- Studies have shown that the traffic flow on a two-lane road adjacent to a school can be described by the Greenshields model. A length of 0.5 mi adjacent to a school is described as a school zone (see the figure) and operates for a period of 30 min just before the start of school and just after the close of school. The posted speed limit for the school zone during its operation is 15 mi/h. Data collected at the site when the school zone is not in operation show that the jam density and mean free speed for each lane are 136 veh/mi and 63 mi/h. If the demand flow on the highway at the times of operation of the school zone is 90% of the capacity of the highway, determine the following. 0.5 mile School Zone (a) the velocity of the shock wave created by the operation of the school zone (Enter the velocity of the backward forming shock wave in mi/h. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) mi/h (b) the number of vehicles affected by the school zone during this 30-minute operation…arrow_forwardI will rate, thanks!arrow_forwardneed help.arrow_forward

Beginning at room temperature (T = 20oC), the temperature isdecreased until the concrete develops internal tensile stress that may results in crack (as shown inthe figure on the right below). This is due to the thermal shrinkage of the concrete and strongadhesion between the concrete and the walls of the container. D = 100 mmDetermine the temperature at which the concrete develops a tensile crack.Hint: Assume that the concrete remains linearly elastic until failure.Information about concrete:E = 30 GPa (Young’s Modulus)ν = 0.2 (Poisson’s Ratio)α = 12 ·10-6mm/mm/ oC (Coefficient of thermal expansion)(σt)max = 3 MPa (tensile strength)arrow_forward

The mean arrival rate is 4.2 veh/min and the processing rate is 5 veh/min. Determine the average length of queue, the average time spent in the system, and the average waiting time in the queue. 5.28 Consider the parking lot and conditions described in Problem 5.27. If the rate at which vehicles are processed became exponentially distributed (instead of deterministic) with a mean processing rate of 5 veh/min, what would be the average length of queue, the average time spent in the system, and the average waiting time in the queue?arrow_forwardDetermine the heel and toe stresses and the factor of safeties for sliding and overturning for the gravity dam section shown in the figure below for the following loading conditions: - Horizontal earthquake (Kh) = 0.1 - Normal uplift pressure with gallery drain working - Silt deposit up to 30 m height - No wave pressure and no ice pressure -Unit weight of concrete = 2.4 Ton/m³ and unit weight of silty water = 1.4 Ton/m³ - Submerged weight of silt = 0.9 Ton/m³ - Coefficient of friction = 0.65 and angle of repose = 25° Solve this question with the presence of gallery and without gallery., discuss the issue in both cases.... 144 m E 4m W 8m 6m 8m7m 120marrow_forward
