CE 4001 COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
  Duration:    1.25  h                                                            Maximum  Marks:  [20]  
(i) Answer all questions. Answer to the question.
(ii) Indicate all intermediate steps clearly in the answers

1. The concentration of pollutant bacteria C in a decreases according to C=75𝑒 !!.!! +


20𝑒 !.!"#! Determine the time required for the bacteria for reducing the concentration to 15
using
(i) Newton Raphson method with an initial guess of t=0(4 iterations) (2)
(ii) Method of False Position with [4, 10] as the brackets (4 iterations) (2)

2. (a) Compute a real root of 2𝑥 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 + 1  using the method of Successive Approximation
starting with  𝑥! = 0, Carry out 3 iterations. (1.5)
(b) Use Aitkens ∆! process to get a more accurate solution using the above, (1.5)
(c) If the exact solution of the given equation is 0.83543, determine the Absolute error,
Relative error, Percentage error (1)

3. Solve the following system of linear algebraic equation using LU Decomposition technique
8𝑥 + 2𝑦 − 2𝑧 = −2 (5)
10𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 4𝑧 = 4  
12𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 2𝑧 = 6

4. A civil engineer involved in construction requires 4800, 5800, 5700 m3 of sand, fine gravel
and coarse gravel respectively for a building project. There are three pits from which these
materials can be obtained. The composition of these pits is given below
Pit Sand % Fine gravel % Coarse gravel %

I 55 30 15

II 25 45 30

III 25 20 55

How many cubic meters must be hauled from each pit in order to meet the engineer’s
needs? Use Gauss elimination method. (4)

5. Use Gauss Seidal method to obtain the following system of equations, correct up to three
significant digits. 17𝐶! − 2𝐶! − 3𝐶! = 500
−5𝐶! + 21𝐶! − 2𝐶! = 200
−5𝐶! − 5𝐶! + 22𝐶! = 30 (3)
