In a BOD test using 5% dilution of the sample (15 ML of sample and 285 mL of dilution water), dissolved oxygen values for the sample and dilution water blank bottles after five days incubation at 20°C were 3.80 and 8.80 mg/L. respectively. Dissolved oxygen originally present in the undiluted sample was 0.80 mg/L. The 5-day 20°C BOD of the sample is
It is proposed to widen and strengthen an existing 2-lane NH section as a divided highway. The existing traffic in one direction is 2500 commercial vehicles (CV) per day. The construction will take 1 year. The design CBR of soil subgrade is found to be 5 percent, Given: traffic growth rate for CV = 8 percent, vehicle damage factor = 3.5 (standard axles per CV), design life = 10 years and traffic distribution factor = 0.75. The cumulative standard axles (msa) computed are
