I passed! Huzzah! Thank you to all the good posters on EB! State: North Carolina. *Happy Dance*

So in the solution to this problem, Lindberg uses the submerged weight of the granular fill. -- There is no mention of a water table in the statement. Is this an error?

I have this book. It's about what you'd get with course lecture notes. Does cover mass diagrams and earned value better than the CERM though. After having seen CERM, Ruwan, and SmartPros construction coverage, I think the market is wide open for anyone who wants to write a review guide for...

@pebound, I have the same concern. Looking at the solution, I'm thinking the second term should be divided by two since the shape is triangular. I get 1722cy plus change for the corners.

Thanks petobe. Glad to know it's not just me!

I also used f=0.0163, from the CERM appendix and came up with 3.74'. Calculating Re, I get an even lower 3.62' Can't get to the book answer!

A pump delivers 3.0 cfs of 70° F water through a 1000 foot, 12-inch steel discharge pipe. Assume a pipe roughness (e) of 0.0002 feet, and a Reynolds number of 3.0 * 10^5 . Use the Darcy equation to find the head loss (hf, feet) for the pipe. The book answer is 3.851. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, you are correct. (My error earlier was failing to use Nc from table 36.3 and only using the geometry adjustment. One more mistake I won't make on the 24th!)

Okay, perhaps one of you geotechs can help me. I think the answer should be 1.5ksf. Why is this not correct? Q: A 10-foot diameter circular footing bears at a depth of 5 feet in clay. The clay has a total unit weight of 110 pcf and an unconfined compressive strength (qu) of 0.8 tsf. Assume...

I'm going to assume we only need to know parabolic vertical and circular horizontal. If anyone knows better, let me know!

Does anyone know whether or not spiral curves covered in the morning section? Thanks!
