The hydrological cycle is also known as the water cycle, in this cycle water evaporates from the land and ocean however the precipitation goes back to the land surface. The three major processes in the hydrological cycle are precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.

And, Precipitation = Evaporation + Runoff

Additional Information There are four main parts to the water cycle: Evaporation, Convection, Precipitation, and Collection.

1) Evaporation

• Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air.

2) Convection

• Convection in the water cycle is when the air near the surface is heated, then rises taking heat with it. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is called condensation.

3) Precipitation

• Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or snow.

4) Collection/Storage

• A lot of the Earth's water does not take part in the water cycle very often. Much of it is stored. The Earth stores water in a number of places. The ocean is the largest storage of water. Around 96% of the Earth's water is stored in the ocean.

Concepts:

The various types of defects in Timber are depicted below:

1. Knots:

These are the bases of branches or limbs which are broken or cut off from the tree. The portion from which the branch is removed receives nourishment from the stem for a pretty long time and it ultimately results in the formation of dark hard rings which are known as knots.

2. Rind galls:

The rind means bark and the gall indicates abnormal growth. Hence peculiarly curved swellings found on the body of a tree are known as the rind galls

3. Shakes:

These are cracks that partly or completely separate the fibers of the wood.

4. Bow:

This defect is indicated by the curvature formed in the direction of length of timber.

5. Case-Hardening:

The exposed surface of timber dries very rapidly. It therefore shrinks and is under compression. The interior surface which has not completely dried is under tension. This defect is known as the case-hardening and it usually occurs in timbers which are placed at the bottom during seasoning.

6. Check:

A check is a crack which separates fibers of wood. It does not extend from one end to the other.

7. Honey - Combing:

Due to stresses developed during drying, the various radial and circular cracks develop in the interior portion of timber. The timber thus assumes the honey-comb texture and the defect so developed is known as the honey-combing.

Concept:

Contour:

Line joining points of the same elevation are called contour lines.

Contour Interval:

• A contour interval is a vertical distance or difference in elevation between contour lines.
• It is always kept the same or constant for a map.

The contour interval depends upon the following factors:

1. The scale of the map:

The contour interval normally varies inversely to the scale of the map i.e., if the scale of the map is large, the contour interval is considered to be small and vice versa.

2. Purpose of the map:

For a very important and detailed design, contour intervals should be kept small.

3. Nature of ground:

For flat ground, a small contour interval is chosen whereas, for undulating and broken ground, a greater contour interval is adopted.

4. Time & Cost:

If the contour interval is small, greater time and funds will be required in the field survey, in reduction, and in plotting the map. If the time and funds available are limited, the contour interval may be kept large.

5. Slope:

Contour interval ki directly proportional to the slope. Contour intervals for flat countries are generally small, e.g. 0.25 m, 0.5 m, 0.75 m, etc. Contour interval in hilly areas is generally greater, e.g. 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, etc

Concept:

A simply supported beam with span L and centered load P is,

RA + RB = P ---(1)

∑MB = 0

The BM will be maximum on the point at which shear force changes its sign.
So the value of bending moment at a distance x = L/2 is:

The shear strength of reinforced concrete with the reinforcement is restricted to some maximum value τcmax depending on the grade of concrete.

Table 20 of IS 456

Stipulates the maximum shear stress of reinforced concrete in beams τcmax as given below in Table. Under no circumstances, the nominal shear stress in beams τv shall exceed τcmax given in the table for different grades of concrete.

Water quality for different compounds As per l.S.10500 are as follows:

• The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.
• The rate at which mass enters the region = Rate at which mass leaves the region + Rate of accumulation of mass in the region
• The above statement can be expressed analytically in terms of velocity and density field of flow and the resulting expression is known as the equation of continuity or the continuity equation.

Important Points

• The continuity equation applies to all fluids, compressible and incompressible flow, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
• It expresses the law of conservation of mass at each point in a fluid and must, therefore, be satisfied at every point in a flow field.
• So, the continuity equation is connected with the conservation of mass and it can be applied to viscous/non-viscous, the compressibility of the fluid, or the steady/unsteady flow.

Area = b × d
Poisson ratio  = 1/m

Concept:

A counterfort retaining wall is a cantilever wall with counterforts, or buttresses, attached to the inside face of the wall to further resist lateral thrust. The use of this counter fort is to reduce the shear force, and the bending moment in the vertical steam of the slab.

Design of counterfort retaining wall:

In a counterfort retaining wall, the vertical slab is designed as a continuous slab and the heel slab is designed as a continuous slab because this will reduce joint efficiency hence an extra margin is created. But this will increase the cost also.

Concept:

A counterfort retaining wall is a cantilever wall with counterforts, or buttresses, attached to the inside face of the wall to further resist lateral thrust.

• In the counterfort retaining wall, the stem and the base and the base slab are tied together by counterforts, at suitable intervals
• Because of the provision of counterforts, the vertical stem, as well as the heel slab, acts as a continuous slab, in contrast to the cantilevers of cantilever retaining wall
• Counterforts are firmly attached to the face slab as well as the base slab; The earth pressure acting on the face slab is transferred to the counter forts which deflect as vertical cantilevers
• The back of the rear counter forts comes in tension and their front face is under compression
• Hence the inclined (back) face of rear counter forts should be provided with main reinforcement and in front counterforts, the tension develops at the bottom face so it is provided with main reinforcement
• Counterfort retaining walls are economical for height over about 6m

∴ In a counterfort retaining wall, the main reinforcement is provided on the bottom face in front counterfort and inclined face in back counterfort.

