Recommend the most suited device to (i) collect a seabed surface sample, (ii) collect a sediment core, and (iii) conduct in-situ geotechnical testing of the seabed for the following conditions. Regarding (iii), comment on expected penetration depths. Sandy nearshore environments with significant currents and waves.
Estuary with mostly muddy to silty sediments, significant tidal currents, negligible wave action.
Deep ocean environments with water depth > 500 m.
There are no prior information available about the site.
Draw a conceptual sketch of a CPT including sensors and deployment mechanism. Describe step by step how to calculate undrained shear strength from CPT testing. Discuss pros and cons of CPT versus FFP testing.

please create a slides covering the firts 2 bullet point of the assignment:
Identify the locations of mast arms for traffic signals at the intersections in your project scope.
If there is no mast arm, propose a mast arm option for an existing traffic signal structure.
i have uploaded our ppt project ( Hanna avenue) please use it and add the slides to it or use same template.
I have also uploaded a sample slides from another project from previous semester.
consider incorporating similar elements:
1. **Visual Representations**: Include diagrams or photos that give a clear view of the current intersection layout and where the mast arms would be placed.
2. **Data Tables**: Present traffic data and any calculations that support your proposed locations for the mast arms.
3. **Design Details**: Provide specifications for the mast arm designs, referencing FDOT standards and guidelines.

Hillsborough County School Board would like to establish a new traffic safety initiative to improve teen
driver safety in the county. You are assigned to analyze teen traffic crash data (2015‐2019) and present your findings with maps. Your presentation (ppt) should include as a minimum the following components:
Explain your data and process to develop maps.
Map(s) to show the frequency of teen crashes by high school boundaries (district) in Hillsborough County
Map(s) to show the annual change in teen crashes at the school district level between 2015 and 2019 in Hillsborough County
Map(s) to show the proportion of the low-income population (census tract level) by high school boundaries and discuss the relationship between income and the frequency of teen crashes
Select one school and develop maps to show teen crashes around the school (Draw a boundary of the selected school and buffer). Investigate crash frequencies based on the distance from the school. Distance as measured by a straight line. (Less than a quarter of a mile, half a mile, a mile…)
Discuss your findings
Final submission will be a ppt (No more than 20 slides including title page)
Add speaker notes to each slide (what you’re going to say to present)

Design-Bid-Build is the typical construction contract process for most of Transportation Projects. It required complete Design set, time to bid the project (3-6 months), then start of construction.
Can you discuss other construction contract options that we are using in San Diego (Design-built, etc.)?

Description/Overview of the fire covered in your assigned book – include answer to item 2 above.
Most important factors influencing the fire – include answer to item 3 above.
Impacts of the Fire – include answer to item 4 above.
Relationship to builders’ place and time – include answer to item 5 above.
Lessons learned – include answer to item 6 above.

Back matter
Reference list with complete bibliographic records for any sources including the book you read.
Your review of the book (item 7), and any other relevant information you wish to include
Your report should answer the following questions:
WHAT BOOK did you read (give a full bibliographic citation, attach after report as an appendix)?
WHAT HAPPENED in this book? WHAT was built, WHERE, WHEN? Give a short summary of the structure(s)/city part/city and its intended functioning. Also, as part of this answer, explain how the WHAT, WHERE, WHEN of this fire relate to the topics discussed in terms of the different parties of the construction industry (e.g., builders, inspectors, engineers, owners, suppliers) who contributed to the severity of this fire.
WHAT were the most important factors that led to the fire and loss of lives as described in your assigned book? Consider human and social aspects of the decisions made, existing laws/regulations/requirements in place at the time of the fire, business practices, ethics. Additionally, compare and contrast how the factors you discuss in this answer relate to the factors that contributed to the recent fire in Maui, Hawaii in August of 2023.
WHAT were the impacts of the fire described in your assigned book? How did it impact the lives of people at the location where the fire happened? How did it impact the structure of the building, the city/State where it occurred? Similarly, compare and contrast how the impacts you discuss in this answer relate to the impacts that contributed to the recent fire in Maui, Hawaii in August of 2023.
HOW did the built environment influence survival in positive and negative ways? HOW innovative was the design of this particular structure(s), in terms of its methods and/or materials of construction, in terms of its environmental social impacts, and in terms of its use? Did it function in the way in which it was intended?
WHAT lessons did you learn from this book? How do they relate to existing buildings and building codes? How are these lessons used to design, build, and operate current buildings? Develop your answer using the ASCE Code of Ethics (available at https://www.asce.org/career-growth/ethics/code-of-ethicLinks to an external site.) and explain which areas of the code of ethics were violated by those who contributed to the fire and its aftermath.
Did YOU like this book? Would you recommend it to others? Produce a review of it as an object of entertainment, perhaps using a review of a book in a magazine or newspaper as an example.
I expect that you will submit this information in a 5-6 page written report (not counting any front or back matter, see details below). You should use Times New Roman, 12-point font, space-and-a-half, 1-inch margins all around. Number your pages. Spelling, grammar, and presentation will be graded. Also, use the following checklist to make sure your report meet what is expected from this assignment: Suggested outline

Design wave: A coastal infrastructure project includes a pier which has a docking site at the end. The operation needs to be out of the breaking zone and where sediments move. The pier deck will host high tech equipment which cannot be flooded by sea water. Some of the characteristics of the sea climate is shown in the following table:
Beach slope
0.1 (V:H)
Annual average of significant wave height, ��¯
6.1 m
Annual standard deviation of significant wave height, ��
0.4 m
Offshore (deep) storm wave height Weibull parameter, �
1.24
Offshore (deep) storm wave height Weibull parameter, A
1.22 m
Offshore (deep) storm wave height Weibull parameter, B
1.17 m
Number of storms with Offshore (deep) Hs>1.5 m during 20 years
1546
The waves for design are expected to have a period of 15 s and coming with an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the vector perpendicular to the shoreline.
As a first step, determine the deep water wave whose wave height has a return period of 80 years. Use the Weibull distribution parameters and storm occurrence rate from the table.
The pier includes a docking site at the end. As a safety measure, the dock (end of pier) must be 80 m away from the breaking zone and the sediment closure depth. Determine the length of the pier and the depth at the docking site.
Hint 1: For the breaking criterion use k=0.78=H/h. You can use the approximation of lecture notes (i.e. the wave angle is approximately 0 at the breaking zone). Use the wave height of (a) to get the deep water wave.
Hint 2: For the closure depth use the “deeper seaward closure depth” and the formula of Hallermeier and Birkemeier. Compute He with �� and ��¯ from the table.
3. Determine the actual wave propagation angle of the design wave at the end of the pier and the wave height. Determine the minimum height of the pier so it only gets flooded with a return period of 80 years.
hand written answers only, clearly written and scanned please. be neat and organized and detailed and include all calculations and details please. see the images attached to the see the question better.
