You are a resident engineer for a building construction project. One of your tasks is to participate in a joint-inspection for concreting activity. During the post-concrete inspection, you noticed that there was a water seepage in the first floor concrete slab, as shown in Figure Q1. Using general steps for the decision making process, propose the best solution to solve the problem.

Alloys

An alloy is an admixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal. Since ancient times, man has been using alloys. Alloying helps to retain the properties of the parent matter, such as hardness, strength, toughness, ductility and is corrosion-resistant. Copper alloys such as brass have antimicrobial properties that help to fight against (Coronavirus disease 2019) COVID-19 and other hospital-acquired infections. Some common alloys are brass, bronze, solder steel, etc. Most alloys have a lower melting point than their constituents. This is due to the presence of a nonmetal as one of the constituents that behaves as an impurity and restricts the raise of melting point.

A contractor claims that the mean compressive strength for a concrete mix is 4,830 psi and that it has a standard deviation of 430 psi obtained from testing 22 specimens. If you break 20 cylinders and obtain a mean compressive strength of 4,450 psi and a standard deviation of 480 psi, would you believe the contractor’s claim? Why? (With a 95% confidence interval)

(i) A site is using a concrete where the unit content of water, cement, sand and coarse aggregate are 180 kg/m³, 360 kg/m³, 700 kg/m³ and 1210 kg/m³, respectively. For a portion of the work, the engineer permits volume batching and rectangular boxes measuring 40 cm by 50 cm have to be fabricated to measure coarse aggregate. Assume the following: (a) The mixer available will mix concrete with one bag of cement (of 50 kg) at one time. (b) Three boxes of coarse aggregate will be used in a batch. (c) When filled in a normal manner, the void content in the box is 40%. (d) Specific gravity of the coarse aggregate is 2.75. Find the height of the box.

A BOD analysis was begun on Monday. Fifteen ml of waste with a DO of zero was mixed with 270 mL of dilution water with a DO of 9 mg/L. The sample was then put in the incubator. Since the 5th day fell on a long weekend (Friday) and lab personnel do not work on Saturday, the final DO did not get measured until Monday, the eighth day. The final DO was measured at 2.8 mg/L. However, it was discovered that the incubator was mistakenly set at 32 ºC. Assume k is 0.15 day-1 at 20 ºC and θ= 1.05. Determine the 5-day 20 ºC BOD of the sample. Also, what is the ultimate CBOD at 32 ºC and 20 ºC; Will it vary?

A constant velocity grit chamber is used in a small coastal community as a form of pre- treatment to incoming wastewater flows. The town regularly experiences a number of visitors during school holiday periods. If the usual wastewater flow is 10 ML per day, and the usual holiday period flow is 18 ML per day, design an appropriately sized grit chamber arrangement if the target grit has a diameter of 0.16 mm with a specific gravity of 2.75. Show your solutions for the following (but not necessarily in this order): 1. Determine the settling velocity for the target particle 2. Assuming a horizontal flow velocity of 0.32 m/s determine an appropriate overflow rate for the grit chamber 3. Determine an appropriate chamber length and cross sectional area and draw figures 4. Comment on how you could accommodate for the seasonal fluctuations in flows.
