Stair construction and layout

Stair is a type of vertical transportation in a building which consist of a series of steps in a flight of stairs that enable the vertical movement of people and materials from one floor to another. A staircase consists of steps that comprises of riser & tread, handrail, baluster, stair stringers, newel post and waist slab. The construction of staircase with all the components is termed as stair construction. A staircase is an enclosure that contains the entire stairway. The materials used for the construction of stairs are bricks, reinforced cement concrete, stone, lumber, steel and a combination of these materials.

For this problem, I need help understanding the data I am supposed to use to graph the needed graphs for this question and how these graphs are supposed to look.
Concrete is the second most used material on earth next to water and it is approximately 80% aggregates. Aggregates are best used for concrete because it is cheap, abundant and inert. However, some places experience aggregate shortages because of isolation and dependence to natural aggregates. According to a research 2020 the 3d common cost of construction delays on road projects is "non-issuance of permit for extraction of aggregates". This extraction suspension is applied to curb the use of natural aggregates and provide time for rivers to replenish its aggregate supply. As a future civil engineer, what should our agencies do? What innovative ideas can we implement to help mitigate aggregate shortages?
Calculate total cost per cubic yard of concrete, given the following: Concrete materials and batching costs = $70/cy Trucking = $6.00/cy Paving equipment = $340.00/hr - Paving labor = $500.00/hr Paver production = 120 cy/hr Incidentals $4.00/cy Overhead and profit = 20% of direct costs 1.87.0 = O2.106.8 O 3.104.4 4.99.6

Quartering (or splitting) means reducing sample sizes into reasonable volumes. Would you expect every after each quartering (or splitting) process, the weight of the original aggregates would be reduced to half or almost half? Why or why not? Defend your reason.
A box measuring 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm is filled to the top with dry coarse aggregate of mass 187.5 kg. The water absorption and specific gravity of the aggregate are 0.5% and 2.5, respectively. The maximum quantity of water (in kg, round off to 2 decimal places) required to fill the box completely is bris
13. A contractor needs 375 m³ of aggregate base for a highway construction project. It will be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18.9 kN/m³. This material is available in a stockpile at a local material supply yard at a water content of 7.75%, but is sold by the metric ton and not by cubic meters (ton 3 1000kg). a. How many tons of aggregate should the contractor purchase? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. A few weeks later, an intense rainstorm increased the water content of the stockpile to 14%. If the contractor orders the same quantity for an identical section of the highway, how many cubic meters. of compacted aggregate base will he produce?
b) How much sand is used as a percentage of the total mass calcined raw materials?
In order to check the quality of the stockpile of aggregates, 1 sack of aggregates (around 40 kg) was taken from the stockpile and then returned to the laboratory. From a visual inspection of the stockpile, it consists mostly of sand particles mixed with a few gravel aggregates of not more than 1” in size (diameter). After the laboratory test, it was reflected in the report that the stockpile is dominated by gravels. This report contradicts the initial visual inspection that was conducted on the field. Do you think there were discrepancies along the way? If so, where do you think such discrepancy occurred? How do you resolve this contradicting events?
