And a masters degree in transportation. I live/work in bay area, CA. So it is not so much as it seems to be. But...

    WHICH STATES ARE STILL WAITING?

    Maine is also a historical region and former province of northwest France south of Normandy. United with Anjou in 1126, it passed to England when Henry Plantagenet became king in 1154. Maine reverted to the French crown in 1481.

    Superelevation tables

    Thanks for the clarification. I understand that it is a transition, but, the radius given are different for 1.5 and 4 from the emax =4% table. Does this mean that the radius is continuously changing, if so, dosen't it mean that the curve is not a simple curve? And why is R different for same e...

    length of crash cushion attenuators

    Is the maximum deceleration rate given, if so just use formulas from table 71.1 in CERM to determine the compression length. See prob 92 in 6 mins. If that is not your intended question, I too would like to know the answer

    Superelevation tables

    Hope everyone are studying well. I know every one must be busy at this time, but I cant help posting this question just to see if I can get a reply. Well, the green book consists of a bunch of superelevation tables. I think I understand exhibit 3-15, which is straightforward since it has...

    NORMAL DEPTH

    I figured out a better way. I found ASCE water PE materil which has charts plotting yn/d for various k values. That would be the fastest way to solve for the normal depth in circular pipes. Toanswer my first Q, I think we can just use ythe manning equation to solve for Yn.

    Bearing capacity equations

    I am taking geo breadth only, and I am not sure how in depth I have to go in regard of the bearing capacity equations. Since the bearing capacity factors are varying and are not consistent I am getting different results. Also the shape and depth corrections given in lindeburg are limited when...

    NORMAL DEPTH

    I am not able to figure out how to use charts to arrive at normal depth for open channel problems with a circular cross section. I am able to use the chart in Appendix 19-C and table 19.3 in CERM to arrive at Q/Qfull, but I am kind of stuck in there. Should I be just using the mannings...

    Engg. economics problem.

    is there a simpler way to do part B. The above way is time consuming.

    B/C Ratio

    I cannot reach at a valid answer, may be my reasoning is flawed. Here is how I tried to solve it: 1) I thought that Q is asking for B/C ratio of the alternative to the B/C ratio of the original 2) The output and revenue are the same, which means the benefits are the same, thus cancel out...

    Engg. economics problem.

    Thank Sac for trying it out. I think I got the answer. What I basically did was to convert everything back to the present values, then used (A/P, 10%, 25) to find the A, which is what is asked for in the first place. My Answer is $26,575, option C. For the second part: Step 1: Converted the...
