Question
Problem 1: Application of CA Disciplines (15 points) A new hotel is to be built in East Laramie (south of Walmart), between Crestridge Street, Vista Drive and Kerry Lynne Lane, as shown in Figure 1-1. The outside dimensions of the building are 700 by 300 feet You need to briefly describe, in a few sentences each, the application of the Civil and Architectural disciplines you have studied in class (CE Geotechnical, CE Structural, CE Transportation, CE Hydrology, CE Environmental, ARE Structural and ARE Mechanical) to the development of the site and building the necessary structures Hotel 700X300 ft Figure 1-1: Proposed Location of a new HotelExplanation / Answer
Geotechnical engineer plays a major role because every load that comes onto the structure should be transferred to the soil safely without excessive settlements. So, Geotechnical engineer visit the site and will take the test samples to the laboratory to measure soil bearing capacity and depending on the value type of foundation is decided.
And coming to Structural engineer, the whole design of the columns and the beams and the respective sizes and reinforcement details will be given.Hydrology or water resource engineering will give the design the proper drainage system and whether there is any seepage of water from the surrounding area etc. The environmental engineer will calculate the amount of pollution and the solid waste that will generate from the structure and the flow of air and the fire hydrant systems whether any issues and prepares Environmental impact assessment study report and the ARC structural and mechanical engineers will decide the setbacks to the buildings and the emergency exists etc.
