Sample Quiz #2
Sample questions for Quiz #2 (Geotechnical Engineering) are
posted under "recitation". Yvonne will go through
the quiz with you during Monday's recitation. The 1 1/2
hour exam will be given in two parts: part one will be closed book
and should take less than 30 minutes. Part two will be open
book which will be distributed after you've turned in part
1. This portion should take you 1 hr +/- to complete.
A review session is scheduled for Friday, May 18, 2007 from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. Location TBD.

Geotechnical Engineering Section Project 4
Project 4 is due on Thursday, May 10, 2007; however, you can
turn in this report by Tuesday, May 15. This project must be
submitted by 5pm, Tuesday, May 15, 2007.
Also note that Draft 2 of the site characterization report must be submitted the last day of class (hard copy due in class and electronic copy uploaded to Stellar by 5pm, May 17). Note that, as discussed in class, this Draft 2 of the site characterization report is optional.

1.036 final report announcement
March 9th 2007
Dear 1.036 students
Thank you for turning in your
project report 2 in a timely manner. The third and the final
structural design report will be due on Monday, March
19th 2007. Due to the tight schedule, we will not have
any flexibility on the due date. Thus, please, start to make
progress; by this time, you have most of the knowledge needed for
this design phase.
As to the scope of the work in
this phase, the initially defined deliverables are:
final design calculations, cross
sectional details, deflection diagrams, discussion of
architectural, mechanical, and structural implications of the
design.
I would like to limit the design
activity considering the time we have left for this unit. Please
limit your work to the following.
1) Choose a floor level such as
floor 4 where column size changes for that floor from that of the
third floor.
2) Design the two exterior
columns, say on the left side of the building, continuing from
floor 3 to floor 4.
3) Design the beams between floor
3 and 4 extending from the left corner between the columns toward
right continuing two spans (two beams side by side).
4) Design the two continuous floor
slabs between the two columns monolithically interacting with the
beams and the columns you are designing. I suggest you design these
two floor panels as one way slabs transferring the loads in the
cross direction of the main frame.
5) Show the details of the
exterior joint between the two columns and the beam you are
designing.
6) Compute short term and long
term deflections under the combination of un-factored service dead
loads + live loads for the beams. This calculation will account for
cracking of the beams.
7) Compute crack width that can be
expected from these beams under the service conditions.
8) Show clearly the deflections of
the overall frame members and the deflected shape of the entire
frame under a) un-factored dead + live service loads, b) one of the
un-factored earthquake / wind loads (this will be from the SAP
analysis that you have previously performed; in fact, some teams
have already included this in report 2).
9) Clearly prepare drawings for
cross sections, reinforcements, reinforcement extensions along the
elements, overlapping details etc.
10) Discussion of your design,
comparisons, other considerations such as architectural and
mechanical.
11) I also suggest that you
briefly summarize any revisions or reanalysis to your previous
report if needed. And also include a section in your report
articulating your overall design experience, important points, and
the highlights of what you have learned in this design
process.
These are the desired contents of
the report 3. Each team will use creativity and judgment in
organizing and formatting the report. I am open for comments and
suggestions.
