Structural InvestigationThe Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act 2004 interprets “Structural elements,for a building means an internal or external load-bearing component of the building or part ofthe building that is essential to the stability of the building but exclude any door or window.”Loading-bearing components such as wall, column or beam, etc, are subjected to externalforces.
(a) Interpret the diagnosis of a structural defect and discuss FOUR (4) external forces ona structure element that may cause structural cracks.(b) Discuss the effects of alkali-silica reaction on concrete structures and formulateFOUR (4) preventive measures.(c) Discuss the differences between chloride attack and sulphate attack on concretestructures(d) Formulate preventive measures to prevent or reduce chloride and sulphate attack onconcrete structures

Obtain a formula for the maximum deflection due to this loading using Mohr's method. If the cantilever is 250 mm by 150mm steel I beam, 3 m long having a second moment of area I as 8500 cm4, determine W and W'to give a maximum deflection of 6 mm when the maximum stress due to bending is 90 Mpa.

Use the method of virtual work and show all working.arrow_forwardYou are an engineer designing an aeration tank for a wastewater treatment plant receiving municipal waste. The activated sludge system (aeration tank and secondary clarifier) you design needs to remove 85% of the incoming BODs from the primary effluent, giving a final concentration of 30.0 mg BOD5/L exiting the system. Your design will maintain a concentration of 2500 mg VSS/L and F/M ratio of 0.5 g BOD/g VSS d in the aeration tank. In an effort to keep the waste activated sludge low in water, only about 0.1% of the primary effluent flow (Q) exits the WAS line. The secondary effluent has a flow rate of 9990 m³/d. What volume (in m³) will the aeration tank need to be? Write out all equations and state any assumptions as needed. Primary effluent: Aeration tank V, X, S Secondary clarifier Secondary effluent: Q.
