Explanation of Solution

The future challenges in the field of transportation are as follows:

  1. Logistics and Supply-Chain Management
  2. Design of vehicle and Transportation Services
  3. Infrastructure in transportation Services
  4. Specialties within Infrastructure Engineering of Transportation

Logistics and Supply-Chain Management:

  • Logistics is the process of planning, executing and controlling the well organizedand preserving of goods ofconcerned information from origination to consumption as required by customer.
  • The concept of expansion of logistics is called supply chain management.
  • In this it coordinates the products, reduce the organization cost and flow of cash to maximize the consumption satisfaction.

Design of vehicle and Transportation Services

  • Design of vehicle and manufacture is an important industry in the United States and includes the application of mechanical, aerospace engineering skills and alsowell-trained mechanics and workers from other fields.
  • This type of service provides jobs like vehicle drivers, flight attendant and other professionals like lawyers, social scientists and ecologist can also work in transportation field with draft legislation.

Infrastructure in transportation Services

  • This includes the planning, design, construction, operations, and management of a transportation system.
  • Appropriate transportation infrastructure system consistent with society's economic development, resources, and goals to construct and manage the system in a safe and efficient manner.

Specialties within Infrastructure Engineering of Transportation

  • Transportation engineers are employed by the agency which are responsible for building and maintaining a transportation system, which includes federal, state, local government, railroads.
  • They can also work in the consulting field to carry the plan and engineering tasks for this type of organizations.

= A steel pile (H-section; HP 310 x 125; and so A, 15.9 x 10-3 m² ) is driven into a layer of sandstone. The length of the pile is 25 m. Following are the properties of the sandstone: unconfined compression strength = qu(lab) = 78 MN/m² and angle of friction = 36°. Using a factor of safety of 3, estimate the allowable point load that can be carried by the pile. Use [qu(d Qu(lab). qu(design) b)/5]. (Enter your answer to three significant figures.) Qp(all) kN
Си A concrete pile 20 m long having a cross section of 0.25 m x 0.25 m is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer. For the clay, given: Ysat = 18 kN/m³, = 0, and c₁ = 80 kN/m². Determine the allowable load that the pile can carry (FS-3). Use the A method to estimate the skin resistance. For L = 20 m, A = 0.173. (Enter your answer to three significant figures.) Qall kN
A concrete pile 65 ft long having a cross section of 15 in. × 15 in. is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer for which Ysat = can carry. (Let FS = 3.) Use the a method equation QsfpAL = ac₂pAL and the following table to estimate the skin friction and Vesic's method for point load estimation.
