Concept explainers

Types of Concrete

Concrete is the fundamental material used in civil engineering such as building materials for building structures. Concrete is an aggregate mixture of cement, sand, and fine and coarse rock pieces. The cement acts as a binding material that holds the compositions together, sets, and hardens with time. Apart from cement, there are other different types of binding materials used, such as lime concrete, bitumen, asphalt, and so on.

Calculate for the liquid pressure experienced using the equation: P=pgh solve in GRESAJ format height = 7.10 feet Flood density is generally assumed to be 62.4 g/mL regardless of the amount of debris. Cement can withstand a pressure of ≈ 28728.2 Pa.
trapezoidal section constant velocity horizontal flow grit channel is discharging unacceptable amounts of grit into the primary facultative pond of a stabilization pond. In addition the channel overtops regularly with peak wet weather flow during normal rain storms. An initial investigation confirmed levels of grit present in the particular wastewater to be within normal loading levels. Furthermore, the provision for grit storage capacity in the channel is adequate for the operational cleaning-out cycle employed.According to the authorities, the likely cause of the grit discharge problem is that the channel length is inadequate for settling out the nominal particle size required.Assume 1. Average dry weather flow (ADWF) = 5000m3/day 2. Peak dry weather flow (PDWF) =13000 m3 /day 3. Peak wet weather flow (PWWF) = 15600 m3 /day 4. For settling out particles ≥ 0.20mm with a constant horizontal flow velocity of 0.3 m/s, the required channel length (L) is given by L=15d 5. The existing grit…
