It is known that 5000 automobile trips are generated in a large residential area from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays for shopping purposes. Four major shopping centres have the following characteristics: Shopping Centre 1 2 3 4 Distance from residential area (km) 4 9 8 14 Commercial floor space (thousands of m²) 20 15 30 60 Using a Logit model (with logit parameter equal to 1), the following utility function is estimated for the residents' choice of shopping destination: U = -0.283 X1 + 0.172 X2 where X1 is distance from residential area (km) X2 is commercial floor space (thousands of m²) Determine the number of shopping trips to each of the four shopping centres. Are the signs of the parameter coefficients reasonable? Discuss.
TITLE: DESIGN OF SINGLY REINFORCED RECTANGULAR BEAMS USING STRENGTH DESIGN METHOD. PROBLEM: Design a rectangular concrete beam section for positive moment and negative moment for the loads (unfactored) and p values given. Show sketch of cross section, including bar size, arrangement and spacing. Use concrete weight = 236 kN/m³, fy = 414 MPa, f`c = 27.6 MPa, p = 0.5Pmax concrete cover = 40 mm, tie bar = 10 mm Ø.Deadload : w₁₁ = 90 kN/m Live Load: WLL = 40 kN/m and PLL = 3kN. Assume beam weight equal to 8 kN/m. PLL W = WDL + WLL +Selfweight of beam 3.5m 7 m 3.5m Use p =Pmax (SUPPORT ONLY) COMPUTATION: Required: 1. Factored Load 2. Required moment Mu, using NSCP 2015 load combination. a. at the left support b. at the mid-span c. at the right support 3. Design a singly reinforced rectangular beam: a. at the left support b. at the mid-span c. at the right support Use b=0.54d and 32-mm diameter bar. 4. Check adequacy: a. at the left support b. at the mid-span c. at the right support SKETCH
