Determine the size of a square footing at the ground level to transmit a load of 900 kN in sand
weighing 18 kN/m3
and having an angle of shearing resistance of 36° (Nγ = 46, Nq = 43). Factor of safety is 3.
What will be the modification in the result, if the footing may be placed at a depth of 1 m below ground
surface ? Assume, in this case, the water table may rise to the ground surface. γ′ = 9 kN/m3
.

A three-storey building is to be constructed on a sand beach. Ground water rises to a maximum
of 3 m below ground level. The beach sand has the following properties: γd = 17.5 kN/m3
, φ = 32° (Nc = 40,
Nq = 25, Nγ = 30). The maximum column load will be 700 kN. Determine the sizes of footing for depths of 1
m and 2 m using a factor of safety of 3. Settlement are not to be considered. Evaluate the two alternatives
from practical consideration (difficulties of construction and cost).

Situation: The town of Waterville has the following past population data projected beyond 1990.

Year                 1900    1910    1920    1930    1940    1950    1960    1970    1980    1990   

Population       10,240 12,150 18,430 26210 22,480 32.410 45,050 57,200 64,030 77,320

The average water consumption (including every possible sector) is 160 gal/cap-day in 2005. The town has a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with a treatment capacity of 20 MGD. Due to the rapid growth of the population, the town is planning to build a new WWTP assuming that the old WWTP will not be used any more after the new WWTP is operating.

Requirements: You are hired by the town as an engineer to do the planning. You need to (1) estimate the future populations using any reasonable method; (2) estimate the future wastewater generation rate (e.g., in the units of gal/cap-day); (3) estimate the initial year and design year of the new WWTP; (4) the average, maximum, and minimum daily and hourly flow rates for the initial and design year under both dry and wet weather conditions; (5) assume that the wastewater generated by the town is of medium strength, estimate the BOD5, COD, SS, VSS, TKN, Total P, and alkalinity (as CaCO3) in the raw wastewater to be treated by the new treatment plan.

Q11.a. Calculate the cost of a foundation with length x width x thickness dimensions of 1000 x 1200 x 600 mm. Concrete of ratios 1:4:8 will be made and mixed at site with a mixer machine. Assume the following: [8.5]
• The manpower service rate for casting the concrete OMR 13 / cubic meter.
• The formwork rate is OMR 5 OMR / square meter.
• The diesel consumption for the mixer machine is 3 liters / hour.
• The diesel machine needs to work for 4 hours to mix concrete for one foundation.
• The average price of diesel is OMR 0.277 / liter.
• The share of the rent of the mixer machine is OMR 6.500 for one foundation.
• Steel is to be excluded from this calculation.
• Prices for the raw materials are as follows:
o Cement: OMR 1.700 / bag
o Sand: OMR 15 / cubic meter
o Aggregate: OMR 18 / cubic meter
