    Pile foundation and raft foundation is used for a high rise structure.

    Pile foundations are more capable of taking higher loads than spread footings.

     

    When allowable bearing pressure is low, the heavy structure is present & the site is with a highly compressible layer; then raft foundation is applicable.

    Thank You.

    Arch Dam ; Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span. The body of arch dam is generally made of cement concrete. Thus, arch dam is just a curved beam, the ends of which are restrained and the way in which the loadsRead more

    Arch Dam ;

    Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span. The body of arch dam is generally made of cement concrete. Thus, arch dam is just a curved beam, the ends of which are restrained and the way in which the loads are resisted is termed a arch action.

     

    Buttress Dam ;

    A buttress dam or hollow dam with a solid, water-tight upstream side that is supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses or supports. A buttress dam envisages to reduce the total volume of concrete by constricting the material where the stresses are higher and other undesirable features of gravity dam but has higher cement content per cubic metre of concrete than a gravity dam.

    In technical terms, Above the Water table, Pressure exerted by water on retaining wall = 0.5 K.H^2 K = coefficient of earth pressure H= vertical height of wall. Total stress = effective stress + pore water pressure. Earth pressure due to soil: Total stress = effective stress.  

    In technical terms,

    Above the Water table,

    Pressure exerted by water on retaining wall = 0.5 K.H^2

    K = coefficient of earth pressure

    H= vertical height of wall.

    Total stress = effective stress + pore water pressure.

    Earth pressure due to soil:

    Total stress = effective stress.

    Stressed Ribbon Bridge :

    In a very simple way, I am discussing stress Ribbon Bridge. Have a look!

    Meaning of stressed Ribbon Bridge :

    • Stress simply related to tension and hence stressed Ribbon Bridge is tension structure
    • Suspension cables are present in stressed Ribbon Bridge.
    •  Due to ribbon stiffness gives to the structure.

    Examples of stress Ribbon Bridge :

    here I am discussing actual examples of stressed Ribbon Bridge, they are as follows;

    • Lake Hodges Pedestrian Bridge
    • Leonel Viera Bridge
    • Phyllis J. Tilley Memorial Bridge
    • Rogue river pedestrian Bridge
    • Terwilliger Park foot Bridge

    When the base of the object is inaccessible we use an indirect method of surveying.

    A tachometer is used to measure the distance between the two points with the use of an analytical lens. There are two methods

    1. Stadia method: In this method diaphragm of the tachometer are provided with two stadia hair .the difference between staff intercept gives stadia reading.
    2. Tangential Method: in this method, the tachometer is not provided with stadia hairs, the reading is taken by single horizontal hair.

    D=(f/L)S + (f + d)

    D=horizontal distance between tachometer and stadia rod.

    f/L = multiplying constant

    S= Staff Intercept

    Elevation formula:

    v = KSsin(2©)/2 + Ccos(2©)

    © = Theta= Angle of elevation or depression.

    K & C = Tachometric Constant

    substance method and tangential method is also used to find the elevation between two points.

    While GPS is a global navigation satellite system that gives us time, velocity, location, etc,. The main objective is the accuracy in Position on the earth.GPS works through a technique called trilateration, which collects information to output the information.
