Boulder toe, toe drains, and horizontal filter are provided in earthen dams to enhance stability and prevent erosion.
Boulder toe is placed at the base of the dam to protect against erosion from water flow.
Toe drains help in lowering the water table near the downstream toe of the dam, reducing uplift pressure.
Horizontal filters are used to prevent piping within the dam structure by allowing water to flow through while r
Balancing depth in canal refers to maintaining a uniform depth of water throughout the canal to ensure proper flow and prevent flooding.
Balancing depth is achieved by adjusting the cross-sectional area of the canal to match the required flow rate.
It involves designing the canal with the appropriate slope and dimensions to prevent water from pooling or flowing too quickly.
Proper balancing depth helps in efficient water ...
Water ratio in cement concrete mix is crucial for workability, strength, and durability of the concrete.
Water ratio affects the workability of the concrete mix - too much water can make it too fluid and difficult to work with, while too little water can make it too stiff.
The water-cement ratio also influences the strength and durability of the concrete - a lower water-cement ratio generally results in higher strength a...

Standard thickness of inner and outer plaster in buildings varies depending on the type of construction and location.
Standard thickness of inner plaster is usually around 12mm to 15mm.
Standard thickness of outer plaster is typically around 20mm to 25mm.
Thickness may vary based on factors such as building material, climate, and structural requirements.
In earthquake-prone areas, thicker plaster may be used for added stre

To find an even length palindrome in a string in O(n), we can use the two-pointer approach.
Initialize two pointers at the center of the string.
Expand the pointers outwards while checking if the characters at both pointers are equal.
If they are not equal, return the previous substring as the even length palindrome.
If the pointers reach the end of the string, return the entire string as the even length palindrome.
