A six-lane freeway with three lanes in each direction has regular weekday users. The
lanes are 12 feet wide, the right-side shoulder is 2 ft wide, and there are two ramps
within 3 miles upstream and two ramps within 3 miles downstream of the segment
midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 12% large trucks and buses and 2%
recreational vehicles. The peak hour factor is 0.85. Determine the maximum hourly
volumes that can be sustained at LOS C and LOS D densities.

1. Corporate safety plans, site specific safety plans, and emergency response plans are very long and detailed. Employees are usually trained in the application of these plans but what happens to workers and the company if an employee with duties in these plans does not remember something they are responsible to do in the plans when an accident or emergency happens? Please write a comprehensive answer including 1) possible reasons what went wrong, 2) what can be the consequences and 3) how it should be avoided in future (one page long).

A single crystal of a metal that has the FCC crystal structure is oriented such that a tensile stress is applied parallel to the [110] direction. The critical resolved shear stress for this material is 1.75 MPa.
1) Calculate the magnitude of applied stress necessary to cause slip to occur on the (111) plane in the (1-10) direction.
2) Calculate the magnitude of applied stress necessary to cause slip to occur on the (111) plane in the (10-1)direction.
3) Which of these two slip systems is the most favourably oriented (which system will see first plastic deformation)?

What is this asking ???
A surveyor compares the bearings at two ends of a line underground by using a gyrotheodolite. The results at each end can be compared after they are corrected for grid convergence, meridian convergence, deflection of the vertical and index error in the instrument. Could the effects of deflection of the vertical be ignored in practice? (Look up some values of the deflection of the vertical in extreme cases, and estimate how much they affect directions).
