    Biological oxygen demand(BOD):

    Biological oxygen demand is one of the clinical procedures which is used to determine the amount of dissolved oxygen which is needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to director organic material is present in given water samples and certain temperature for a specific period.

    Biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand are different processes.

    To assess the quantity of surface water for the biological oxygen demand test and other purposes then it is important to understand the characteristics of dissolved oxygen content in water and wastewater.

    Thank you

    Potential Groundwater Impacts of Dewatering

    ·        Contamination

    Dewatering can cause the advancement of hydraulic gradients that are additionally fundamental for drawing out water towards wells. Dewatering close to a site with a background marked by contamination in groundwater can bring out hydraulic gradients that can convey the dirtied groundwater towards the dewatering framework and cause contamination. By and large, polluted water requires filtration. To evade this issue, the best technique is to introduce screen dividers and vertically separate regions utilizing bentonite seals.

    ·        Geotechnical Damage

    Dewatering can make the ground lose coherence; the result leads to ground settling. If the ground settling is vast, it can harm close by building and structures. When groundwater is removed from the soil, it makes the soil pack and squeeze. It can likewise also caused by small soil & shallow grounds being removed with the groundwater through well.

    This effect can be diminished by a better plan and the utilization of good filtration and groundwater treatment that keep the particles from being separated.

    ·        Impacts on Water Features

    Things that depend on the water like rivers, lakes, and springs have a cozy relationship with groundwater and are, in this way, influenced by dewatering and groundwater control by prohibition. It is essential to keep in mind that groundwater and water-dependent things have eco-systems and fill in as territories. An unfriendly impact of these water bodies will have a huge -ve effect on the earth.

    ·        Water Resource Depletion

    When groundwater is removed for longer periods and in huge amounts for personal or commercial use, it can conceivably bring down groundwater levels and reduce yields. This exhaustion brings about a decrease in significant water assets for other people. An answer to this issue can be an artificial recharge method that infuses release from siphon water back in the ground.

    Conclusion

    It is crucial to perceive and decrease the effects of dewatering and groundwater control on the earth as dependable residents of the world. We should embrace great construction dewatering treatment system design, examination strategies, and better groundwater remediation innovation to alleviate these issues before it is past the point of no return.

    Difference between architecture and civil engineering:

     Here I am discussing major differences between architecture and civil engineering, they are as follows:

    1) When we talk about duration of course, then

    • Civil engineering- 4 years
    • Architecture- 5 years

    2) Responsibility:

    •  civil engineer: construction of road bridges and tunnels buildings Railway’s airport’s underpasses, etc.
    • Architect: design buildings, monuments, bridges with a more aesthetical view.

    3) Most important parameter:

    • Civil engineer: the strength of the structure is a more important aspect for civil engineer
    • Architect: an architect give more importance to an aesthetical appearance of the structure

    4) Eligibility criteria:

    • Civil engineering: HSC (physics, chemistry and maths subject) with at least 50% marks and IIT, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted each year for the admission of civil engineering course.
    • Architecture: HSC( physics, chemistry, math) with at least 50% marks and NATA, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted for admission to architecture course.

    5) Focused Area:

    • Civil engineering- civil engineering field is mainly dealing with the mathematical and scientific aspects of the structure. construction and design, parameters are included in civil engineering
    • Architecture- architecture deals with the down look and artistic aspect of designing a building

    Rotating Tower:

    Mechanism of rotating Tower:

    Mechanism of rotating Tower is very interesting to understand. 

    1)The whole steel structure is constructed with reference to Central Core and highly reinforced Foundation.

    2)Driving system- every flower in the rotating Tower can be rotated around the central Core which is connected by rails.

    3) Load cases: Different loads that are dead load life load wind load and earthquake loads are taken into account while designing the rotating Tower.

    4)Optimisation analysis: The stresses and deformation directly acting on the core of the rotating tower are very high.

    5)Alternative designs of the rotating tower:

    1. Alternative 1- Architects design
    2. Alternative 2- higher concrete grade
    3. Alternative 3- increased wall thickness
    4. Alternative 4- outrigger braced concrete Core
    5. Alternative 5- perimeter columns with Stiff floors

    6) Architect name:

    • RotatingTower is developed by the Italian architect David Fisher.

    7)  Shape of rotating Tower:

    • Because of the rotation of all floors can be possible independently, the building can transform into every different imaginable shape.

    8) Height of rotating Tower:

    • The original design of the rotating tower height is approximately 435 metre.

    9) Current need:

    • The current design of the stabilizing core of the rotating tower doesn’t intersect any essential need. Hence investigation of the structure according to the stiffness and strength is really very important parameter.

    10)Speciality of rotating Tower:

    • All the floors of the rotating tower can separately rotate with reference to the common axis located at the centre of the tower.
    • Rotating Tower is only one building in which it’s all floors can rotate 360-degree angle.
    • Every Apartment can spin individually in any direction

    Jamb and corbel are two different technical terms used in masonry.

    The difference in between jam and corbel are discussed below;

    1) Definition:

    • Jamb– A finished vertical sides of the opening of Window or door is called as a jamb.
    • corbel- A supporting a stone projecting outside from the wall is called a corbel.

    2) Function:

    • Jamb– jamb is provided at the recess to receive the frames of doors and frames of Windows
    • Corbel– corbel is provided to give support to joist, truss and weather shed.
    • Jamb has two types:
    1. Plane jamb
    2. Splayed jamb
    • Mostly Corbel is moulded to give ornamental treatment to the structure.
    • The corbel should be extended at least two-thirds of their length into the wall hence they can’t overturn out of the wall.

    The experimental results show that an optical fiber can be easily combined with concrete and that the POF could provide a steady light transmitting ratio. Moreover, the FBG can be used as a sensing element for strain and temperature.
