provides various engineering solutions, including electrical, mechanical and construction. As part of the periodic performance assessment, the company has set a multidisciplinary engineering evaluation to its employees. You have been handed over the below tasks and asked to solve them, using the scientific methods you have learnt. Task (1) You have been provided with the below schematic design of a concrete beam that might be implemented at one of the sites. Answer the following: 15 KN 20 KN KN 40 KN 16 20 Figure 1: Concrete Beam 1. Find the equivalent forces of the disturbed loads. 2. Sketch the beam showing all the applied forces (reaction and equivalent forces) and their suitable locations. 3. Apply the moment equations in the equilibrium state to find the value of the reaction forces at points A and B. 28

Rose is a project manager at the civil engineering consulting firm of Sands, Gravel, Concrete, and Waters, Inc. She has been collecting data on a project in which concrete pillars were being constructed; however not all the data are available. She has been able to find out that the 8th pillar required 225 person-hours to construct and that a 68% learning curve applied. She is interested in calculating the time required to construct the 1st and 25th pillars. Compute the values for her.

A cement grinding mill "A" with a capacity of 50 tons per hour employs P12,000 per tonforged steel grinding balls with a wear rate of 100 grams per ton of cement processed.Another cement mill of the same capacity, "B," utilizes P50,000 per ton high chromesteel grinding balls with a wear rate of 20 grams per ton of cement processed.Determine the more cost-effective grinding mill, keeping all other factors constant.   do not use excel, use formula

What is the difference between earthquake magnitude and earthquake intensity? Also how is the magnitude and  intensity for earthquake determined?

Suppose you are assigned to supervise a construction site. The contractor bought cement and you are asked to advise them on how to store the cement. So as a professional who knows about the properties of cement and their storage cares, what will be your advice to the contractor?

The initial investment for constructing a median and guardrails for a prestressed concrete bridge is $1000000. Maintaining these facilities is expected to cost $2000 annually for the first five years of service and $10000 for the next five years of service. It is expected that these facilities will be rehabilitated at the end of the tenth year at a cost of $60000, after which the maintenance costs are expected to decrease to $6000 per year. What is equivalent uniform annual cost over a 15 -year period of service if the interest rate is 6% per year?

QUESTION 1 We have a three storey structure from a client and the requirement is to complete in 5 months for shell and core only. Attached are the architectural and structural drawings. As a construction manager/ site engineer (A) Elaborate on the steps needed to be taken to complete this task on time, explaining the roles of the different personnel needed for this task. (B) Determine the realistic programme, test requirement and procurement schedules needed for this task (C) What tools/personnel and materials do you think will be needed to set out the building in question and how will you ensure that there is no misalignment of the floors going up. (D) Provide a skeleton of a bill of quantity for the above drawings. No rates, quantity or amount is needed.
