Outdoor lighting

Commonly used outdoor lamps are metal halide (MH) and high pressure sodium (HPS). LEDs are also increasingly replacing them in outdoor applications, such as pedestrian path lighting. The quality of light differs among lamp types and is an important selection criteria considered with efficacy, efficiency, lamp life, and initial cost.

Match the light quality with a lamp type:

I. amber light II. white to bluish white light III. warm white
1. MH 2. HPS 3. LED (3000K)

A. 1=I, 2=II, 3=III
B. 1=III, 2=I, 3=II
C. 1=II, 2=III, 3=I
D. 1=II, 2=I, 3=III




D is correct.
Kelvin scale, at 2000K-4000K is warmer (yellowish), while 10000K becomes cool white or bluish.

Radius of gyration

For column design, the radius of gyration incorporates area and the moment of inertia. This value represents the resistance of a cross-section to buckling, which in columns happens under a load parallel to its lesser dimension. The slenderness ratio is the ratio of a column's effective length (modified by K-value to account for its end conditions) to its least radius of gyration. For a W12x16 A36 steel column with a least radius of gyration of 0.773, whose ends are both free to rotate but fixed in translation (K=1), what is it's slenderness ratio? Answer Kl/r = (1)(12feet)(12in/ft) / 0.773 = 186.3 ARE 4.0 exam prep: SS

Parking units

What are the car stall dimensions for a compact car? Answer A compact car stall size can be set by each municipality and therefore varies. Generally it is 7ft 6in wide by 15ft 0in long. However, in Fresno CA it's 8 1/2ft x 16ft and according to an Iowa urban design manual, it's 7ft 6in by 16ft. ARE 4.0 exam prep: SPD
