GROUP 1
Design a simply supported prestressed beam to support a parking space with a harped
tendon using the ACI 318 Building Code allowable stresses.
The span length will be decided by the pair.
The pair has to choose a suitable sustained service live load (from 300-1500plf) and
superimposed dead load (50-150plf) and has no concrete topping.
Assume the beam is made of normal-weight concrete with fc'= 5,000 psi and that the
concrete strength f'ci at transfer is 70 percent of the cylinder strength.
. Also, the pair must assume a justifiable time-dependent loss.
•
Assume that that fu = 260,000 psi for stress-relieved tendons, ft = 12sqrt(fc').
THE PAIR MUST BE ABLE TO DEFEND THE LENGTH OF BEAM, AND THE LOADINGS
APPLIED ON THE BEAM.
DEFEND THE USAGE OF YOUR SELECTED SECTION TYPE
A trapezoidal drainage ditch along a highway system has a side slope of 2:1 anda bottom width of 8.0 ft. The ditch is to be used to discharge a flow of 500 ft3/sec.If the ditch slope (longitudinal) is 1.0% and the Manning coefficient is 0.02,determine the minimum depth required for the ditch. Is the flow supercritical orsubcritical? Justify your answer.
Determine the global stiffness matrix of the beam shown in Fig. 3. Assume supports at 1 and 3 are rollers and the support at 2 is a pinned support. Indicate the degrees of freedom in all the stiffness matrices. EI is constant, w=60kN/m, L1=1.25m and L2=3.45m

In a water flood operation in reservoir A, water is being distributed to severalinjection wells from a common injection system; that is, water is supplied to all thewells at approximately the same well head pressure. Routine measurement of theindividual well injection rates by the team of field operators showed that one well wasreceiving approximately 45% more than its neighbours. The sum of the kh productsfor all of the injection wells were approximately the same depth.
