It is proposed to widen and strengthen an existing 2-lane NH section as a divided highway. The existing traffic in one direction is 2500 commercial vehicles (CV) per day. The construction will take 1 year. The design CBR of soil subgrade is found to be 5 percent, Given: traffic growth rate for CV = 8 percent, vehicle damage factor = 3.5 (standard axles per CV), design life = 10 years and traffic distribution factor = 0.75. The cumulative standard axles (msa) computed are

If the shear force at a section of beam under bending is equal to zero then the bending moment at the section is

In network of pipes

A volume of 3.0 x 10⁶ m³ of ground water was pumped out from an unconfined aquifer, uniformly from an area of 5 km². The pumping lowered the water table from initial level of 102 m to 99 m. The specific yield of the aquifier is
