Chapter 6, Problem 26P
The arrival times of vehicles at the ticket gate of a sports stadium may be assumed to bePoisson with a mean of 30 mi/h. It takes an average of 1.5 min for the necessary tickets to be bought for occupants of each car.
(a) What is the expected length of queue at the ticket gate, not including the vehicle being served?
(b) What is the probability that there are no more than 5 cars at the gate, including the vehicle being served?
(c) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle?

Figure 1 shows the plan view of an Exhibition Hall with dimensions L1 x L2. The structure is to be constructed in a coastal region which will be exposed to mostly mild environmental conditions and should provide a 1.5-hour fire resistance. It is known that the underlying foundation soil contains sulphate and other organic compounds. The layout of the structure consists of portal frames which are spaced evenly along the L2 direction. The frames are to support a slab of thickness (t) that will cover the full area of the hall plan. The dead and live loads applied on the slab are G and Q (kPa), respectively.
