The aim is to allow you to work as part of a team, both individually and collectively, to carry out the design of a civil engineering structure. The types of structures could include bridges, retaining structures and tunnelling set within the context of a larger project. Design work will include calculations and drawings in sufficient detail to allow a tend...
Flat Slab DesignA.Fig. Q-1 shows a flat slab supported on 450 mm by 450 mm columns arranged on a 6 m square grid. It is 200 mm thick and is provided with a drop panel, measuring 1.55 m by 1.55 m on plan, and 150 mm in depth. The slab is to carry a design ultimate load of 20 kN/m2 and is reinforced with H20 bars at a spacing of 150 mm at the top in each direction within a 1.6 m wide strip centered with the column. Given that: fck = ...
Range of options for managing flood riskAll around the world, choices have to be made on a number of levels if future flood risk is to be well managed and responsible flood managers are to work within the economic, political and institutional constraints of the day. Within those constraints, Governments must decide on the risk of flooding they are prepared to accept. In effect they can choose from a range of options: (a) Maintain current fl...
You are the engineer assigned to the design of this subdivision. Assuming your audience is the HCC engineers and planners, write a design report focusing on two main parts: 1. How you propose to approach the stormwater management of this subdivision using the ARC Low Impact Design Approach (TP 124, Chapters 3 & 4). This will be an overview of the proposed approach, no calculation or detailed design required. Sub-tasks: &mi...

Many criteria had to be met to build the visitor centerMany criteria had to be met at Attenborough Nature Reserve in order to build such a structure as the existing Visitor Centre. The building has been constructed on a flood plain, in a conservation area, on a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and within a nature reserve on green belt land. The principal funding for the project was initiated with a grant from the East Midlands Development...
Horizontal AlignmentThis work is to be carried out individually. Each person will work with different data. Your calculations and answers will therefore be different from everyone else. Where the question shows a variable name, please take your value from the table below. Start your answer to each question by stating your individual data, so that these can be checked. Answers using the wrong data will not be marked, and will score zero....
