    Vena contracta is the point in a fluid stream where the diameter of the stream is the least and fluid velocity is at its maximum, such as in the case of the stream issuing out of a nozzle. It is a place where cross section area is minimum.

    The curve number method is an adaptable and widely used for runoff estimation. This method is important properties of the watershed, specifically soil permeability, land use and antecedent soil water conditions which take into consideration. Thus, straightforward methods of calculating runoff can tell you the amount of water that storms bring to the earth. For a given surface area such as a roof or yard, multiply the area by the inches of rainfall and divide by 231 to obtain the runoff in gallons.

    Lime stabilization with deep injection :

    yes definitely it is possible that the embankment settlement can be reduced at embankment junction by lime stabilization with deep injection

    The process of injecting a lime slurry into the subsurface up to some depth of some feet it is one of the innovative and comparatively very good technique for an engineer as well as for labour.

    The main purpose of constructing climb up to some depth is to fill voids with a chemical compound

    Thank you.

What are the advantages of optical reading theodolites over ordinary theodolites? Also, mention types of optical reading theodolite?

    Theodolites with optical instruments have advantage over other layout tools. They have more precise measurements, they are unaffected by wind or other weather factors, and they can be used on both flat ground and sloped ground.

    Generally, for measurement of infiltration on the field we use the Cylindrical Infiltrometer of diameter 30 cm and 60 cm. Basic infiltration rate for a different type of soil are as below: If the infiltration rate is 1-5 mm/hour that it is Clay. If the infiltration rate is 5-10 mm/hour that it is ClRead more

    3. If the infiltration rate is 10-20 mm/hour that it is Loam.
    4. If the infiltration rate is 20-30 mm/hour that it is Sandy Loam.
    5. If the infiltration rate is greater than 30 mm/hour that it is Sand.

    Digital elevation models are digital representations of x, y, and z locations of points on the surface area of a terrain. These locations are acquired either from a GPS receiver, survey instruments, or aerial or satellite stereo photography depending on the spatial accuracy needed.

    These digital files of x, y, and z locations are used by the algorithms in a GIS software to transform into either three-dimensional surfaces or elevation contours. It is the GIS software that makes use of this “spatial data.” The output of these algorithms are used for further analyses and calculations.

    These could be; calculating cut and fill off of the land under study, 3D visualization of a terrain, watershed and viewshed analyses, and many other civil engineering, infrastructure, architectural and even video games, defense and intelligence-related applications and uses.

    Hope this helps.
