1. Discuss the different burdens of proof for both criminal inquiries and civil proceedings.

The shear strength of a normally consolidated clay can be given by the equation f =  tan 30. A consolidated-undrained triaxial test was conducted on the clay. Following are the results of the test:
Chamber confining pressure = 100 kN/m2
Deviator stress at failure = 80 kN/m2
Determine
a) Consolidated Undrained friction angle (CU), (6 points)
b) Using formula, calculate shear and normal stresses on the failure plane inside the soil sample, (6 points)
c) Pore water pressure developed in the clay specimen at failure. (8 points)

A 12-in-diameter well completely penetrates a 130-ft-thick, unconfined aquifer with a coefficient of permeability of 0.00055 ft/sec. If the radius of influence of the well is 500 feet and the drawdown at an observation well 250 ft away is 5 ft, determine the steady state well discharge and the drawdown at the well.

Do a write up in a clear and understandable manner on Causes, Prevention And Repair of Cracks in building. Focus on concrete structure – slab, beam and columns.

If you have to construct an embankment structure and you wish to determine the volume of fill between two stations located 1 station apart describe in your own words how would you determine such volume in cubic yards? Discuss and show any formulas you may know.

Conduct a research of 3 pages on Road Safety and Media reporting in Lebanon by concentrating on the following aspects: its magnitude, its economic costs, its importance, its success story (if any solution is implemented) and the main outputs of such a project.

What is the purpose of the mass haul diagram? How is it used in the computation of earthworks for roadway alignments?

What is the truss analogy in dimensioning of RC beams in bending? Sketch the imaginary truss indicate compressed and tensioned elements of the truss.

Compute and tabulate full-station elevations for an unequal-tangent vertical curve to fit the requirements of grade g1 = +1.25%, g2 = +3.75%, VPI at station 62+00 and elevation 1053.95 ft, L1 = 500 ft and L2 = 600 ft.

After drilling generally casing is done. Assume in one well the casing failure has taken place due which the operator has faced a problem in the well. Based on understanding how the selection of different types of casing is done (4marks). Support your answer with a neat diagram (1mark).
