PROBLEM 11.3: A reinforced concrete slab consists of two equal spans, each with a clear span of 4.5m. The service live load is 4.8 kPa. Assume f = 27.6 MPa and fy 415MPa for all bars. Unit weight of concrete = is Y = 23.5 kN/m³. The slab is not exposed to earth or weather. Design the slab following provisions of NSCP 2015. Use 12mm for all bars.

A twenty-story hospital building with a 400 ft x 200 ft footprint is to be built on a site underlain by fill over glacial sands. The building will have a 25-ft deep basement and will probably be supported on either a mat foundation located 5 ft below the bottom of the basement, or a deep foundation extending about 100 ft below the bottom of the basement. The groundwater table is about 30 ft below the ground surface and bedrock is about 120 ft below the ground surface. There are no accessibility problems at this site. (a) How many exploratory borings will be required as per NYC Code, and to what depths should they be drilled? (b) How would you obtain groundwater data? Explain your answer.
A 7000 meters long and 8 meters wide road is to be constructed in a remote region. Cut and fill are necessary where there is a poor subgrade soil. Four bulldozers excavated the poor subgrade soils. The dimensions of the excavated trench were 0.8 m deep by 10 meter wide and 3.5 kilometers long. The road will have 100 mm aggregate base and 50 mm of asphalt thickness. A bulldozer displaced 115 m \day, at a rate of 100 cedis per day. A laterite soil will be used in the fill operation. The fill operation will need a grader, a vibratory roller and a water truck for 20 days each at a cost of 130 cedis, 138 cedis and 68 cedis respectively. Daily labor rates for this excavation operation is a foreman, 30 cedis, five laborers, 15 cedis each. Truck driver, 21 Cedis and grade checker, 26 Cedis. Daily labor rates for the fill operations are the same as the excavation rates. One forman, ten laborers and a truck driver will be employed for the fill operations. Grading and asphalt laying will require:…
