CEE 4554 Natural Disasters - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Over the last three lecture (lectures of March 8, March 10, and March 15) Prof. Ritchie discussed the sociological aspects of disasters and Prof. Zobel discussed the concept of resilience. These lectures served to provide you (engineers) with a different perspective of natural disasters. Rather than just thinking "what will be the damage caused by the disaster? Or "what can we do to minimize damage?", I wanted you to think "what is the true impact of disaster on society?" and "how can we develop measures that consider societal response?"
For this assignment, I want you to write a 500 to 1,000-word essay where you consider one problem raised in either of the three lectures, and then expand on what are the roles of engineers in addressing this problem.
To obtain a full grade, you must:
- Clearly identify and fully describe the problem you are addressing- Describe how current engineering practices addresses (or fails to address) this problem- Postulate how engineering practice must adapt to address this problem. This can be a solution proposed by others or proposed by yourself- You must demonstrate critical thinking to obtain full credit for the assignment

I can''t attach the lecture videos but I got the transcript of all three lectures and two lectures are from the same professor. When I put it all in a pdf, it turned out to be around 50 pages which is obviously because each video is 1 hr 15 minutes. It''s a lot of reading and reflecting as an engineer. Needs around 1000 words which should reflect critical thinking. Please use technical terms, and reflect critical thinking. Attaching the assignment and the lecture pdf. Please type in word and use IEEE citation while using external resources
Name two methods used in analysing structural members in civil engineering
For the remaining 15 m of its length, the diameter remains uniform at 200 mm. The height of water level in the tank is 5 m above the axis of the pipe. Determine the velocity of flow at the exit of the pipeline considering all losses. Assume Darcy'..
Assume the cycle in Problem 9.51 has a condenser operating at 20 kPa. What would the quality at the turbine exit be? Find the reheat temperature if reheat is at the 4 MPa extraction pressure and if the turbine should have a minimum quality of 90%.
If the pump is required to deliver water at a head of 30.5 m at maximum efficiency, determine the rotational speed, the discharge, and the required power.
ABC is a triangular tract of land. The 1.5 tract DEFG is to be subdivided. AE is 480ft and DC is 350 ft. Determine the lengths of DG and CB. (Note 1 acre= 43,560 f^2)
Find a steel building frame under construction. Observe the connections carefully and gure out why each is detailed as it is. If possible, arrange to talk with the structural engineer of the building to discuss the design of the frame.
What type of structure is this - What type of foundation of stone and gravel in Atlanta, Georgia and What was the engineering cause of the collapse
The figure shows a schematic of a torsion-bar suspension for an auto mobile (the torsion bar appears in cross section at A). If the three forces and the couple C = 900 lb · ft are equivalent to a upward vertical force R = 1200 lb acting at D, dete..
Assume that the current cost for a 120-pupil school constructed of wood frame for a city is $1,800,000. We are asked to develop an order-of-magnitude estimate for a 90-pupil school ?
A thin tube of 1/8 in thickness has a mean diameter of 6 in. What is the maximum torque the tube can transmit if the allowable normal stress in compression is 10 ksi
Water flows through 800 feet of 12-inch diameter iron pipe (g = 0.0018 inches) between 2 open storage tanks, whose water surface elevation difference is 16 feet. The pipe entrance is flush and square edged
A 10,000 cubic yards fill along a forest road right of waywill be compacted using grid rollers to a unit weight of 120 poundsper foot cubed. the fill material will be hauled to the site in 12cubic yard dump truck that are tipically loaded to about 85..
