Important Information for Students
The criteria each task relates to are shown against that task where possible.
Please note that plagiarism is treated as a serious offence and therefore the work you produce must be individual and original although may work in groups in some instances (Please refer to Student Handbook on Plagiarism & Cheating).
All sources of information must be referenced using “Harvard referencing” where a reference listing should be included at the end of the assignment.
Please note that the submission date given for this assignment is the final date that you can hand over the assignment. A one week grace period maybe extended with prior approval from the Program Manager – Undergraduate. However, note that submissions handed in one week late will be graded lower (Please refer to the Student Handbook on Assessments - Late Submissions & Penalties).
Assignments returned to students for re-working must be re-submitted within 10 days (Please refer to Student Handbook on Assignments – Re-submission).
Failure to re-submit the previously marked assignment with the re-submitted assignment will mean that results cannot be released for the respective unit.
Please read, follow and reference both the contents of the unit outline and the grading criteria of the assignment before completing this assignment.

1. Calculate the total cost ( cost of material and labour) required laying a concrete foundation of 350mm height for the floor plan shown in Figure Q1 with a 1: 2: 6 ( cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) concrete. The specific gravities of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are 3.81 kg / m3, 2.62 kg / m3 and 2.73 kg / m3 respectively. Cost of material
Cement: Rs. 900 per 50 kg bagFine aggregate: Rs. 5000 per 1000 kgCoarse aggregate: Rs. 3000 per 1000 kg
Labour Time: 2 hours per 1 m3
Cost: Rs. 100.00 per hour

a) Plot the data on a graph sheet. [P2.2]b) Obtain the line of best fit for the data distribution. [P2.2]c) Is straight-line approximation acceptable for this data distribution? Justify your
answer. [D3]d) During the test carried out to measure the compressive strength of a concrete block a
voltage of 3.2V was observed. What is the load on the block? [M1]
3. A surveyor wishes to find the distance between two inaccessible points A and B on opposite sides of a lake shown in figure Q3. While standing at point C, she finds that AC= 259m,
BC= 423m and angle of ACB measures . Find the distance AB. [P2.1]
4. A surveyor reported the following data about a piece of property: “The property is triangular in shape, with dimensions are shown in figure Q4.” Find whether such a piece of property could exist. [M2]
