Based on the analysis of the case, Cirque du Soleil was performing shows in multiple locations globally with diverse cultural contexts. The traveling and permanent shows were unable to share customer and performer information, and there were issues due to the lack of standardized IT guidance for setting up villages. Given this context, propose an appropriate operating model for Cirque du Soleil

Determine the amount of steel area required for a simple supported beam with b=15″, h=27″, f’c=4,000 psi, fy=60,000 psi and Mu=390 k-ft. Choose a size and amount of bars and check for beam width. 

Calculate the weight in k/ft, of a reinforced concrete beam that has a cross section b=11″and h=26″. Span length is 18ft

Calculate the actual factored Moment, Mu of a slab that has a 225 psf dead load that includes the slab weight and a service live load of275 psf. Slab span is 15ft. Final result should be in k-ft

Calculate the weight in k/ft, of a reinforced concrete beam that has a cross section b=13″and h=24″. Span length is 16ft

Since our reading of the case, CEMEX has developed IT and Business Process Evolution (BPE) organization, together with an Evolution Committee. Back-office processes were grouped together, leaving a total of four core processes out of eight. One BPE leader, with full-time responsibility, was appointed to focus on the effectiveness and improvement of each one of the four processes. The team developed and maintained an IT platform for submitting and refining ideas. The team involves country representatives and ensures more openness to accept cultural issues.   Which best describes this stage in the evolution of enterprise architecture?

Determine the amount of steel area required for a one-way slab with a span of 16ft, f’c=4,000 psi, fy=60,000 psi and Mu=9.7 k-ft. Choose bar size and spacing check for maximum required spacing.
