(b) A uniform concrete slab of weight, W (kN) is to be attached to two cables which lower ends are on the same level as illustrated in Figure 2. Cables I and II is made from different materials and it has been labelled as Material I and Material II, respectively. Both cables are supported by pins at the ends as illustrated in Detail A. A part of each cable has been subjected to tensile test to determine the properties of each cable. Table 1 shows the important data obtained from the test result. i) Compute the ratio of the area of rod BE to the rod CF, so that the slab would remain on the same level. ii) Determine the required weight, W (kN) of the slab that can be applied if the vertical movement for each rod is limited to 5 mm. Using the answer in (i), assume the cross-sectional area for Cable I is 500 mm?. iii) Calculate the force in each cable by using the answer in (ii). Note: Show ALL the assumptions and diagrams.

2 CarpetPlus sells and installs floor covering for commercial buildings. Brad Sweeney. CarpetPlus account executive, was just awarded the contract for five jobs. Brad must now assign a CarpetPlus installation crew to each of the five jobs. Because the commission Brad will earn depends on the profit CarpetPlus makes, Brad would like to determine an assignment that will minimize total installation costs. Currently, five installation crews are available for assignment, Fach crew is identified by a color code, which aids in tracking ofjob progress on a large white board. The following table shows the costs (in hundreds of dollars) for each crew to complete each of the five jobs: Jeb 2 Red White Blue 38 45 37 37 47 32 40 38 34 Crew Green Bronn Use the Hungarian method to solve the problem
Building permit application and project management is a tedious task just like any other requirements in this program. How are you going to motivate yourself and your team (Say you are the manager/leader of a team of civil engineering students) through tough times so that your project operations will still perform according to the standards or requirement? How are you going to provide a superior project strategy with that given team of civil engineering students?
