(a)

To determine

The surveyor’s authority if the line established is agreeable to both clients.

It is the surveyor’s responsibility to resolve any dispute that exists between the parties involved. Disputes between two neighborsregarding their boundary line should be at first tried to be solved by l cooperation if parties are not ready to set any compromise then the surveyor should act asthe witness ofthe legal proceedings.

The surveyor’s authority or responsibility if the line established is agreeable to both clients is to go for the written agreement of acompromise between the parties involved.

(b)

To determine

The surveyor’s authority if the line established is not accepted by one or both clients.

It is the surveyor’s responsibility to resolve any dispute that exists between the parties involved. Disputes between two neighbors regarding their boundary line should be at first tried to be solved by cooperation if parties are not ready to set any compromise then the surveyor should act as witness of the legal proceedings.

The surveyor’s authority if the line established is not accepted by one or both clients then the disputes can’t be solved by mutual compromise. Here boundaries must be established by legal proceedings of the court where surveyor will be an expert witness.

*13-12. The control linkage for a machine consists of two L2 steel rods BE and FG, each with a diameter of 1 in. If a device at G causes the end G to freeze up and become pin connected, determine the maximum horizontal force P that could be applied to the handle without causing either of the two rods to buckle. The members are pin connected at A, B, D, E, and F. P 12 in. C G F B 2 in. E 4 in. 4 in. A D + -15 in.- + -20 in.-
13-31. The steel bar AB has a rectangular cross section. If it is pin connected at its ends, determine the maximum allowable intensity w of the distributed load that can be applied to BC without causing bar AB to buckle. Use a factor of safety with respect to buckling of 1.5. Est = 200 GPa, σy 360 MPa. = B W 5 m 3 m -20 mm 30 mm x x A 20 mm y C
Problem 1: A man-made 30 ft tall, 1.5:1 slope is to be build as shown in the figure. The soil is homogeneous with shear strength parameters c = 400 psf and φ = 290 . The moist unit weight of the soil is 119 pcf above the groundwater table and the saturated unit weight is 123 pcf below. Using the ordinary method of slices, compute the Factor of Safety (FS) along the trial failure surface shown. (Hint: Please note the unit weight is changing within the same slice.) Note 1: Use the same number of slices and dimensions as provided. Document ALL the calculations of weight (W) for each slice. Note 2: Document your solutions by following the same approach illustrated in the class, including a summary table showing all the variables and calculations involved in assessing FS.
