1 A quantity surveyor standing 50 away from the edge a river, wishes to estimate the quantity of materials for the reinforced concrete column of water tank. The tank is located right at the edge of the riverbank on the opposite side. The surveyor then moves by 30 m to the edge of the 20 meters wide river and observed that the angle of elevation of the top of column is twice as much as the angle of elevation when he is at its initial location. Assume that the banks of the river on both sides are of the same elevation. a. Determine the height of the column above the ground. b. The diameter of the column is 0.60 m and its embedment length from the natural ground line to the top of the footing is 2 meters. If the water tank has four columns, determine the required quantity of cement, sand and gravel using class A mixture

Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. A quantity surveyor standing 50 away from the edge a river, wishes to estimate the quantity of
materials for the reinforced concrete column of water tank. The tank is located right at the edge
of the riverbank on the opposite side. The surveyor then moves by 30 m to the edge of the 20
meters wide river and observed that the angle of elevation of the top of column is twice as much
as the angle of elevation when he is at its initial location. Assume that the banks of the river on
both sides are of the same elevation.
a. Determine the height of the column above the ground.
b.
The diameter of the column is 0.60 m and its embedment length from the natural ground line
to the top of the footing is 2 meters. If the water tank has four columns, determine the required
quantity of cement, sand and gravel using class A mixture
2. The trapezoidal lot as shown has two parallel sides of length 30 m and 50 m. The perpendicular
distance between the two parallel sides is 40 m. The entire area of the lot will be divided into two
parcels in the ratio of 2:3, such that the dividing line will be parallel to the parallel sides. The larger
portion of the area will be closer to the 30 m side.
a Determine the length of the dividing line.
b.
If the dividing line will be fenced, determine the required number of concrete column if it will
be spaced at 3.6 m on center.
c. Given the following data, determine the required number of concrete hollow blocks assuming
3% waste factor
Column size: 0.30 mx 0.30 m
Height of wall above the ground = 2.4 m
Embedment depth of the wall (from NGL to the top of wall-footing) = 0.4 m
d. Calculate the required quantity of cement, coarse sand, and fine sand necessary for the
construction of the masonry wall. Assume both faces of the wall above the NGL. will be
plastered with thickness of about 12 cm. Exclude the materials for columns and wall footing.
e.
If the tie bars of masonry wall will be spaced at 0.60 m both ways, determine the required
quantity of 10 mm diameter bars and G.A. 16 GI tie wires.
f.
If the embedment depth of column from the NGL to the top of footing is 0.6 m, determine the
required quantity of materials that can be used for formworks using 4' x 8' x 1/4" ordinary
plywood and 2" x 2" x 10' lumber as form framing.
