RC beam: $f'_c = 28\,\text{MPa}$ , $f_y = 420\,\text{MPa}$ , $b = 300\,\text{mm}$ , $d = 500\,\text{mm}$ , $A_s = 1{,}500\,\text{mm}^2$ . Nominal moment capacity (ACI):

a = \frac{A_s f_y}{0.85 f'_c b},\quad M_n = A_s f_y(d - a/2)

a
$264\,\text{kN\cdot m}$
b
$289\,\text{kN\cdot m}$
c
$315\,\text{kN\cdot m}$
d
$340\,\text{kN\cdot m}$

Correct answer: b

$289\,\text{kN\cdot m}$

a = \frac{630{,}000}{7{,}140} = 88.24\,\text{mm}

M_n = 630{,}000 \times 455.88 \approx 289\,\text{kN\cdot m}

Retaining wall: $\phi' = 30^\circ$ , $\gamma = 18\,\text{kN/m}^3$ , $H = 6\,\text{m}$ . Rankine active force:

K_a = \tan^2(45^\circ - \phi'/2),\quad P_a = \frac{1}{2}K_a\gamma H^2

a
$64.8\,\text{kN/m}$
b
$108\,\text{kN/m}$
c
$162\,\text{kN/m}$
d
$216\,\text{kN/m}$

Correct answer: b

$108\,\text{kN/m}$

K_a = \tan^2(30^\circ) = 1/3

P_a = 0.5 \times 0.333 \times 18 \times 36 = 108\,\text{kN/m}

Rational Method: $A = 50\,\text{ha}$ , $C = 0.60$ , $i = 80\,\text{mm/hr}$ :

Q = \frac{CiA}{360}

a
$3.33\,\text{m}^3/\text{s}$
b
$6.67\,\text{m}^3/\text{s}$
c
$10.0\,\text{m}^3/\text{s}$
d
$13.3\,\text{m}^3/\text{s}$

Correct answer: b

$6.67\,\text{m}^3/\text{s}$

Q = \frac{0.60 \times 80 \times 50}{360} = 6.67\,\text{m}^3/\text{s}

Horizontal curve: $R = 300\,\text{m}$ , $V = 80\,\text{km/h}$ . Superelevation + friction:

e + f = \frac{V^2}{gR}

a
$0.084$
b
$0.168$
c
$0.252$
d
$0.336$

Correct answer: b

$0.168$

e + f = \frac{22.22^2}{9.81 \times 300} = 0.168

Activities A (5 days) and B (8 days) start simultaneously; C (7 days) starts after both finish. Project duration:

a
$12\,\text{days}$
b
$13\,\text{days}$
c
$15\,\text{days}$
d
$20\,\text{days}$

Correct answer: c

$15\,\text{days}$

A and B run in parallel; earliest C starts is after 8 days. Total = 8 + 7 = 15 days.

W-shape steel beam: $Z_x = 1{,}200 \times 10^3\,\text{mm}^3$ , $F_y = 345\,\text{MPa}$ . Plastic moment (AISC LRFD):

M_p = F_y \cdot Z_x

a
$310\,\text{kN\cdot m}$
b
$414\,\text{kN\cdot m}$
c
$520\,\text{kN\cdot m}$
d
$690\,\text{kN\cdot m}$

Correct answer: b

$414\,\text{kN\cdot m}$

M_p = 345 \times 1{,}200 \times 10^3 = 414 \times 10^6\,\text{N\cdot mm} = 414\,\text{kN\cdot m}

Consolidation: $C_c = 0.30$ , $e_0 = 0.90$ , $H = 4\,\text{m}$ , $\sigma'_0 = 100\,\text{kPa}$ , $\Delta\sigma = 100\,\text{kPa}$ :

S = \frac{C_c H}{1 + e_0} \log\frac{\sigma'_0 + \Delta\sigma}{\sigma'_0}

a
$95\,\text{mm}$
b
$126\,\text{mm}$
c
$189\,\text{mm}$
d
$252\,\text{mm}$

Correct answer: c

$189\,\text{mm}$

S = \frac{0.30 \times 4}{1.9} \times \log 2 = 0.6316 \times 0.3010 = 0.190\,\text{m} \approx 189\,\text{mm}

Manning's equation. Rectangular channel: $b = 3\,\text{m}$ , $y = 1.0\,\text{m}$ . Hydraulic radius:

R = \frac{by}{b + 2y}

a
$0.50\,\text{m}$
b
$0.60\,\text{m}$
c
$0.75\,\text{m}$
d
$1.00\,\text{m}$

Correct answer: b

$0.60\,\text{m}$

R = \frac{3 \times 1.0}{3 + 2} = 0.60\,\text{m}

HCM freeway LOS: density = 22 pc/km/ln. The LOS is approximately:

a
LOS A (free flow)
b
LOS C (stable flow)
c
LOS D (approaching unstable flow)
d
LOS F (breakdown flow)

Correct answer: c

LOS D (approaching unstable flow)

Per HCM: A<=7, B<=11, C<=16, D<=22, E<=28 pc/km/ln. Density of 22 is at the upper bound of LOS D.

Earned Value: PV = $100,000, EV =$ 80,000, AC = $90,000. CPI:

a
$0.80$
b
$0.89$
c
$1.00$
d
$1.13$

Correct answer: b

$0.89$

\text{CPI} = \frac{EV}{AC} = \frac{80{,}000}{90{,}000} = 0.89

CPI < 1.0 indicates over budget.
