Calculate the instantaneous deflections and the long term-term deflections after 15 years for the flat roofbeam shown below (simply supported). Use fy = 60,000 psi, fc′ = 4000 psi, and assume that the uniformdead load value shown does not include beam weight, and that none of the concentrated live loads aresustained. The concrete weight is 135 pcf. Investigate the deflection acceptability of the beam accordingto the ACI Code.
a) Determine the global stiffness matrix of the beam shown in Figure below. Assume supports at 1 and 3 are rollers and the support at 2 is a pinned support. Indicate the degrees-of freedom in all the stiffness matrices. EI is constant. Use the values of w and L1 as 50 kN/m and 1.75m, respectively. Note, L2=3L1.
b) Determine the rotations at all the nodes of the beam and reactions at the supports. Show all calculations.
c) Draw the BMD of the beam on the compression side showing the salient values. What are the maximum bending moments of the beam? Draw the deflected shape of the beam.

- 5. Two 400 g blocks are connected by a rigid rod. The Blocks can rotate freely at the ends of the rod, so the rod does not apply any moments to the blocks. The blocks are in contact with the wall and floor, and can slide without friction. The system is released from rest when X=24cm and Y=18cm. Ignore the mass of the rod. What are the initial accelerations of Block A and Block B just after being released? Hint: See Assignment 4, Problem 2 for help getting a relationship between the acceleration of Block A and the acceleration of Block B.

- The two-part curve is from a BOD bottle test conducted over 50 days (i.e., ultimate UBOD). The nitrifying bacteria numbers grew to significance by Day-8.There is a lower cBOD curve and an upper nBOD curve. BOD₁ = UBOD (1− e−k₁t) A) What is the rate constants k for cBOD? B) What is the rate constants k for nBOD? C) Why aren't nitrifiers prevalent in the raw wastewater? Treatment ponds have long hydraulic residence times (HRTs), so nitrifiers are a significant part of the microbiome. D) Sketch a 50-d BOD curve similar to the above, but for a pond effluent sample. The sum of the c and n BODs at 50 days is 30 mg/L.
