How does the specific gravity of a material is related to the strength of that material?

    If you mean in general, then no. The strength of any material doesn't depend on the specific gravity of that material, be it a solid or paste. Neither of the compressive, tensile or shear strength depends on density. For example, two grades of steel might have the same specific gravity but very diffRead more

    If you mean in general, then no. The strength of any material doesn’t depend on the specific gravity of that material, be it a solid or paste.

    Neither of the compressive, tensile or shear strength depends on density. For example, two grades of steel might have the same specific gravity but very different strengths. Cast iron is stronger in compression and wrought iron in tension despite the same densities. You can design two concrete mixes with the same densities and compare the strengths to check yourself!

    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.

    1. Elevation of water should be in such a manner that the water will flow under the gravity force.
    2. All the construction materials should be available in the surrounding area.
    3. Diversion head should be near the irrigation for irrigating area as possible and for keeping minimum canal length.

    Groundwater Inflow due to

    • Infiltration of rain water
    • Ground water flow
    • Surrounding seepage

    • Due to irrigation pumping
    • Due to evaporation and transpiration
    • Groundwater meet to sea water
    • Groundwater passed to string and it lost.

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 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.
