| 1. | Your company has been awarded with a contract to build a dam across a river flowing through a gorge in Sarawak. The width of the top section varies from 100 m to 150 m. The river is situated between 80 m to 100 m below from the top of the gorge. The surveys indicated various profiles for the gorge cross sections as shown in the FIGURE Q1. Assuming for each 3 cross sections the width and the depth are the same, propose the suitable height of the dam and carry out detail hydrostatic analysis of the dam. State the criteria of the best design and the final proposal shall recommend the best location of the dam based on the detail analysis. U-section Square section V-section FIGURE Q1 [50 marks] | |
| 2. | A new suspension bridge is to be constructed across Sungai Manjung to link between the new towns to be developed. The width of the river is between 1 km to 1.2 km across the banks. To support the towers of the suspension bridge, bases must be built on the riverbed as FIGURE Q2. Due to high flow nature of Sungai Manjung, the bases must be designed to accommodate the hydrodynamics requirement of the flow.
FIGURE Q2 Propose a lab scale experimental setup to study the hydrodynamic properties of the bases with respect to the flow. State the requirements it must satisfy for the design of the bridge. Research and state the assumption on the sizes, and river flow parameters. [50 marks] |
