1. Ensuring traceability of technical performance measures
2. Ensuring the process is followed closely and without skipping steps
3. Emphasizing picking the final design as quickly as possible
4. Allowing for re-consideration of issues raised earlier in the process such as in the problem definition step
5. Ensuring documentation for each step is being done
6. Ensuring there is total cost visibility of each option being considered in tradeoff studies

12 One key reason for allowing feedback to the original “problem definition” is that it could lead the process to an entirely different solution?

1.       True
2.       False

13 Circle all the reasons why it is important to consider the entire life cycle of a system’s design (there is more than one answer):

1. To ensure all the costs for various alternatives are known
2. To ensure you’ve designed for “disposability”
3. 14 psi
4. 15 psi

14 In the system engineering process, the step immediately after defining the problem is:

1. Do a functional analysis
2. Identify and prioritize TPM’s
3. Do a feasibility analysis
4. Explore the maintenance and support concept
5. None of the above

15 The systems engineering design process can be thought of as a:

1. A “best practice” built from past engineering design experiences including their faults and failures:
2. One of a number of different work processes that all give the same result
3. A way of maximizing the cost of doing a project
4. A way of minimizing the cost of doing a project

aDescribe the methods of construction plant and equipment used to erect steel and concrete frames. You must evidence including images and/or drawings of the construction plant and equipment and a statement of the advantages and disadvantages of each.

b Explain the use of steel and concrete frames in superstructures construction. You should include the use of steel and concrete in the context of merits and de-merits including the levels of skilled labour required, lifting and placement requirements and safe working access

c With superstructures comes the height associated with building above ground level.Explain the hazards and risks associated with superstructure activities.This should build on the evidence for Task a and b for this project.

a Describe different type of forms of substructure commonly used for commercial and industrial civil engineering project. You must explain the use of piling or rafts (sheet, contiguous and secant) foundation and deep drainage techniques for use with service ducts in this foundation project.

b Describe how drainage is integrated into substructures.

c Describe how utilities are integrated into the substructures. This should include deep reinforced concrete culverts and plant rooms, service ducting, cable trenching and service ducts. This should build on the evidence for Task a and Task b.

Mr. Phiri has been awarded a contract of supplying coarse aggregates to Junxi Engineering company who
are working on Lusaka-Ndola dual carriage way. One of the condition for Mr. Phiri to supply the coarse
aggregates is having his own quarry site and to employ a material’s Engineer for quality control purpose
and technical advice. The material’s Engineer will give guidance on site selection for coarse aggregates
which will be presented to the main contractor Junxi Engineering Company. You have been engage by Mr.
Phiri as a Material’s Engineer and the first task is to give him a report on the site selection for the quarry
site.
a. Write a technical report to Mr. Phiri on the site selection of the aggregates.
b. What is aggregate gradation, how is it carried out and its importance in concrete production for Civil
Engineering projects?
c. Propose material to use for access roads for the entrance and give reason for selecting that material

d. What are air-entraining agent and what properties of concrete will be affected if air-entraining agent
is added?

The Zambian Government has embarked on various developmental projects throughout the country. The
projects include Water and Sanitation, Roads, Schools and Hospitals. Private companies have also invested
in shopping malls in various parts of the country. This has resulted in a boost for the construction industry.
a. Discuss why there is an increase in the use of steel as compared to concrete in most of the building
works around the country under construction.
b. Consider the iron value chain from material extraction to disposal, at what point according to your
assessment is the most energy used? As a design engineer, at what stage do you think is your
intervention most important and what role can you play in making iron more sustainable?

c. One of the project which the Government is implementing is the water project in Western Province
of Zambia particularly Mongu District. Two surface concrete reservoirs of 1.5 Mega litres each will
be constructed within the Central Business District (CBD). Since the site is within the CBD, the wall
fence should be built and source of sand for block moulding will come from the same site as the area
is sandy and it is quite large. As a material/site Engineer advice on the type of material, construction
and precaution which should be considered for this project.
d. Some works which have already been completed for the water project especially buildings
constructed of concrete roofing have started leaking after 1 year. What could be the possible causes
of leaking roofs and how can this be sorted out.
