Why do we mostly use green and white colored GI sheets for roofing and side cladding of industrial sheds? Why are there no other color combinations?

    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?

    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.

    If a building foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed. Assuming, however that the soil beneath a structure is firm and solid, engineers can greatly improve how the building foundation system will respond to seismic waves.

    Another solution refers to base isolation which involves floating a building above its foundation on a system of bearings, springs or padded cylinders.

Would it be possible to reduce embankment settlement at the embankment / abutment interface by injecting lime deep into the underlying foundation ground, a deep soft delta formation? I am thinking of injecting the lime using high pressure compressed air. ...

    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.

    Dear students,

    Definition :

    High rise building is that type of building which is taller than 15m height which people can willing to walk up and it also requires mechanically operated vertical Transportation systems.

    No. of Floors in high rise building= greater than four (i.e. G + 3 Floors)

    Electrical system :

    The electrical system provided in high rise building depends on the utility of that building.

    High Voltage wire is required for commercial building and it is considered hazardous.

    The machine has its own fuse, there will be wire ways included in the floor slab.

    Various types of electrical works carried out in high rise building:

    • Fixing a standby diesel generator
    • Each consumer has to be protected by a provision of an Earth leakage circuit breaker(ELCB)  to safeguard the persons against electrical shocks.
    • All power sockets need to be earthed through an earth conductor and finally connected to ground pits.
    • Solar power for high rise building is essential to fulfilling all requirements and reduces electricity consumption.
    • Enhances energy conservation
    • New technology:

                  integrated building                      management system(IBMS)

    1. Can monitor and control fire.
    2. It has a security module for access control
    3. Elevator control

    • In this, water is applied through series of long, narrow, field channels called Furrows.
    • Small furrows called corrugations.
    • Water flowing through furrows infiltrates into the land/soil and spreads laterally to roots of plants.
    • Crops are grown on ridges, levees.
    • Evaporation losses reduces up to some extent.
    • Suitable for row crops such as maize. Longitudinal slope of furrow – 0.6 – 0.8%
