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?

BRIDGE DESIGN PROBLEM: USE AISC OR NSCP 2015 FOR SOLVING THE GIVEN PROBLEM.
A Highway contractor has four locations A, B, C, and D on a road contract which crushed stone is to be delivered. The stone, which is all of the same quality is to be supplied from three quarries 1, 2, and 3. The table below shows the relative transportation cost per cubic meter of transporting stone from each quarry to each site. However, the contractor discovered a technical problem in the third quarry, which results in a temporary shutdown of the facility. Based on this new condition, the contractor must deliver the crushed stone from the first and the second quarries only. Any shortage in the required crushed stone has to be covered from an external source. a) What is the optimal allocation of the crushed stone from each quarry to each location under the new circumstances? b) What is the transportation cost corresponding to the solution obtained in part a? c) Which of the four sites are affected by the shortage that results from the shutdown of the third quarry?

The yearly transition probabilities of various condition states of deck component of bridges on urban Interstate highways in a U.S. state are given in Table 1. In 2018, there are 1771, 2751, 1771, and 578 bridges in the Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor condition states, respectively. Find the number of bridges that are expected to be in the Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor conditions in 2022. Assume that no major repairs were done during the period, so the original transition matrix stays unchanged
13.9. From past records of highway construction and maintenance costs, a state highway de- partment determines the following cost relationships for two-lane bituminous high- ways within the state: c(x) = 0.1.x20 Cm(x) = 3.0-¹ X where the equations hold for (0.5 ≤ x ≤ 10.0) and where x= pavement thickness (inches); c(x)= annualized construction cost (millions of dollars per mile per year); and C(x)= annual maintenance cost (millions of dollars per mile per year). (a) In words, describe the basic tradeoff decision that the highway department must make. (b) Determine the optimal pavement thickness, justifying the type of point found. (c) If pavement thickness can be specified only in whole inches, what is the best pave- ment thickness, considering normal variance in pavement thickness caused by field construction conditions? How sensitive is the optimal cost to small changes in thickness?
