Explanation of Solution

In construction of residential and commercial buildings wood is used. The rating of wall assemblies is done from one or both the sides. For this testing of wood sided walls and exterior wood frames are to be done for their exposure to fire from inside.

The rating for both interior and exterior wall for fire exposure is required if the distance between fire and wall is less than 5 ft.

For 1 hour and 2-hour wood-frame wall system code recognition is predicted for successful fire. If code allows the use then wood can be used for framing.

Draw the updated network. Calculate the new project completion date. Check if there are changes to the completion date and/or to the critical path. Mention the causes for such changes, if any. New network based on the new information received after 15 days (Correct calculations, professionally done). Mention if critical path changes or extended. Write causes for change in critical path or extension in the critical path.
The single degree of freedom system shown in Figure 3 is at its undeformed position. The SDOF system consists of a rigid beam that is massless. The rigid beam has a pinned (i.e., zero moment) connection to the wall (left end) and it supports a mass m on its right end. The rigid beam is supported by two springs. Both springs have the same stiffness k. The first spring is located at distance L/4 from the left support, where L is the length of the rigid beam. The second spring is located at distance L from the left support.
For the system shown in Figure 2, u(t) and y(t) denote the absolute displacements of Building A and Building B, respectively. The two buildings are connected using a linear viscous damper with damping coefficient c. Due to construction activity, the floor mass of Building B was estimated that vibrates with harmonic displacement that is described by the following function: y(t) = yocos(2πft). Figure 2: Single-degree-of-freedom system in Problem 2. Please compute the following related to Building A: (a) Derive the equation of motion of the mass m. (20 points) (b) Find the expression of the amplitude of the steady-state displacement of the mass m. (10 points
