The following information is given about a vertical curve:
Station of VPI = 150+00.00 feet
Elevation of VPI = 2500.00 feet
L = 1000.00 feet
g1 = -3.0%
g2 = 1.0%
(a) Find the stations and elevations of the BVC and EVC.
(b) Also, what is the station and elevation of the lowest point of the curve?
(c) Calculate the first and second differences on the curve elevations of the full stations

Q. No 3. The pressure drop Dp over a length L of pipe is assumed to depend on the average velocity V, the pipe’s diameter D ,the average height h of the roughness elements of the pipe wall, the fluid density ρ ,and the fluid viscosity µ .Write a relationship between the pressure drop and the other variables. Use Indicial Method (Rayleigh’s Method) only.

Air Pollutant Concentrations and Factors Affecting Air Pollution Air inversions greatly affect local air quality because pollution is trapped. Assume an inversion occurs over a 75 m x 50 m surface area and there is no way for the pollutant to escape. There are 100 cars and each one produces 10.5 µg/s of carbon monoxide (CO). Part a [1 points]: What is the concentration (in ppm) after 1 hour if the inversion is at 150. m? Part b [1 points]: What is the concentration (in ppm) after 1 hour if the inversion is at 1,500. m? Part c [1 point]: Is the NAAQS exceeded in either case? The 1-hr concentration for CO should not exceed 35 ppm. Part d [3 points]: Describe three ways (natural or human-caused) that the concentration of CO would decrease.

In a quality control test for pavement construction, the engineer cut out a core of the asphalt mix. Laboratory tests were conducted on the core to determine the volumetric properties of the mix. The dry mass of the core is 1200 g, the saturated surface dry mass is 1202.5 g and the submerged mass is 691.9 g. The engineer separated the bitumen from aggregate and found that the dry mass of the aggregate was 1132.8g. The specific gravity of bitumen is 1.05 and the percentage of bitumen absorption is 0.5%. The aggregate bulk specific gravity is 2.76, determine the following:
a) bulk specific gravity of the compacted mix
b) Effective specific Gravity aggregates
c) max theoretical specific gravity of asphalt mix
d) percentage by mass of effective binder content
e) percentage of air voids in the total mix
f) pencetage of voids in the mineral aggregates
