What are the main objects of the seasoning of timber?
DevilAVRT
SEASONING OF TIMBER Fresh timber contains about 50% or more of its own dry weight as water. The water is to be removed before it used for engineering purposes. In other words, timber should be dried. The process of drying of timber is known as seasoning of Timber. The moisture content should be remoRead more
SEASONING OF TIMBER
OBJECTS OF SEASONING
- To impart hardness, stiffness, strength and better electrical resistance to timber.
- To maintain the shape and size of the components of the timber articles, which are expected to remain unchanged in form.
- To decrease the weight of timber and their by to reduce the cost of transportation.
- To make timber easily workable and to facilitate operations during conversions.
- To make timber suitable for receiving treatment of paints, preservatives, varnishes etc.
- To make timber safe from the act of fungi and insects.
- To make suitable for joinery works.
- To reduce the tendency of timber to crack, shrink and warp.

As we all know, Geodetic surveying and Plane surveying comes under the primary classification of surveying.
Geodetic surveying
In geodetic surveying, the curvature of the earth is taken into account while taking surveying. In this surveying conducted a larger area. Geodetic surveying is mainly conducted to determine the precise positions on the earth surface. It is also called as Trigonometrical surveying.
Plane Surveying
In-plane surveying, the curvature of the earth is ignored because surveying is conducted in small areas. The degree of accuracy is low as compared to Geodetic surveying.
See lessWhat is Contour Farming?In which type of soil contour farming is suitable?
Preet Chovatiya
Contour farming is a method to absorb the impact of heavy rainfall or we can also say that it us a method in which the land is divided in to strips at constant level to store rain water to reduce loss of soil surface. It is used in stripe cropping, terracing and water diversion.

Preet Chovatiya
The following ways can help to remove or control silt at head work. 1. By installing silt excluder you can control or remove silt easily. 2. Provide a divide wall at the side of canal in river to create trap or pocket for controlling silt. 3. By making smooth flow we should have to avoid unsteady flRead more
How can we measure the infiltration rate in the filed?
Preet Chovatiya
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

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

Preet Chovatiya
For deciding the location of headwork an irrigation system, you should have to follow points during the selection of location. Elevation of water should be in such a manner that the water will flow under the gravity force. All the construction materials should be available in the surrounding area. DRead more
For deciding the location of headwork an irrigation system, you should have to follow points during the selection of location.
- Elevation of water should be in such a manner that the water will flow under the gravity force.
- All the construction materials should be available in the surrounding area.
- Diversion head should be near the irrigation for irrigating area as possible and for keeping minimum canal length.
