QUESTION 2: SPATIAL PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT Discuss the logic of the four types of Spatial Development Frameworks provided for in the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act and indicate the scale and purpose of each of these plans.

Q.3) USE ONLY GRAPHICAL METHOD: A consolidated-drained triaxial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay with a chamber pressure, σ3 = 172 kN/m2 . The deviator stress at failure, (Δσd)f = 227 kN/m2 . Determine (12 points): a. The angle of friction, φ' b. The angle θ that the failure plane makes with the major principal plane c. The normal stress, σf', and the shear stress, τf, on the failure plane

The bottom reinforcement in a 200mm × 500mm concrete beam is found to have corroded during its service life. Scans indicate that the effective diameter of the steel has reduced from 16?? ?? to 15?? ??. Determine the % reduction in the tensile capacity of the beam. The yield strength of the steel reinforcement is 500??Pa.

Please Answer Question Above

Please kindly answer the following question. It will be really kind if you answer all the question. Thank you.

1. Explain the importance of coefficient of curvature as you determine from the particle-size distribution curve.

2. A test group G1 compacts the soil in the compaction mould in 3 layers, giving 25 blows of rammer to each layer. Another test group G2 of your laboratory session uses 5 layers, giving 25 blows of rammer to each layer. How will the compaction test parameters (maximum dry unit weight and optimum water content) of the two groups vary?

3. Classify the soil according to USCS based on the following information:

Passing 75 µm = 10% ,Passing 4.75 mm = 70%, Uniformity coefficient = 8, Coefficient of curvature = 2.8 , Plasticity index = 4

4. Is it possible to get the specific gravity value using 3 weight measurements? Justify your answer.

5. Derive the analytical expression for the specific gravity of soil based on its basic definition.

6. Explain the importance of ZAV curve, and plot it for the soil as you see in your suburb.

7. In a liquid limit test, the crank of the Casagrande liquid limit device, as you see in the video demonstration of the test available at the BB unit site, is turned at the rate of 2 r/s so that the cup is lifted and dropped until the two parts of the soil come into contact along the bottom of the groove for a distance of 10 mm. A test group G1 followed this standard practice, but another test group G2 used 1 r/s. How do the liquid limit values vary? Explain briefly.

A negative 5% grade meets a positive 3% grade at vertex elevation 146.24m directly under an overpass bridge whose underside is at elevation 152.74 and carries another road across the grades at right angles.What is the longest parabolic curve that can be used to connect the two grades and at the same time provide at least 5 meter clearance under the bridge at its center line? If the underside of the bridge is level and is 12 meter wide, Find the actual clearance at the left and right of the bridge. Draw the diagram.

You have prepared the laboratory test report for all the tests as planned for this unit, and so you have now enough experience of conducting the tests. In future, you may establish your own geotechnical consultancy company. Write the proper order of tests as you may need to prepare for the clients. Also, provide the cost of each test as you would like to charge for these tests, including GST.

Briefly explain what are the project data and basic estimating data required in order for you to come up with your cost estimate.

A vertical curve is designed for 55 mi/h and has an initial grade of +2.5% and a final grade of −1.0%. The PVT is at station 114 + 50. It is known that a point on the curve at station 112 + 35 is at elevation 245 ft. What is the stationing and elevation of the PVC? What is the stationing and elevation of the high point on the curve?
