Design and Fabrication of Trammel Balls
Abstract: Transportation of water plays a vital role in the survival of a growing population. If the scarcity of water is one major issue, transportation of water using tankers have their own share. Water in a partially filled container, when induced with external energy (motion), generates slosh and surge. Both slosh and surge effects work as a resistive factor during transportation. To eliminate the same, few holes are drilled at pre-desired …

Assessment of Dam
Abstract: Stability of slope is the dominant parameter for construction of Dam. Slope gives bottom width. Morebottom width gives stability of dam. Normally, the bottom width of dam is taken as twice times of topwidth of dam (at least). Since maximum thrust of water is acting at bottom of dam (wh), where w = Unitweight of water (1000 Kg/m3), h = depth of water in meter, hence bottom width is taken …

Vacuum Dewatering During Concreting: Modern Construction Method
Abstract: In the RCC construction, water–cement ratio is detrimental for concrete. We always try to restrict the water–cement ratio because we want structure achieve its higher strength rather it is necessary for structure life. For the chemical reaction which is generated in cement and water, water–cement ratio of less than 0.38, whereas the adopted water–cement ratio is much more than that mainly because of the requirement of workability. After the requirement …
