    Arch Dam ; Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span.

    Arch Dam ;

    Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span. The body of arch dam is generally made of cement concrete. Thus, arch dam is just a curved beam, the ends of which are restrained and the way in which the loads are resisted is termed a arch action.

     

    Buttress Dam ;

    A buttress dam or hollow dam with a solid, water-tight upstream side that is supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses or supports. A buttress dam envisages to reduce the total volume of concrete by constricting the material where the stresses are higher and other undesirable features of gravity dam but has higher cement content per cubic metre of concrete than a gravity dam.

    Tensile test is done on cylinder because only cylinders can be held under pure tension by applying a compressive load. That will only happen if it was under pure tension. If we take any other prismatic shape such as square cross section cylinder, the failure will be via compression but not tension.

    If we talk about malleability and ductility both are connected or related. A malleable material is one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering or rolling.

Practically, a ductile material is a material that can easily be stretched into a wire when pulled.

    Demolition is defined as simply the safe and careful removal of existing buildings & structures in order to utilise the land for another use.

    The several methods for the demolition of any structure are as follows ;

    • Total Demolition : It refers to the demolition of an entire building or structure. In case of community re-structure, this is the most common method.
    • Interior Demolition : This method refers to the demolition of interior part of the building, while protecting and maintaining the exterior structure. For example; partition walls, ceilings, etc. This method is one of the great option for creating more space inside the building by removing the troubling areas.
    • Selective Demolition : This method refers to the removing of specific parts of the building. In case if there is a old building which is not performing as it should & the entire building is not a state of concern. Or perhaps it is a listed building, therefore it may be restricted as to what and how much you can demolish. So you could select a particular section of a building to demolish and build up from scratch.

    Difference between architecture and civil engineering:

     Here I am discussing major differences between architecture and civil engineering, they are as follows:

    1) When we talk about duration of course, then

    • Civil engineering- 4 years
    • Architecture- 5 years

    2) Responsibility:

    •  civil engineer: construction of road bridges and tunnels buildings Railway’s airport’s underpasses, etc.
    • Architect: design buildings, monuments, bridges with a more aesthetical view.

    3) Most important parameter:

    • Civil engineer: the strength of the structure is a more important aspect for civil engineer
    • Architect: an architect give more importance to an aesthetical appearance of the structure

    4) Eligibility criteria:

    • Civil engineering: HSC (physics, chemistry and maths subject) with at least 50% marks and IIT, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted each year for the admission of civil engineering course.
    • Architecture: HSC( physics, chemistry, math) with at least 50% marks and NATA, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted for admission to architecture course.

    5) Focused Area:

    • Civil engineering- civil engineering field is mainly dealing with the mathematical and scientific aspects of the structure. construction and design, parameters are included in civil engineering
    • Architecture- architecture deals with the down look and artistic aspect of designing a building
