Methods of Control of Flood
Controlling floods involves implementing various measures and strategies to mitigate the impact of flood events. Here are some common methods for flood control: Watershed Management and Afforestation, Construction of Dams and Reservoirs, Channelization and River Training, Drainage System Improvement, Floodplain Management and Zoning
Types of Aqueducts Based on Design, Materials, Functions
Aqueducts and Siphon aqueducts can be classified into different types based on various factors such as their design, construction, materials used, or specific features. Here is a general overview of the classification of aqueducts and siphon aqueducts based on some common factors:What is LRFD? How Load and Resistance Factor Design Works?
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is a design methodology used in structural engineering to ensure the safety and reliability of structures. It is an alternative to the traditional Allowable Stress Design (ASD) approach. LRFD is widely adopted in many countries, including the United States.Limit States in Structural Engineering: Deflection, Fatigue, Shear etc.
A limit state in structural engineering refers to a condition or state at which a structural system or component can no longer perform its intended function safely and efficiently. It is the point beyond which the structure or component is considered to have reached its design limit and may no longer be capable of carrying the
Types of Loads in a Building
Types of Loads refer to the various forces and pressures that act on structures. These loads play a crucial role in the design and analysis of buildings, bridges, and other engineering structures. Here are brief explanations of different types of loads:
