CIVIL ENGINEERING

LEVEL 2 DESIGN PROJECT

Summary of Project:

This project consists of undertaking a series of in-depth Civil Engineering calculations for a proposed four-storey office building. In the following sections the client has asked you to produce specific design calculations relating to highways, geotechnics, structures and civil engineering management for the proposed building.

All design charts are to be annotated and presented in the report. The presentation of the report must be to a very high and accurate standard i.e. you are employed by the client to produce a series of professional design calculations – marks will be deducted if this is not achieved.

Section 1 - Highway Design:

A proposed access road is required to the office block leading from the existing road at the northern edge of the site (Figure 1.1); the client has asked you to:

1.1. Calculate the pavement thickness for the new road given that the Subgrade CBR value is 6% and that the Base is Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM), give all possible alternatives, using the DfT Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, Vol. 7 Section 2. Produce a cross section of the new road showing the details of pavement layers/thickness, camber, and interfaces with the kerb and footway, using examples given in the lecture notes.

1.2. Produce both a horizontal alignment and vertical alignment for the proposed road between points ‘A’ and ‘B’, in a similar format to the layouts/alignments shown in the worked example issued to you.

1.3. Calculate the required cut and fill material showing the calculation procedure and the geometry of the corresponding sections.Design a car parking layout for 10 vehicles adjacent to the building within the bordered area of the office block, using examples given in the lecture notes.

1.4. Use ARCADY and the provided input file (from X-Stream) of geometric and traffic data to model/analyse a modified version of the Roundabout (connecting the new access road and the existing road). You need to run Arcady on the existing input file first and then run it again on a modified input file using your unique value for the specified geometric parameter (see the attached Table 1.5). Remember to save each of the two output files, which you should later annotate and attach to your report of Highway Design. Based on these two files compare the performance of the junction particularly in terms of capacity, queues and delays.

(25Marks)

Note: All design charts used must be annotated and presented in the report.All volumes of the DoT Design Manual for Roads and Bridges are available from: http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk

Highway Design (Section 1) must be submitted separately from the other sections and must: Be clearly marked for the attention of Amer Ali Have your name on the work Be submitted by the deadline: 7th of April 2011 via the box of the school office.


Section 2 – Geotechnical Design:

Part A - Geology aspects:

Figure 2.1 attached shows a level site intended for the four-story office development. The logs of boreholes drilled at the marked locations are as shown on the diagram. Using this information the client has asked you to:

2.1. Determine the heights above datum for all the junctions recorded in the boreholes (work to an accuracy of 0.5 m).

2.2. Use a strike line construction to draw a geological cross-section for line LM and calculate the direction and angle of dip.

2.3. Determine the vertical thickness of the limestone.2.4. Determine the depth below ground level of the base of the limestone at points P, Q, R

and S on the plan.2.5. Describe any significant features of the ground conditions that you would take into

account in the design and construction of various types of foundation appropriate for the four-storey office building PQRS.

Part B - Foundation design:It has been decided that a pad foundation for the four-storey office building will be situated on the top of the clay layer (i.e. 2 m below ground level). The office block is to be erected quickly, ultimately imposing a uniform net stress of 450 kN/m2 to the soil. The bulk unit weight () of the clay is 20 kN/m3 and the bulk unit weight of the made ground is 19.4 kN/m3. The clay has undrained modulus (Eu) of 48 MN/m2

, a coefficient of volume change (mv)of 8.4 x l0-5

m2/kN and a coefficient of consolidation (cv) of 5.2x10-8 m2/s. Your foundation size is given in Table 2.1a or 2.1b. The client has asked you to:Determine the average immediate settlement the clay will undergo and to comment on this value.Produce calculations to predict the total amount of consolidation settlement of the clay layer under the imposed loading of the building and to comment on this value. The stress changes at the mid-height of the clay may be regarded as being representative of the whole layer.

2.7 Construct a ‘full’ time settlement curve for the foundation due to the consolidation of the clay. (25 Marks)Geotechnical Design (Section 2) must be submitted separately from the other sections and must: Be clearly marked for the attention of Martin Pritchard

Have your name on the work Be submitted by the deadline: 5th of May 2011 via the box of the school office.


Section 3 - Structural Design:

The client has asked you to design the beam shown in Figure 3.1. All loads given are unfactored, and include the self-weight of the beam. A 610 x 229 x 101 kg/m steel universal beam is to be used. Assume the beam is fully laterally restrained along its entire length. The left-hand end of the beam is supported by a 10mm thick angle seating cleat with 2mm projection past the end of the beam. Carry out the following tasks:

3.1. Calculate the end reactions and produce shear force and bending moment diagrams based on ultimate loading.

3.2. Using either BS5950 or EC3, produce a design check for the beam in bending, shear and deflection.

3.3. Produce a design check for bearing failure.3.4. Produce a design check for buckling failure.3.5. At this stage the client introduces depth restrictions to accommodate service pipes

and requests you to redesign the beam within a depth zone of 470mm. Select a suitable section size and repeat steps 3.2 – 3.4 above for this beam section.

3.6. On plain A4 size paper, produce a suitable detail (plan and section) to scale to show how four 610 x 229 x 101 kg/m steel beams would be connected to a 203 x 203 x 46 kg/m UC steel stanchion using angle beam cleats. Show all dimensions and notes. Assume:

(a) All top flanges are level with the top of the stanchion.(b) 2 No. 70 x 70 x 8 angle web cleats to each beam.(c) M20 diameter bolts in 22mm diameter holes.

(25 Marks)

Structural Design (Section 3) must be submitted separately from the other sections and must: Be clearly marked for the attention of Phil Garrison Have your name on the work Be submitted by the deadline: 5th of May 2011 via the box of the school office.


Section 4 – Civil Engineering Management

For this component you are required to:

4.1. Produce the pre-construction information document which should be made available to a potential Principal Contractor in accordance with the ACOP, Managing Health and Safety in Construction (2007). Assume that you are the CDM Coordinator for this project and in the document you must make such assumptions as are necessary for the information to be site-specific.

4.2. On a copy of the plan, indicate the location of the temporary site facilities. Produce and label a sketch layout of the components of these facilities necessary to satisfy office accommodation, welfare facilities, site security, health and safety and any other features considered necessary. All aspects need to be shown and this needs to be linked to the construction sequence.

4.3. Produce, for this specific development, a short Environmental Impact Statement on the key environmental and sustainability issues and how these might be addressed during the project life cycle.

4.4. Prepare, in accordance with the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement 3rd Edition (CESMM3), taking off and a Bill of Quantities for all Class R aspects of the proposed development.

(25 Marks)

Civil Engineering Management (Section 4) must be submitted separately from the other sections and must:

Be clearly marked for the attention of David Allen Have your name on the work Be submitted by the deadline: 7th of April 2011 via the box of the school office.
