14.9 The concentration of E. coli bacteria in a swimming area is monitored after a storm:

t (hr)                     4           8         12        16    20 24

c (CFU/100 mL) 1600     1320   1000     890 650 560

The time is measured in hours following the end of the storm and the unit CFU is a .colony forming unit.. Use this data to estimate

(a) the concentration at the end of the storm (t = 0) and

(b) the time at which the concentration will reach 200 CFU/100 mL. Note that your choice of model should

be consistent with the fact that negative concentrations are impossible and that the bacteria concentration always decreases with time. Plot the original data and the regression “line” using Matlab. Submit plot.

What are some key things to consider when preparing to conduct a topographic survey?

With the understanding that a higher resolution of data is going to generally cost more money, what is one suggestion you have to reduce the amount of time required to perform your proposed survey?

How many data points are necessary to provide an acceptable topographic survey? How might this vary based on the phase of the project (e.g., preliminary planning, construction drawings, final as-built drawings)?

What is one possible use of a topographic survey?

This is the previous example the answer is there in cgegg:

A confined aquifer has been fully penetrated with a well of 200 mm diameter The thickness of the aquifer is 25 m. If you know that the well was pumped at a constant rate of 2000 m³/day and the steady state drawdown in the well is 8 m and the drawdown in a piezometer 100 m from the well is 1.4 m. Calculate the following:

1. Aquifer transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material and the radius of influence of the well.
2. If the aquifer is unconfined, Do the calculation again assuming that the saturated thickness is 25 m.

c. Assume the well efficiency is 85 %, calculate the values of T, K and R.

........Design the well in the previous example for the case of confined aquifer by finding the following:

1. Screen length and size.
2. Delivery pipe diameter.
3. Calculate the power needed for this well.
4. Draw schematic diagram for the well and define all parts.

Assume any missing data.

of Z tonnes of load which is having hook at the centre of crane. Draw shear force and B.M
diagram of the beam.
Case i) If the crane wheels are positioned at equal distances from centre of the beam.
Case ii) If one of the crane wheels is exactly at the centre.
Case iii) If one of the crane wheels comes exactly over a column.
Also find the max. bending stresses in the beam for the first case considering the depth (d)
as twice the width of the beam.

A client needs to fill and compact a trench that has the following dimensions 150 x 50 x 1.5 ft. The sub is going to use a dump truck that can carry 12 CY, and travels at an average speed of 40 mph. The borrow pit is located 45 miles from the construction site. The truck driver makes $50/hr and works 8 hours per day. Loading time for the truck is 30 minutes and unloading time is 5 minutes. The sub has to rent the truck at $500 per day + a driver @ $50/hour. The cost of soil $20 per BCY. The soil has a swell factor of 18% and a compaction factor of 12%. What will it cost to backfill this trench if the sheeps foot operator make the same as the driver and fuel cost $1,250.00?
