A rural principal arterial is expected to carry an
ESAL of 0.188 × 10^6 during the first year of
operation with an expected annual growth of 6% over the 20-year
design life. If the subgrade has a
resilient modulus of 15,000 lb/in2, design a suitable pavement
consisting of a granular subbase with a
resilient modulus of 13,500 lb/in2, a granular base layer with a
resilient modulus of 25,000 lb/in2, and
an asphalt concrete surface with an elastic modulus of 400,000
lb/in2. Assume all mi values = 1 and
the percent of traffic on the design lane is 47%. Assume a
reliability level of 95%, the design
serviceability loss is 2.0, and standard deviation of 0.4.

An unvented kerosene heater is operated for 1 hour in an apartment building having a volume of 300 m3. The heater emits SO2 at a rate of 50 ug/s. The ambient air concentration and the indoor air concentration of SO2 are 80 ug/m3. If the rate of ventilation is70 liters/s and the apartment is assumed to be well-mixed, what is the indoor air concentration of SO2 at the end of 1 hour? Assume a first order decay rate using Table 7.14 in the textbook.

35343 | 60.6 | Plastic |
36128 | 61.2 | Plastic |
36914 | 63 | Plastic |
37306 | 66 | Plastic |

Answer the given statements as True or False. If the statement is false, correct it so it becomes a true statement.
1. The neutral axis can be found at a distance ‘y’ (where
y>0) from the centroidal axis of a
member.
2. The centre of curvature can be found at a radial distance
(rho) from the neutral axis of a
member in pure bending.
3. When developing generalized equations for stress
transformations, we must consider
stresses on only the horizontal and vertical faces.
4. Shear strain is defined as the angle between two line
segments that were originally parallel
to each other.
5. In biaxial bending, the principle of superposition can be
used to add bending components
about more than one principal axis.
6. When determining average shear stress along a horizontal
section, we are to assume a
uniform and linear shear stress distribution.
7. In beams, to express internal moments and shears, positive
sign convention on the face to
the right of the cut section with internal shear represented as a
downward force (V) and
internal moment (M) represented as a counter-clockwise moment.
8. In Mohr’s circle, the average stress of the element is at the center of the circle.
9. Shear stress components of adjacent planes are equal and opposite.
10. Buckling is a sudden large displacement parallel to the direction of loading.

A structure constructed near to the water body experiencing an anticipated load of 1.25 x106 N. The load coming on to the foundation do not includes the weight of pile cap. Founding subsoil contains a layer of clay 5.0 m deep from the ground surface followed by some loose soil. As a Geotechnical Engineer, design the most suitable friction pile group considering the following factors: Factor of safety against shear failure = 2.5 Unconfined compressive strength of clay = 0.060 N/ mm2 Radius of individual pile = 200 mm Weight of pile cap = 200000 N
