Introduction

Non-Disruptive Road Crossings are manuals which outline unifying and standardizing measures of Road Engineering Practices. The significant objective of the project is to enhance the management, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of all roads and related infrastructures to ensure a safe and uniform operational and structural capacity throughout the road network in Dubai. The complexity in road construction and to some point other engineering projects leaves very little to be argued about on their significance with respect to the influence they have on the environment. It is a fact that projects like roads, bridges, and dams ...

1. A 55 gal. drum of organic solvent, full and sealed, weighs 400 lbs. The empty drum weights 40 lbs. What is the density of the solvent, in kg/L? What is its specific gravity?
Variables:
Vdrum = 55 gal. = 0.208 m3
mempty = 40 lbs = 18.14 Kg
mfull = 400 lbs = 181.44 Kg
msolvent = ?
ρsolvent = ?
Relationships:
msolvent = mfull – mempty

ρ = m/V
Computation:
msolvent = 163.29 Kg
ρsolvent = msolvent/Vdrum = 163.29Kg/0.208m3 = 785.05 Kg/m3

2. A cylindrical object 0.5m in diameter and 2m long weights has a mass of 200kg. The object is floating end-down ...

Time

Specifications
The length of the project is three and a half miles. This is the aggregate length of the pipes that are going to be used in the project. The new project will use pipes that are 57 feet in length, inner diameter of 24 inches and a wall thickness of three quarter inches. The pipes will be wrapped with either coal tar wrapper or pry-tech wrapper. Three and a half miles translates to 18480 feet. With each pipe being 57 feet long, the whole project will require 325 individual pipes. With the previous length of 40 ...

1. Provision of the Antitrust Laws
The provisions invoked in the case were sections one and two of the Sherman Act, 1890. The provisions illegalized any persons or group of persons who shall in one way or another conduct themselves in a manner that would restrain trade. The conduct includes matters of contract and or trusts. In addition, the Constitutional clause on commercial transactions between states was also invoked as being ancillary to the matters at hand.

Analysis of Incident Investigation Data for Causal Factors

Abstract
Accidents may be caused by various conditions: the worker’s physical and psychological condition, safety rules control, overload at work, lack of manual to prevent accidents from happening. If the worker in poor physical condition, tired and incapable of thinking clearly, he should not be allowed to work any further for safety reasons, and those conditions of workers should be defined by the company’s safety control officers before letting him start the job. Giving overtime to workers also needs careful test of workers’ physical condition. Sometimes exploited may not be equipped with safety terms. Working with dangerous ...

Summary of the PG&E case

First of all, it is essential to refer to the background of the disaster, which has taken its place in 2010 (Sept. 9) – when fatal natural gas pipeline explosion occurred in the Bay Area city of San Bruno. While the disaster has occurred in the evening (6:11 pm PDT), the major part of local population has already arrived to their residences and were engaged into the home routine actions. The steel natural gas pipeline of the following size parameters (76 cm in diameter), which belonged to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) has exploded into flames.
Initial considerations of people, inhabiting ...