Concepts:

Brick Bonds is the interlacement of bricks when they laid immediately one below or above another. It is the method of arranging the bricks in a successive course so that, individual units are joined together and the vertical joints of successive courses do not rest in the same vertical line.

The following rules for getting a good brick bond should be adopted.

1. The bricks should be uniform in size. The length of the brick should be twice the width plus one joint so that a uniform lap is obtained.
2. A good bond is not possible if the lap is non-uniform. The amount of lap should be a minimum of 1/4 brick along the length of the wall and 1/2 brick across the thickness of the wall.
3. In alternate courses, the centerline of the header should coincide with the centerline of the stretcher, in the course below or above it.
4. The use of brickbats should be discouraged, except in special locations.
5. The vertical joints in the alternate courses should be along the same pretend.
6. It is preferable to provide every sixth course as a header course on both the side of the wall.

Concept:

Euler's Theory for buckling failure:

The swiss Mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1757 derived a formula for stability of long column, According to Euler's theory, long column fail in buckling only. This theory neglect the effect of direct stress induced in long column as compare to bending stress.

Euler's buckling load,

Where, P = Euler's critical load

I_min = Minimum moment of inertia

l_eff = Effective length of column

E = Youngs modulus of elasticity

Calculation:

Euler's buckling load,

Thus, E and l_eff remain same and so , P ∝ I_min

For circular column,

∴ Percentage reduction =

= = 34.39%

Percentage reduction ≈ 34.4%

Concept:-

Elongation of the uniform bar under uniaxial load -

According to Hooke's law:

σ = Ee

P/A = E × (ΔL/L)

or,

or,

P = Axial load, A = Area of cross-section,

σ = Stress in longitudinal direction, e = Longitudinal strain,

L = Original or Initial length, ΔL = Elongation

E = Young's Modulus of Elasticity.

Calculation:

Given:

P = 100 N, Initial length (L_i) = 5 m, Final length (L_f) = 5.5 m.

A = 1 cm² = 10^-4 m²

Now, Modulus of elasticity can be calculated as:

Elongation, ΔL = L_f - L_i = 5.5 - 5 = 0.5 m

Now put all values in the formula for getting Young's modulus

E = 10⁷ N/m²

Septic tank:

• Septic tank is a tank where sewage is kept for long time for sedimentation of suspended solids by anaerobic microorganisms activity.
• The tank is rectangular is shape, consisting of rooftop with 2 chambers separated by a baffle wall
• The first one is called grit chamber where the sewage enters and the rest is called anaerobic unit.
• Inlet and outlet pipe are fitted in such a manner that, ie while entering or exiting there should not be any unsettled influence in the sewage of anaerobic chamber
• Sand, grit etc is settled in the grit chamber before the sewage is directed to the anaerobic section. In anaerobic chamber natural solids settle at the base of the tank, where anaerobic bacteria converts complex mixes into simple and stable mixes, which does not create any nuisance when disposed

Concept:

Uplift pressure:

(i) Uplift pressure (or forces) occurs due to internal hydraulic pressure in pores, cracks and seams with in the body of a dam at the contact between the dam and its foundation, and within the foundation.
(ii) Seeping water exerts pressure and must be accounted for stability calculations.
(iii) The distribution of internal hydroststic pressure along a horizontal section through a gravity dam is asssumed to vary linearly from full reservoir pressure at the upstream face to zero or tail water pressure at the downstream face and to act over the entire area of the section.

USBR recommendation suggest the following:

• The uplift pressure at heel = γ_wH
• Uplift pressure at toe = γ_wh
• Uplift pressure at drainage gallery =

Calculation:

Given,
H = 56 m, h = 8 m

Uplift pressure at

• When in a well the pump is just started, it starts drawing out water from the well, and the level of water in the well decreases. The water table gets lowered and forms a conical depression as shown in the figure below.
• As long as the pump is not in operation, the water in the well remains at steady at a level, at that of the water table
• As pumping continues, the water table gets lowered further until it becomes steady. At this position, the water surface is called the draw-down curve.
• As we move farther away from the center of the well, the drawdown gets reduced, and beyond a certain distance, called the radius of influence, the drawdown will be equal to zero and the water surface coincides with the original water table.

The relationship between void ratio and porosity are as follows:

Concept:

Generated traffic:

• It is the additional peak-period vehicle traffic that results from a road improvement, particularly urban roadway expansions.
• Congested roads cause people to defer trips that are not urgent, choose alternative destinations and modes, and forego avoidable trips.
• Generated traffic consists of diverted travel (shifts in time and route) and induced travel (increased total motor vehicle travel).

Generated traffic growth:

• An increase in traffic volume due to an increase in transport vehicles is called Generated traffic growth.

Normal traffic growth:

• It is the traffic on the new track.

Low Heat Cement
