What are the advantages of running electrical cables through PVC conduits in the walls over running in the slab? Are there any problems which may come up in the future if we run electrical cables conduits in the slab?

    The main advantage, from my point of view, is that it may so happen that we may want to demolish a wall in the house for what so ever reason, but we can’t dismantle or harm the slab since its a structural member.

    The second reason is that a slab may run continuously throughout the structure; hence we can lay straight cables throughout the structure and provide connection where ever required, but in case of walls, we may not find this convenient.

    Also, if the walls are periphery or exterior walls, which may be directly exposed to rains, then it may cause Earthing issues.

    DEFINITION

    The prime system for moving water from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth is precipitation. At the point when the mists meet cool air above land, precipitation, like rain, sleet, or snow, is activated and water comes back to the land (or ocean). An extent of atmospheric precipitation dissipates.

    Substantial precipitation happens close to the equator and diminishes with the increase in the latitude, for example, Towards polar locations. The primary source of moisture for ppt is dissipation from the seas. In this way, ppt will, in general, be heavier close to coastlines. Since the lifting of air masses is the reason for practically all ppt, the amount and recurrence of rain is generally more prominent on the windward side of the mountain as the downslope movement of air brings about to perish in stickiness, in this way, the contrary sides of hindrances as a rule experience generally light ppt. A high measure of ppt is accounted for at higher rises.

    Tray Test is used to calculate the rate of spread of prime or tack coat. The test uses a 20cm X 20 cm X 3 cm tray placed on the surface to be primed at some intervals in the path of the sprayer/emulsion distributor. They are placed between the wheel’s path/tracks.

    5 samples are collected for a test and a minimum of 3 tests are conducted for a day of work.

    Weight of the emulsion on the tray is calculated by finding the difference in the final and the initial weight of the tray. Weight per unit sq.m or weight per 10 sq.m is obtained and checked with specified limits mentioned in MORT&H Table 500–3 (prime coat) and 500–5 (Tack coat) or other relevant IRC specifications.

    Initially before the start of the priming work, a demonstration trial is done based on the following parameters:

    1. Equipment type for spraying operation
    2. Size of nozzle
    3. Pressure at spray bar
    4. Speed of forward movement of sprayer equipment.

    Above values are ascertained and calibrated for a required rate of spray as per the specification by using tray test prior to the start of actual work.

    In simple words, work breakdown structure (WBS) is a breakdown of the project to smaller parts or components for deliverable oriented. It is a term related to project management and systems engineering.

    It is a simplifying tool for a particular task of the project.

    Following are the purpose of the work  breakdown structure:

    1. To recognise the distinct nature of large activity or project
    2. Used for estimating the cost and time required for a project
    3. Control and monitor the tasks
    4. Used for controlling and give unique Identity to each task.

    Following are types of WBS:

    1. Phase Oriented WBS
    2. Deliverable oriented WBS

    Following are some effective guidelines for WBS

    1. The internal in trim and external work of the project should be identified and must all the deliverables that have to be completed.
    2. Using a top-down approach in the project is divided into sub-projects and this continues until the task can be estimated. This approach is popular because of great accuracy.
    3. Level of details
    4. Symmetry absence.
    5. Details of level

    Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are other combinations like blue and white etc, but is there any specific reason for mostly using green and blue along with white?
