RIVER INTAKE STRUCTURE

Image
  RIVER INTAKE As we know intake should be located at the upstream side of the city so pollution is minimum and this river intake should be sufficiently inside the river water so need of water can be supplied at every seasons of the year. Some river intakes are constructed near the bank of river when sufficient depth is available, some are created away from the bank of river when river bed is soft or unstable near bank, sometimes water level raised by constructing weir on the river and sometimes channel created and water led to the intake tower. This all situations divides river intake into two major types: (1) Single well type intake and (2) Twin well type intake. Parts of river intake are Intake well, Intake pipe and Jack well. River intake well has two parts, lower part is Jack well and upper part is surves pump house. SINGLE WELL TYPE RIVER INTAKE In single well type intakes water is directly enter into jack well through the penstockes (openings) created at different level. As ...

Cracks in Beams and Columns

Beams, Columns and other concrete structures is liable to have cracks in their two states, one in prehardening or plastic state and other in hardened state. Beams and columns with cracks are dangerous as they can no longer able to support design loads. Different conditions of loading and responce of structure shows different cracks formation in structure.  Let's discuss in short cracks in beams and columns; Crack in Beams, 1) Flexure crack When flexural capacity of R C beam is not adequate and cross section of the beam has insufficient main reinforcement or cross reinforcement, flexure cracks may develop in the beam. A single crack or group of crack starts where bending moment is maximum and the maximum width of crack found at bottom or top of the beam. Proper design may eliminate this cracks. 2) Torsion crack, This crack is similar to flexure crack as here torsional capacity and torsion reinforcement is inadequate and hence crack developing at whete torsion moment is maximum. This...

Automatic Weather Station

  Weather station Definition of weather station An automatic weather station (AWS) is defined as a “meteorological station at which observations are made and transmitted automatically”(WMO). It is a building or unit or integrated system for taking, recording, reporting and sometimes transmit metrological observation. It accommodated with instruments and equipments for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate. Advantages of AWS Some advantages of Automatic weather stations over the conventional one are: Data quality is independent from the observer. The data is taken & transmitted at the same time. The real time data is available which can be used forweather forecasting purpose / Disaster management etc. The frequency of the data can be increased as per the need of the user The data is available after the normal working hours also or any time. Operational costs reduces by reducing the number of observers. The stations can be established in the remote locations . Di...

CANAL INTAKE STRUCTURE

Image
  CANAL INTAKE Canal intake structure An irrigation canal used as the source of water when other source are far from the city. Intake structure constructed near the bank of canal. An intake chamber created inside the canal using concrete or masonry having one bell mouth entry pipe inside it. Intake chamber has opening guarded with coarse screen and bell mouth entry protected with fine screen or mesh. Bell mouth entry located at expected low water level of the canal. Water enters from this bell mouth entry and conveyed through withdrawal conduits to sump well or city.

SUBMERGED INTAKE STRUCTURE

  SUBMERGED INTAKE These intake structures are entirely constructed under water hence called submerged intake structure.  Generally the lake has shallow depth at the bank and center of lake has appropriate depth for intake to draw water so submerged intake provided at center of the lake. We also can say it is as lake intake. It is under the water hence operation and maintenance is quite difficult.

Civil Engineering Information Systems.

Civil engineering information systems refer to the use of technology to collect, manage, analyze, and present information related to civil engineering projects. This includes a wide range of software and hardware tools that support various aspects of civil engineering, such as planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation. Some examples of civil engineering information systems include: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software: Used to create digital models and designs of structures, buildings, and infrastructure. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Used to collect, store, analyze, and visualize geographic data, such as land use, terrain, and infrastructure networks. Building Information Modeling (BIM) software: Used to create detailed 3D models of buildings and infrastructure projects, which can be used for design, construction, and maintenance purposes. Project management software: Used to manage project schedules, budgets, resources, and communications. Structural analysis...

Amazing artificial intelligence tools that makes you better

 Man-made consciousness (artificial intelligence) alludes to the improvement of PC frameworks that can perform errands that regularly require human insight, for example, learning, critical thinking, navigation, and language getting it. It includes the utilization of calculations, AI, and profound gaining methods to empower machines to gain from information and adjust to new circumstances. Computer based intelligence is being applied in different fields like medical services, money, transportation, and schooling, to give some examples. With the outstanding development of information and registering power, artificial intelligence is quickly advancing, and its capability to upset the manner in which we live and work is colossal. Notwithstanding, it additionally presents moral and cultural difficulties, and cautious thought is expected to guarantee that it is created and utilized dependably. Some of the very well known and useful tools are shown below, as this is only for the informati...
