Chapter 5, Problem 5.42QP
A contractor is considering using three stockpiles for a Superpave mix design that requires evaluation of three different blend percentages. Determine the blended specific gravity for the three blends shown in Table P5.42.
TABLE P5.42
| Material | Gsb | Stockpile 1 | Stockpile 2 | Stockpile 3 |
| Crashed limestone | 2.702 | 45% | 55% | 50% |
| Blast furnace slag | 2.331 | 35% | 20% | 30% |
| Sand | 2.609 | 20% | 25% | 20% |
What is the bulk specific gravity of the blended aggregates?

1. Design a PVC sanitary sewer collection system for the Village of Waffle (Figure P-17-24 B, shown below) by
preparing a sewer design table similar to that shown in Example 19-2 and a profile drawing similar
to Figure 19-13b B. You only need to show the calculations for the pipes running along Bacon Road and
Eggs Road, starting at point F and ending at Point B in the figure below. Your design should comply with the
requirements specified in Chapter 30 of the 10 States Standards for Wastewater. Use the following
assumptions:

о
Average daily flow rate is the same as average daily water demand, 9.2 m³/hr
Peaking factor for peak dry weather flow is 6.2
Peak wet weather flow is equal to the peak dry weather flow plus an assumption for infiltration and inflow

2. Design a circular clarifier for a flow rate of 34,560 m³/d. Use a design overflow rate of 30 m³/d-m². Assume
the clarifier has a center feed and a side water depth of 4.3 m. Use a feedwell detention time of 20 min.
Provide the following information to support your design:
• Diameter of the clarifier
• Diameter and depth of the feedwell
. Check the flow velocity across the sludge zone

Write your solution legibly in separate sheets of clean bond paper. 2. Box your final answer in your solution. C. Situation A truss structure is an assembly of straight structural members that form triangular panels. The assembly of triangular panels makes the truss establish a rigid configuration. In a truss structure, connections are theoretically assumed to act as smooth pin; therefore, it does not resist any moment or bending. Due to this magnificent behavior, truss members only resist axial forces in the design phase that could either be compressive or tensile.
