Constriction Methods Assignments:
Problem A: This problem involves building an earth dam using 22,000, 000 cubic yards of clay and 4,000,000 cubic yards of clean sand, all compacted to 95% of maximum density based on ASTM D698(American society for testing and material.). The sand and clay are placed in separate sections of the natural ground level. Below ground level 30 feet of wet sand needs to be removed and replaced with compacted clay to a depth of 30 feet with an excavation width averaging 100 feet. The clay will obtained three miles from the project at an elevation 100 feet below the project site that is only accessed using a dirt road. The clay is very hard. The sand is available accessed by paved road, 17 miles away, and 300 feet below the project site. The project needs to be completed in 800 days.

Problem B: This problem involves building a steel frame high rise office building with three levels below ground (30 feet below ground). The building is 40 stories high and is located in the center of a city. The soil conditions involve soft clay to a depth of 120 feet with a water table at 20 feet. The project needs to be completed in 800 days.
Determine the amount and types of equipment you feel should be used on this project?
Problem C: The Problem involves building a 12 - foot diameter sewer at a bottom depth of 40 feet in loose sand with a water table at a depth of 8 feet. The alignment is along city streets. The project needs to be completed in 800 days.
Determine the amount and types of equipment you feel should be used on this project?(The sewer is ten miles in length)
Problem D: The involves building a 80 feet highX80X100 reinforced concrete structure twenty feet below river bottom in soft clay. Water depth at the location is 30 feet. The structure is 200 feet from the river edge. The project needs to be completed in 800 days.
