ES-1¶

Purpose:¶

Demonstrate ability to read and summarize relevant engineering literature, and communicate that summary in writing.

Read and summarize the linked article from a 2013 issue of “Civil Engineering.” http://54.243.252.9/ce-3372-webroot/2-Exercises/ES1/LosAngelesAquaductHistory.pdf

A brief (2 pages maximum, exclusive of references) summary of the article. In the summary:

Describe the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
List the different types of conveyances and hydraulic machines that are employed (closed conduit, open conduit, lift stations, etc.) in its operation.
Explain what design and/or construction features were employed that were novel for their time.
Conclude with a comparison of the Los Angeles Aqueduct to a large-diameter gas pipeline. What are the similarities and differences?
Cite any external references you employed for the exercise (these citations are not included in the page count).
