The procedure to start an earthen dam involves site selection, design, construction, and maintenance.
Site selection involves identifying a suitable location with adequate soil and water resources.
Design involves determining the dam's height, width, and slope, as well as spillway and outlet structures.
Construction involves excavating the foundation, building the embankment, and installing spillway and outlet struct...
Minimum setting time of cement is the shortest time required for cement to harden and develop strength.
Minimum setting time varies depending on the type of cement and environmental conditions.
For example, ordinary Portland cement typically has a minimum setting time of 30 minutes.
Factors affecting setting time include temperature, water-cement ratio, and presence of additives.
Setting time can be tested using Vicat...
Theodolite is an instrument used in surveying to measure horizontal and vertical angles.
Theodolite is used to measure angles in both horizontal and vertical planes.
It consists of a telescope mounted on a base with graduated circles for precise measurements.
Theodolite is commonly used in construction, mapping, and land surveying.
Other instruments used in surveying include total stations, levels, and GPS receivers.
Initial setting time of concrete is the time taken by the concrete to reach a particular degree of stiffness.
It is the time taken by the concrete to set and harden.
It is usually measured in hours and minutes.
The initial setting time of concrete is affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, and the type of cement used.
Bottom width of the dam is the width of the base of the dam at its lowest point.
Bottom width is an important factor in determining the stability of the dam.
It is usually wider than the top width to provide a stable foundation.
The width varies depending on the height and type of dam.
For example, a concrete gravity dam may have a bottom width of 1/4 to 1/3 of its height.
A rockfill dam may have a bottom width of 1/2 ...
The weight of a steel bar can be calculated using the formula: weight = volume x density
Calculate the volume of the steel bar using the formula: volume = πr^2h
Determine the density of steel, which is typically around 7850 kg/m^3
Calculate the weight using the formula: weight = volume x density
Substitute the values of radius (6 mm), length (12 meters), and density into the formula to find the weight
The development length of steel can be calculated using the formula specified in the relevant design code.
The development length of steel is calculated based on the bond strength between the steel reinforcement and the concrete.
The formula for calculating the development length is typically provided in the design code being used, such as ACI 318 for American standards or Eurocode 2 for European standards.
