Assignment
Wicked urban problems are all around us. They also appear in the news...often surrounded by controversy. Case studies of such wicked problems help illustrate the politically-charged interface between government and private stakeholders in urban planning. This assignment requires you to conduct an analysis of the news to identify examples of "wicked" urban problems that are making headlines. You will identify a case study that illustrates the highly political and controversial "wicked" nature of urban planning?
Search the news for articles addressing urban issues that fit the four criteria for "wicked" problems discussed in class. Your task for this assignment is to identify a real-life urban planning case study that illustrates the political, and often controversial, nature of the planning process. Case studies can be local or in another city, can relate to any of the functional areas of planning (e.g. transportation, housing, economic development, environmental planning, etc.), and may be project-specific or focused on larger comprehensive planning activities. Pick a case study for which you can find adequate details and information about the planning problem being addressed. You must find a minimum of three sources of information about your case study. All sources must be properly cited and referenced.
Write an essay that clearly addresses the following for the wicked problem you identified:
--Explain the background of the urban planning case study being addressed--Discuss why the problem is a "wicked" one:--Why is the problem itself difficult to define?--Why are the causes of the problem uncertain?--Why is there no obvious solution?--How is the problem linked to other problems?--Discuss the public sector and private sector participants and stakeholders involved in the case, and how conflicting values and issues of power contribute to the controversy.
Find the area of steel reinforcement required for a concrete T-beam for the following data; f'c = 3 ksi, fy=60 ksi,d=18 in, t= 4.5 in., bw= 10 in., bf= 36 in., 3/4" aggregate, and the section sustains a total factored bending moment 82 k-ft.
At noon on a sunny summer day with a surface wind speed of 4m/s, SO2 is released over rough terrain from a 90m stack at a rate of 400g/s. Assume that the plume rise is 60m.
A compacted fill is being built with two sheep's-foot drum rollers, 5 ft wide, operating at 1.5 mi/hr. Four passes are required to obtain the 5-in. depth of compacted fill to meet the specifications density.
A sealed insulated room contains 90 m^3 air at 12 C and 100 kPa. A container with 45 kg of water at 95 C is placed in the room. After heat transfer between the air and water, thermal equilibrium is reached.
Determine the maximum temperature in the tank. Take the thermal conductivity of the wastes as 2.0 W/mK.
Design a non air entrained concrete mix using a maximum aggregate size of 27mm to be used for an interior beam having a 28-day compressive strength of 35 MPa (specified strength based on cylinder). The material properties are as follows:
The velocity of propagation, c of surface waves is assumed to depend on the water depth, y, the water density, and the acceleration due to gravity, g. Express these variables as a dimensionless group.
What is the percentage error in the bulk unit weight if the soil is the percentage error in the bulk unit weight if the soil is 95% saturated but assumed to be 100% saturated?
