How can we predict the height of a building without using the equipment?
Trigonometry is the best method which can be used to predict the height of the building without using equipment. But if possible than you can also ask to see the builders plan.

See lessWhat is Golden Ratio? How can we find out the Golden Ratio of any rectangular shaped body?
The Golden Ratio is an irrational number with never-ending infinite numbers of digits, 1.618033988749895..., which are highly confusing and misleading. It is a linear number and represents only two dimensions of the object. Drawing It Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio: Draw aRead more

Drawing It
Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio:
Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio.
See lessWhy gravity dam is called a gravity dam? Is there any reason behind the name?
Gravity dam, as the name suggests, is a dam that resists the water upstream by the use of its weight itself, unlike earthen dams and embankment dams that employ the shear strength of the soil. The dam is designed so that the resultant of the water pressure, earth pressure, and all other forces are aRead more
Gravity dam, as the name suggests, is a dam that resists the water upstream by the use of its weight itself, unlike earthen dams and embankment dams that employ the shear strength of the soil.
The dam is designed so that the resultant of the water pressure, earth pressure, and all other forces are aligned and balanced by the weight of the dam itself.
They are generally made of Roller compacted concrete.

Arch Dam ; Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span. The body of arch dam is generally made of cement concrete. Thus, arch dam is just a curved beam, the ends of which are restrained and the way in which the loadsRead more

Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span. The body of arch dam is generally made of cement concrete. Thus, arch dam is just a curved beam, the ends of which are restrained and the way in which the loads are resisted is termed a arch action.
Buttress Dam ;
A buttress dam or hollow dam with a solid, water-tight upstream side that is supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses or supports. A buttress dam envisages to reduce the total volume of concrete by constricting the material where the stresses are higher and other undesirable features of gravity dam but has higher cement content per cubic metre of concrete than a gravity dam.
