m. The aquifer has a saturated thickness of 17.3 m, and hydraulic conductivity of 8x10^-4 m/s, and effective porosity of 0.16.

Determine:

1.1. without any calculation, predict the direction of groundwater flow

1.2. the discharge rate through the aquifer in m³/d/m of aquifer width

1.3. the specific discharges (Darcy velocity)

1.4. the pore velocity (seepage velocity)

1.5. the time for water to travel between two piezometers in years

5. How can you reduce the quantity of granular materials for construction of pavements to be constructed on marine clay deposits in coastal areas of Australia?

6. You may notice some distresses in bituminous pavements in your local suburb. Include the site photographs of at least 2 types of distress, and explain their possible causes.
