Answer to Problem 1P

The horizontal reaction at A is Ax=0_.

The vertical reaction at A is Ay=15.63k_.

The vertical reaction at C is Cy=68.75k_.

The vertical reaction at E is Ey=15.63k_.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The structure is given in the Figure.

Apply the sign conventions for calculating reactions using the three equations of equilibrium as shown below.

  • For summation of forces along x-direction is equal to zero (Fx=0), consider the forces acting towards right side as positive (+) and the forces acting towards left side as negative ().
  • For summation of forces along y-direction is equal to zero (Fy=0), consider the upward force as positive (+) and the downward force as negative ().
  • For summation of moment about a point is equal to zero (Matapoint=0), consider the clockwise moment as negative and the counter clockwise moment as positive.

Calculation:

Find the degree of indeterminacy of the structure:

Degree of determinacy of the beam is equal to the number of unknown reactions minus the number of equilibrium equations.

The beam is supported by 4 support reactions and the number of equilibrium equations is 3.

Therefore, the degree of indeterminacy of the beam is i=1.

Select the bending moment MB at the interior support B as redundant.

Consider the supports A, C, and E as l, c, and r respectively.

Express the general three-moment equation as shown below:

MlLlIl+2Mc(LlIl+LrIr)+MrLrIr=[PlLl2klIl(1kl2)PrLr2krIr(1kr2)wlLl34IlwrLr34Ir6E(ΔlΔcLl+ΔrΔcLr)]        (1)

Here, Mc is the bending moment at support c, Ml,Mr are the bending moments at the adjacent supports to the left and to the right of c, E is the modulus of elasticity, Ll,Lr are the lengths of the spans to the left and to the right of c, Il,Ir are the moments of inertia of the spans to the left and to the right of c, Pl,Pr are the concentrated loads acting on the left and the right spans, kl or kr is the ratio of distance of Pl or Pr from the left or right support to the span length, wl,wr are the uniformly distributed loads to the left and right spans, Δc is the settlement of support c, Δl,Δr is the settlement of adjacent supports to the left and to the right of c,

Refer the given Figure.

The moment at A and E is MA=ME=0.

Apply three-moment equation at joint C,

Substitute 16 ft for Ll, 16 ft for Lr 2I for Il, I for Ir, 50 k for Pl, 50 k for Pr, 0.5 for kl, 0.5 for kr, 0 for wl, 0 for wr, and 0 for Δc,Δl,Δr in Equation (1).

2MC(162I+16I)=50(16)2(0.5)2I(10.52)50(16)2(0.5)I(10.52)48MCI=2,400I4,800I48MC=7,200MC=150k-ft

Average sludge production reported by members of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies is 0.7 tons of sludge TS per MG wastewater treated. Assume that the organic matter (VS) in the sludge contains 10% N and that the ratio of VS/TS in sludge is 0.85. A) How many mg/L of N are removed from the wastewater due to assimilation? B) If the raw wastewater contained 50 mg/L total N, what percent was removed via assimilation? C) Why is this a disappointing result in terms of nutrient recovery and reuse goals?
The two-part curve is from a BOD bottle test conducted over 50 days (i.e., ultimate UBOD). The nitrifying bacteria numbers grew to significance by Day-8.There is a lower cBOD curve and an upper nBOD curve. BOD₁ = UBOD (1− e−k₁t) A) What is the rate constants k for cBOD? B) What is the rate constants k for nBOD? C) Why aren't nitrifiers prevalent in the raw wastewater? Treatment ponds have long hydraulic residence times (HRTs), so nitrifiers are a significant part of the microbiome. D) Sketch a 50-d BOD curve similar to the above, but for a pond effluent sample.
