Ql Local authority of Keretapi Project is constructing a railway fack of Railway classjl with
design speed of 120 km,4u. Train axle load is 18 ton and Stiffness Modulus, I = 175.5 kg/cm'.
It is planned to use rail Bpe of R.54 which elasticity modulus is 2 x l0o kglcm' and Inertia
moment is 2346 cma (Figure Ql). Based on all information above, you are asked to:

(a) Determine load components (P and,l).

(5 marks)
(b) Determine moment maximum M..
( l0 marks)
(c) Determine deflection at 2.50 meters ftom point load.
( l0 marks)

Q2 l,ocal Covemment is planning to conshuct an Airpod with the standard for Boeing 747-100,
Boeing 737-200 and Boeing 727-200. Tl\e following Table Q2(a) gives the average annual
departues and maximum take-off weight of each aircraft tlpe expected to use an airport
pav€ment. Conversion factors for converting fiom one aircraft type to another can be seen in
Table Q2(b). The runway Airport pavement will be consfucted using flexible pavement with
three layers: Hot-mix asphalt, Base couse and Sub-base course (Figure Q2(a)). CBR subgade
is 6% and CBR for Sub-base is 20%. Based on all information above

(a) Determine Wheel load for each aircraft (note that the 727-200 is the design aircraff)
( l0 marks)

O) Design the total thickness of pavement and thickness of each layer (use Figure Q2(b) and
Figure Q2(c)).
( l5 marks)

Q3 Water perform in the wave field orbital motions in two differcnt conditions such as large
deplh/short waves and short deptl/long waves (Figure Q3(a) and Figure Q3(b)). Studies like
JONSWAP have shown that wind-generated wave properties depend on wind speed I/v and
fetch 4 the angle-average length the wind is blowing over the water. Based on the data
collection, maximum height of wave is 1.8 meters with the angle of 35" and data of wind speed
are l0 m,/sec, l5 m,/sec and 20 m,/sec. &:0.301 m-'. You are asked to

(a) Detemine wave dispenion and phase speed for shod wave and long wave
( 12 marks)
@) Determine average wave height and wave pedod due to the wind
(13 ma*s)

Q4 Vertical wall breakwaters are constucted sunounding the Harbor for the safety and Fotection
ftom the waves.The break\raters are designed tnically for non-breaking waves with two
different t)?es: with shallow mound and no shallow mound. Waves data and dimensions of
brcakwaleG are shown in Figure Q4(a) and Figure Q4(b). Based on information above,

(a) Design the Horizontal Force breakwat€rs lrilh shallow moxnd by rrsing Miche-Rundgien approach
and Goda approach
(10 marks)
(b) Desip the Horizontal Force brcakwaters with no shallorr mound W $ing Miche-Rundgen and
Goda approach
(| 0 marks)
(c) Comment briefly the results obtained ftom Q4(a) and QaO)
(5 marks)
