6.20 A divided multilane highway in a recreational area has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain.

The highway has 10-ft lanes with a 6-ft right-side shoulder and a 3-ft left-side shoulder. The posted speed is 50 mi/h. Previously, there were 4 access points per mile, but recent development has increased the number of access points to 12 per mile. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.95 and the directional hourly volume was 2200 vehicles with 13% heavy vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 2600 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor. What is the level of service before and after the development

Answer:

A) Level D ( before development )

B) Level E ( After development )

Explanation:

A) Calculate the level of service before the development

First we calculate the base free flow speed ( BFFS )

= posted speed limit  + 5 mi/hr.

= 50 + 5 = 55mi/hr.

Next determine free flow speed ( FFS )

= BFFS - f_{lw} - f_{lc}  - f_{m}  - f_{A}

= 55 - 6.6 - 0.65 - 0 - 2.25 = 45 mi/hr.

The remaining part of the solution is attached below

The level of service = D

given that:

Vp = 1537.096 pc/hr/In

Density = 34.157 pc/mi/In

FFS = 45 mi/hr

B ) Calculate the level of service after the development

attached below is the detailed solution

The level of service = E

given that

Vp = 1816.568 pc/hr/In

Density = 40.368 pc/mi/In

FFS = 45 mi/hr

An air compressor of mass 120 kg is mounted on an elastic foundation. It has been observed that, when a harmonic force of amplit
kupik [55]

Answer:

equivalent stiffness is 136906.78 N/m

damping constant is 718.96 N.s/m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 120 kg

amplitude = 120 N

frequency = 320 r/min

displacement = 5 mm

to find out

equivalent stiffness and damping

solution

we will apply here frequency formula that is

frequency ω = ω(n) √(1-∈ ²)      ......................1

here  ω(n) is natural frequency i.e = √(k/m)

so from equation 1

320×2π/60 = √(k/120) × √(1-2∈²)

k × ( 1 - 2∈²) = 33.51² ×120

k × ( 1 - 2∈²) = 134752.99    .....................2

and here amplitude ( max ) of displacement is express as

displacement = force / k  ×  (  \frac{1}{2\varepsilon \sqrt{1-\varepsilon ^2}})

put here value

0.005 = 120/k   ×  (  \frac{1}{2\varepsilon \sqrt{1-\varepsilon ^2}})  

k ×∈ × √(1-2∈²) = 1200       ......................3

so by equation 3 and 2

\frac{k\varepsilon \sqrt{1-\varepsilon^2})}{k(1-2\varepsilon^2)} = \frac{12000}{134752.99}

\varepsilon^{2} - \varepsilon^{4}  = 7.929 * 10^{-3} - 0.01585 * \varepsilon^{2}

solve it and we get

∈ = 1.00396

and

∈ = 0.08869

here small value we will consider so

by equation 2 we get

k × ( 1 - 2(0.08869)²) = 134752.99

k  = 136906.78 N/m

so equivalent stiffness is 136906.78 N/m

and

damping is express as

damping = 2∈ √(mk)

put here all value

damping = 2(0.08869) √(120×136906.78)

so damping constant is 718.96 N.s/m

A saturated 1.5 ft3 clay sample has a natural water content of 25%, shrinkage limit (SL) of 12% and a specific gravity (GS) of 2
Svetllana [295]

79 f t^{3} is the volume of the sample when the water content is 10%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given Data:

V_{1}=100\ \mathrm{ft}^{3}

First has a natural water content of 25% = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25

Shrinkage limit, w_{1}=12 \%=\frac{12}{100}=0.12

G_{s}=2.70

We need to determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 10% (0.10). As we know,

V \propto[1+e]

\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{1+e_{2}}{1+e_{1}}  ------> eq 1

e_{1}=\frac{w_{1} \times G_{s}}{S_{r}}

The above equation is at S_{r}=1,

e_{1}=w_{1} \times G_{s}

Applying the given values, we get

e_{1}=0.25 \times 2.70=0.675

Shrinkage limit is lowest water content

e_{2}=w_{2} \times G_{s}

Applying the given values, we get

e_{2}=0.12 \times 2.70=0.324

Applying the found values in eq 1, we get

\frac{V_{2}}{100}=\frac{1+0.324}{1+0.675}=\frac{1.324}{1.675}=0.7904

V_{2}=0.7904 \times 100=79\ \mathrm{ft}^{3}
