Answer to Problem 18.1P

1:24,000

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

USGS 7 1/2 - minute quadrangle map

USGS map divides the area into quadrangle map shown by area in the terms of latitudes and longitudes within 2 lines. 7.5 minute shows the area bounded by 7.5-degree latitude and 7.5-degree longitude. Scale of 1:24,000 provides enough details through the quadrangle map.

Most of the natural features and geographical information is shown in the scale of 1:24,000 and these maps are generally used by engineers, architects, city planners, etc. Other maps with larger scale are also available such as 1:50,000 and 1:1,00,000 and these maps are preferred for management activities and land use pattern identification.

Thumbi Irrigation Scheme in Mzimba district is under threat of flooding. In order to mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1. Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill. (1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke and the key will use the same material). (2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each? Make appropriate assumptions. DIKE CROSS SECTION OGL KEY (FOUNDATION) 2m 1m 2m 8m Figure 1: Cross section of Dyke and its foundation 1.5m from highest OGL 0.5m…
