(b)

To determine

The definition of subdivision survey.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Subdivision survey is a method in which a larger land which is already surveyed is divided into smaller segments. The land can be divided in one or two segments only. This type of survey is useful when a new city or town is planned.

A closed traverse including all the corners is considered and furthermeasurements are carried out.

(c)

To determine

The definition of practical location.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Practical location is an equity which allows the parties to fix the location of their boundary that is different from the boundary mentioned by the surveyor.

The general conditions for a practical location are:

  1. The record boundary should be unknown.
  2. The boundary should be fixed by walls, building lines, fences or monuments.
  3. The parties in interest should assure that the boundary so located is accepted and recognized.

(d)

To determine

The definition of adverse possession.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Adverse possession is a legal process to gain ownership of the property by occupying the land or a part of the land based on thehistory of possession or the use of land without the permission of the owner.

A part of theneighbor’s land, street or footpath can be claimed if it has been used continuously for many years.

Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams and find the immediate deflection for a simply supported beam of length 20 ft. with the same live load at ½ span and cross-section as the previous problem. Assume a reasonable Modulus of Elasticity and concrete self-weight. Hint: You may look online for typical concrete self-weights and compressive strengths. You may also use the ACI 318 Code equation for the Modulus of Elasticity shown below, and the supplied Design Aids.
Problem 4. A major transmission pathway of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) is through droplets and aerosols produced by violent respiratory events such as sneezes and coughs (Fig. 1). For the purpose of providing public health guidelines, we would like to estimate the amount of time it takes for these droplets to settle from air to the ground. The relevant parameters are the settling time (ts), the initial height of the droplets (H), gravitational acceleration (g), density of the droplets (pa), radius of the droplets (R), as well as dynamic viscosity of the ambient air (Pair). Use dimensional analysis and the Buckingham theorem to answer the following questions: 1. Find the independent dimensionless parameters using the table method. Then, express the settling time as a function of the other relevant parameters. Your solution should match the physical intuition that the settling time scales linearly with the initial height. 2. How would the settling change if the…
Question 4 An engineer is assigned to design a 25-stories office building which has a building height of 75 m. Reinforced concrete shear wall system as shown in Figure Q1(a) is adopted to resist the lateral loads. The shear wall is of thickness t = 350 mm and length L = 8.5 m. Use the following data: Young's modulus of concrete E = 28 kN/mm² and the lateral load intensity w = 1.20 kN/m². Assuming the frontal width of the building façade is 15 m is facing the wind force which in turn transmitting the wind force to the shear wall system, estimate the total value of sway A at the roof level. Question 5 For the Shear Wall in Question 4, if the total ultimate gravity load of the building acted on shear wall is 6000 KN, using a partial factor of 1.2 for the wind load, calculate the stress on the extreme right corner of the shear wall at first storey level.
