- Develop a signal design and timing for the intersection shown in the figure below. In each case accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian movements. In general, use the following values for the problem: pedestrian walking speed = 1 [m/s], vehicle deceleration = 3 [m/s²], driver reaction time = 1.5 [s], length of vehicle = 6 [m], and level grade = 0.

- Sketch the effective stress profile for the silt layer to a depth of 5 meters for a uniform layer of silt having a depth to the water table of 4 m (choose several discrete points with depth and plot by hand). Use Bishop's definition of effective stress for the silt layer, assuming x =S.. Assume a value of G. = 2.65 and that the gravimetric water content of the silt below the water table is 20%. Use the SWRC for the silt from the figure below. Assume that the air pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure (i.e., zero).

The height of the parapet above the roof is 2 feet. The walls are to be constructed of 8-inch CMU and are to be fully grouted. The building is assigned to SDC D, and therefore, the walls have to be special RM shear walls according to TMS 402. There are 6 shear walls to resist the lateral seismic force along one principal axis of the building and 4 shear walls along the other axis. The corner walls are flanged walls meeting the requirements in Sec. 5.2.3 of TMS 402-22. The columns carry only gravity loads and no lateral seismic forces. The floor and roof diaphragms are relatively flexible in out-of-plane bending compared to the in-plane flexural stiffness of the walls, so that you can ignore the coupling moments and shear forces exerted by the diaphragms on the walls. However, the in-plane stiffness of the diagrams is high so that their planar deformation can be ignored.…arrow_forwardDevelop a signal design and timing for the intersection shown in the figure below.

Assume a bus line with N stops, where the distance between stops is S. Free flow speed of the bus is v, with acceleration and deceleration, a. P passengers per stop are boarding and alighting, and the time needed for a passenger to board or alight is T seconds. What is the average speed of a bus? b.
