Week-7 Lab Grading Criteria

Here’s are the weights used by the grader (Mr. Nourzad) for grading the Week-7 Lab (the bridge visit)

1. 10% - Sketch the truss span
2. 0%  - Monitor the strain gage data
3. 5% – Photograph of the truck
4. 15%  - Cross-sectional area of the top chord
5. 20% - Identify the maximum strain
6. 15% - Truck weight distributed transversely to the two trusses
7. 15% - Estimate the weight of the truck
8. 5% -  Is the computed truck weight less than the legal limit?
9. 15% - Comment on the accuracy of the estimated truck weight

Hydrology-LCA Lab–Formula Correction

A sharp student caught an error in the lab you’re working on this week.  You will want to make the following correction to the spreadsheet.

Sheet - Quest4 LCA Problem

Cell C13 – The formula should be   “= C10”

This means that the reduction in runoff is the same as the amount of toilet flushing water supplied with rainfall.  (The prior formula calculated the overflow).

Revit Lab Deliverables Definition

Question

“What are the components that need to be turned in for lab 2 in CAEE 201? I was told by the TA in the lab to only save the PDF of the sheet. On BBVista it says 20 points of the grade is the Revit model. Does this mean I needed to save my Revit file, and submit that also? Please let me know as soon as possible, because if that's the case I'm going to need to find time to re-do the lab.”

Answer

We’d like all the ingredients defined in the lab description. Since we’ve been a bit loose verbally I’m asking the TA’s to be lenient in the grading, but we want what it says under “Deliverables”:

1. Revit Model submitted to VistaBB
2. PDF of "Sheet showing product of Work" submitted to VistaBB
3. Word document describing the experience, as defined above - Also submitted to VistaBB
