An 8m steel tape was purchased and advertised as follows: Standard temperature : 24°C Standard Pull:8.5kgs Tape weight : 0.70 kgs Cross sectional area : 0.049 sq.cm. A survey team was required to lay out a rectangular field office measuring 9.5m x 4.75m in the following field conditions: Ambient field temperature : 40°C Actual pull : 13.2kg In addition, the tape was supported on both ends and at midspan during all measurements. The modulus of elasticity of the tape is 2.03x106 kg/sqcm and the coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116m/°c

The base plate minimum dimension is 500 mm. To design plate thickness, convert the circular perimeter of the pipe into an equivalent square with an area equal to the original circle. The loads are PDL = 700 kN and PLL =320 kN. Assume that the pipe is to rest on a very wide slab. Use A-36 steel and concrete fc’ = 25MPa and ASD.
