Design of the canal DESIGN OF THE CANAL In the design of a canal one has to find out bed width (B) depth (D), longitudinal slope (S), and velocity of flow (V). If discharge (Q) and silt factor (f) are given, the method of finding. This aspect limits only finding the sectional dimensions of the cana...
Essential properties of a good lining ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES OF A GOOD LINING Following are the essential properties of a good lining: The lining should be completely water tight. The rugosity coefficient of the lining material should be low, so as to make the section more efficient, hydraulically. T...
STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE WHAT IS STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE (SFRC)? SFRC is a composite material made of hydraulic cements, water, fine and coarse aggregate, and a dispersion of discontinuous, small fibers. It may also contain pozzolans and admixtures commonly used with conventional con...
Low Cost Housing Low Cost Housing Low Cost Housing is a new concept which deals with effective budgeting and following of techniques which help in reducing the cost construction through the use of locally available materials along with improved skills and technology without sacrificing the strength...
Earthquake Resistant Buildings Earthquake Resistant Buildings Earthquake causes ground motions in a random fashion, both horizontally and vertically in all directions from the epicenter. As a result, the structures found in the ground vibrate, inducing inertial forces on them. It is therefore essen...
