A 3000-word report is to be prepared in the style of a working manual which is related to a work- based situation demonstrating the application of an appropriate civil engineering management system for a project or operation. The first step is to agree a context with the course tutor. This needs to be a construction or civil engineering activity which can clearly demonstrate the need for a formal systematic approach to deliver safety, quality, budget and scope.

13. How many cycle of the excavator does it take to fill a truck?

9.PIT #1: What is your estimate of the cost per cubic yard to excavate and haul (overtrucked case)?

5-7.The partition of Problem 5-4 has still air on one side and a 15 mph wind on the other side.Compute the overall heat-transfer coefficient.

The work package for the spot footing includes the concrete for the footing,forms, the horizontal rebar in the footings, and the dowels needed to connect the footings to columns. The concrete is treated as a volumetric good,the forms for short footings (12 inches thick or less) are treated as a linear component, the form for tall footings (thicker than 12 inches) are treated as sheet goods and are measured by the square foot, and rebar is treated as a counted item. The quantity takeoff for a spot footing is shown in the following example. Determine the volume of concrete in cubic yards, the lineal feet of forms,and the rebar needed to complete 10 of the footings shown in Figure 5-1.Provide 3 inches of cover for the rebar in the footings and 2 inches of cover for the rebar in the columns. Include 10% waste in the calculated volume of concrete, and express the volume of concrete in quarter-yard increments.

3. A hydraulic backhoe excavator is excavating the basement for a large building. The heaped bucket capacity is 1.5 cu yd. The material is common earth with a bucket fill factor of 0.9.Job efficiency is equivalent to a 50-min hour. The machine's maximum depth of cut is 24 ft,and the average digging depth is 13 ft. The average swing angle is 90°. The cycle time for the excavator is 25 seconds. Some of the cut soil from the building project will be used for an-earth-fill dam that requires a compacted volume of 64,000 yd. The soil weighs 2,500 lb/LCY,3,100 lb/BCY, and 3,500 lb/CCY. Estimate the hourly production in loose measure and the working days of the excavator required to complete the earth-fill dam. (note. 1 day = 8 hours)

You are to design a 700' long sewer pipe that is to be placed in a trench. Prepare an Excel table showing the design elevations every 100 feet. Use stationing of 0+00 for the beginning, and 7+00 for the end. Place the pipe at a gravity drainage slope of 3% towards station 7+00. The invert elevation of the pipe at 0+00 is 6375.00'. The pipe has an outside diameter of 1' and a wall thickness of 1". Your design needs to include the following: a) List the elevations for the top of the pipe for the plus stations (0+00, 1+00, 2+00, 3+00, 4+00, 5+00, 6+00 and 7+00) *. b) Calculate the invert elevation for the pipe at station 7+00.

1) For the project area pictured on the next page, do the following: a) Determine, using the included scale, whether the site denoted by the star qualifies for LEED points under LT Credit: Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses. Assume that the properties are all mixed use, and the provided neighborhood data. b) Determine how many points may be earned by the project site denoted by the star ifthere is a bus stop for an east-west route in front of property V and a bus stop for anorth-south route in front of property P. The stop at V handles 75 passengers perweekday and 70 passengers per weekend day, and the stop at P handles 80 passengersper weekday and 150 passengers per weekend day.

Question 2 (10 points): Maintenance costs for a small precast concrete bridge with an expected 60-yearlife are estimated to be $1,000 each year for the first five years, followed by a $10,000 expenditure in the15th year and a $10,000 expenditure in year 30. If i = 10% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost over the entire 60-year period?

Scenario: The School has engaged your company, WLT Quantity Surveying Pty Ltd to undertake a project which require a Bill of Quantities as part of contract document. As part of the project team, you are assigned to work on the following trades: > Groundworks; and > Concrete, formwork and reinforcement inclusive in Substructure only. Given that this is your first time to attempt the works, your senior has listed out some instructions to help you out. A Bill of Quantities template will be provided to work on the trades. You are allowed to adjust and amend any information provided in the template to suit this project.
