Using a waste factor of 6 percent, determine the number of cubic yards of concrete needed to pour the foundation walls shown in Figures 11.38 and 11.39.

What will be an ideal response?


The wall lengths are shown in Figure 11-4.



Length of wall (lf) = 28? + 40? + 28? + 40? + 12? + 17? = 165?



Foundation wall concrete (cy) = 165? × 12? × 1? = 1,980 cf / 27 cf per cy = 73.33 cy



Add 6% waste and round off.



Foundation wall concrete (cy) = 73.33 cy × 1.06 = 77.73 cy – Use 77.75 cy

For the FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 installation analyzed in Problem 9.27, do the following using a spreadsheet:

(a) Find the PI for the first 6 years of operation.
(b) Find the required ?NCF for next year if Dickinson plans to invest an additional $150,000 in year 7 and wants to realize an increase in profitability such that PI = 1.20.

Dickinson, a large oil and gas drilling and operating corporation, has invested over the past 6 years in the installation and operation of a FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 (FF H1) system developed by Pepperl+Fuchs of Germany. A project engineer has collected information on annual net cash flow increases (?NCF) gener­ated by the FF H1 system and the annual invest­ments made by Dickinson in the system. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the PI of this endeavor. Has it proven to be economically worthwhile?
