Q U E S T I O N 3 (25 M A R K S )
P r e c a s t concrete barriers are proposed to be located at a few parts of a highway
for a cycling race event. A s the manufacturer selected, you a r e required to
provide the precast a s shown in Figure Q 3 . Other than that, for record
purposes, the manufacturer is also required to provide all details including the
centroid and moment of inertia of the precast concrete barrier. Therefore,
