Most infants are ready to start solid foods around six months of age, according to recommendations from organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). However, the exact timing can vary since every baby develops at their own pace. Rather than focusing solely on...
New Self-Healing Concrete Self-healing concrete is an innovative advancement in construction materials that addresses the common issue of cracking in traditional concrete. The latest development in this field is the Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete, which incorporates bacteria into the concrete mix. This bacteria has the unique ability to produce limestone, effectively sealing...
Seepage Pressure Seepage pressure is a critical concept in soil mechanics, particularly when analyzing the behavior of saturated soils under the influence of water flow. It refers to the pressure exerted by water as it moves through soil pores, which can significantly affect the effective stress within the soil mass....
Introduction to Flow Nets A flow net is a crucial tool in geotechnical engineering, providing a graphical representation of the flow of water through soil masses. It consists of two main components: flow lines and equipotential lines. Flow lines illustrate the paths that water takes as it seeps through the...
The 2024 Indian general election, held from April 19 to June 1, 2024, was a monumental democratic exercise to elect all 543 members of the 18th Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of parliament. Conducted in seven phases, it was the world’s largest election, with over 968 million eligible voters—70% of...
Index Properties in Soil Mechanics Soil mechanics is a branch of civil engineering that deals with the behavior of soil under various conditions. Understanding the index properties of soil is crucial for identifying and classifying soils for engineering purposes. These properties help engineers predict how soils will behave under different...
Course Content Unit – I Direct and Bending Stresses in vertical members Introduction to axial and eccentric loads, eccentricity about one principal axis only, nature of stresses, Maximum and minimum stresses, resultant stresses and distribution diagram. Condition for no tension or zero stress at extreme fiber, Limit of...
Syllabus: Course Content: Unit – I Pressure measurement and Hydrostatic pressure Technical terms used in Hydraulics –fluid, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics – ideal and real fluid, application of hydraulics. Physical properties of fluid – density-specific volume, specific gravity, surface tension, capillarity, viscosity-Newton’s law of viscosity. ...
1.. Density or Mass density(ρ) : The density of a fluid is defined as the ratio of the mass of the fluid to its volume of fluid. Density is a crucial property that defines how much mass is packed into a given volume of a substance. It is expressed as the...
Lacey’s Silt Theory of Canals According to what I know, Lacey’s silt theory is a method for designing irrigation canals that considers the interaction between water flow and sediment transport. It was developed by G. Lacey in the early 20th century. Lacey’s silt theory is based on the idea that...
