    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 a square (of size “1”)
    • Place a dot half way along one side
    • Draw a line from that point to an opposite corner (it will be √5/2 in length)
    • Turn that line so that it runs along the square’s side

    Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio.

    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 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.

    The reason for the kickoff meeting is to officially notify all partners that the project has started and ensured everybody has a typical comprehension of the undertaking and his job. The kickoff meeting is a chance to get all the colleagues, clients, and stakeholders together and officially set up for the beginning of the project. Like every official meeting, there ought to be a plan. There are various explicit things you need to cover at this meeting:

    Length. Although most kickoff meetings can be directed in an hour or two, others may require a day or two. The longer kickoff meetings are particularly significant if the undertaking is extremely perplexing or dubious. Now and again, a long kickoff meeting might be valuable as an approach to assemble starting prerequisites, although that would not be the primary role.

    Preparation. It is said you never have another opportunity to establish a decent first connection. This is valid with the kickoff meeting. You are utilizing the meeting to help set desires for the undertaking. If the meeting is unorganized, chaotic, or a waste of time, the members will likely convey those discernments into the task also.

The undertaking administrator ought to likewise converse with the support early and settle on sure that they are in concurrence with how the meeting will advance.
