Answer to Problem 49P

The quantity of available water to unit 4 in gallonsmin, ft3s, m3s, lbms, and kgs are 54.7gallonsmin_, 0.122ft3s,0.00345m3s,7.6lbms,and3.45kgs respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Consider that the density of the water is generally known as 62.4lbmft3.

density=62.4lbmft3

Convert the unit from lbmft3 to lbmgallon.

density=62.4lbmft3(1ft37.48052gallons)[1ft3=7.48052gallons]=8.34lbmgallon

Consider that the unit-1 water consumption rate.

Unit-1 consumption rate=18lbms

Convert the unit from lbms to gallonsmin.

Unit-1 consumption rate=18lbms(60s1min)(1gallons8.34lbm)     [1min=60s,and1gallons=8.34lbm]=129.5gallonsmin

Consider that the unit-2 water consumption rate.

Unit-2 consumption rate=18lbms

Convert the unit from lbms to gallonsmin.

Unit-2 consumption rate=14lbms(60s1min)(1gallons8.34lbm)         [1min=60s,and1gallons=8.34lbm]=100.7gallonsmin

Consider that the unit-3 water consumption rate.

Unit-3 consumption rate=18lbms

Convert the unit from lbms to gallonsmin.

Unit-3 consumption rate=16lbms(60s1min)(1gallons8.34lbm)        [1min=60s,and1gallons=8.34lbm]=115.1gallonsmin

The amount of water available to unit-4 is,

The amount of water available to unit-4={wateravailablerateunit-1 consumption rateunit-2 consumption rateunit-3 consumption rate}

Substitute 400gallonsmin for water available rate, 129.5gallonsmin for unit-1 consumption rate, 100.7gallonsmin for unit-2 consumption rate, and 115.1gallonsmin for unit-3 consumption rate.

The amount of water available to unit-4={[400gallonsmin129.5gallonsmin100.7gallonsmin115.1gallonsmin]}

The amount of water available to unit-4=54.7gallonsmin (1)

Convert the unit of equation (1) from gallonsmin to ft3s.

density=54.7gallonsmin(1ft37.48052gallons)(1min60s)   [1ft3=7.48052gallons,and1min=60s]=0.122ft3s

Convert the unit from ft3s to m3s.

density=0.122ft3s(0.3048m1ft)3[1ft=0.3048m]=0.00345m3s

Convert the unit of equation (1) from gallonsmin to lbms.

density=54.7gallonsmin(1lbms7.19gallonsmin)[1lbms=7.19gallonsmin]=7.6lbms

Convert the unit from lbms to kgs.

density=7.6×0.453592kgs[1lbm=0.453592kg]=3.45kgs

Conclusion:

Thus, the quantity of available water to unit 4 in gallonsmin, ft3s, m3s, lbms, and kgs are 54.7gallonsmin_, 0.122ft3s,0.00345m3s,7.6lbms,and3.45kgs respectively.

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.
