What is Local Attraction in Surveying? - Civil Engineering

Surveying involves the measurement of lot of readings. Local attraction is one of the important concept of surveying. Bearings of lines are measured and they depends on magnetic meridian which gets affected by magnetic forces at site. So, calculations need to be done separately to rectify the readings of bearings. Without a further delay, let's how all these calculations can be done properly so as obtained correct readings of bearings of line. What is Local Attraction? A magnetic meridian at a place is established by a magnetic needle which is uninfluenced by other attracting forces. Some of the sources of this effect are: magnetite in the ground, wire carrying electric current, steel structures, railroad rails, underground iron pipes, keys, steel-bowed spectacles, metal buttons, axes, chains, steel tapes etc.​ The local attraction at a particular place can be detected by observing the fore and back bearings of each line and finding its difference.​ If Differen

What are Lintels? Types and Uses of Lintels in Building Construction

Lintels is a horizontal member which is placed across the openings to bear the load of above structure. In a building construction, there are windows or doors for which some space needs to be left. Above that space we can't directly put bricks and Hence, these are used whose some portion lies on sideways bricks and then, it helps to distribute loads. Firstly, be clear that lintels are different from beams . A beam carries the load from slab and transfers it to columns to footing and then, finally to soil. But, lintels carries support of wall above it and then, transfers to adjacent wall portions. What does opening corresponds to? During, openings are left in wall due to doors, windows, cupboards, wardrobes, etc. Lintel on these openings supports the portion of wall situated above the openings and transmit the loads to adjacent wall portions. History of Lintels In classical western construction methods, a lintel is a load-bearing member and is placed over

Surveying in Civil Engineering

Surveying is one of the most important aspect of civil engineering. It involves the assessment of site and recording details about land. Measurement of angles, vertical and horizontal distance between points all these data help us to plan construction projects. The main principle of surveying is working from whole to part i.e., It is very essential to establish first a system of control points and to fix them with higher precision. Minor control points can then be established by less precise methods and the details can then be located using these minor control points by running minor traverses etc . It is for the prevention the accumulation of errors and to control and localize minor errors. Surveying is a method to determine relative position between two points on, above or beneath the earth surface and it also includes the art of establishing by predetermined angular and linear measurements. Levelling is a branch of surveying in which elevations of points are

RXCE color prediction and review - All you need to know

Hello friends, welcome to News on Crunch . Here we are back with a review of RXCE and all the other things you need to know about it. Everyday, thousands of websites are made on google but not all websites can be genuine to customers. There are various color predictions websites which came in past but none of them were genuine.

 As we heading towards the end of 2020, similar to every year NTA is planning to do some tweaks to JEE Mains 2021 exam pattern to make it more smooth and beneficial for aspirants. JEE Mains 2021 Different patterns, types and exam slots are discussed by NTA members. Already, twice the exams have been postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. So, Some important points regarding exams are discussed below: JEE Mains 2021 Important points: Will JEE Mains be conducted four times starting 2021 ? Yes, JEE Mains will be conducted four times in 2021. The Union ministry of education has proposed to take JEE Mains four times in computer mode. So, as to provide flexibility to students that they can attempt one/two/three/four times. The exam will start from February month and continue till May 2021. Among, all four attempts best will be considered for their rank. According to NTA, this all been done to provide flexibility and reduce stress among candidates. What will be the pattern of

Neoprene Pads: Bearings in bridges

Neoprene pads are special types of bridge bearings. Currently, they are used in many of the bridge construction. Because of they have elastomeric property, low maintenance cost, etc. and also many more properties. All you will get to know further in this post. To understand further, first let's discuss on components of Bridges: Components of Bridges Main structural components of a bridge: Deck (with surface and parapet) Girders / Beams Bearings Pier cap Piers and structures Pier base / foundation (piles and pile cap) Bridge Bearings Functions: Transfer forces from bridge superstructure to substructure Gravity Loads (self weight and vehicle load) Lateral Loads (earthquake and wind forces) It allows movements (translation and rotation) in between girders and pier cap. Due to its rubber like structure it loses its energy through deformations. It simplify the load transfer mechanism, such that it can be easily analysed. Bridge Bearings Types of
