    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.

    Here, consider lens or mirror at the origin. Now, all the distances measured in the direction of incident rays are positive and distances measured in the direction opposite to the direction of incident rays are negative. All distances have to be measured from the lens or mirror. For example object distance measured from lens or mirror is measured in the direction opposite to direction of incident rays hence, in these case object distance u is negative. The paraxial parallel rays are focused on the right hand side of convex lens. See, this distance f is measured in the direction of incident rays . Hence, focal length of convex lens is positive. But, we can see that focal length of concave mirror is negative. It’s radius of curvature is also negative. The radius of curvature of first surface of convex lens is positive, but radius of curvature of it’s second surface is negative. You can see that radius of curvature and focal length of concave mirror are negative.

    The reason for the kickoff meeting is to officially notify all partners that the project has started and ensured everybody has a typical comprehension of the undertaking and his job. The kickoff meeting is a chance to get all the colleagues, clients, and stakeholders together and officially set up for the beginning of the project. Like every official meeting, there ought to be a plan. There are various explicit things you need to cover at this meeting:

    • Introduce the people at the meeting.
    • Recap the information in the Project Charter, including:
      • The purpose of the project
      • Scope
      • Major deliverables
      • Risks
      • Assumptions
      • Estimated effort and budget
      • Deadline

    Examine the significant jobs and duties of the undertaking group, clients, and stakeholders. Many, if not the entirety of the individuals that will take a shot at the undertaking, ought to be in attendance.

    Go over the general methodology and course of events of the venture. This gives individuals a sense of how the undertaking will unfold. Specifically, you will need to guarantee that individuals comprehend what they should do in the present moment to help the undertaking.

    Talk about and answer any exceptional inquiries. The reason for the conversation isn’t to reiterate the motivation behind the venture, however, to permit individuals to voice specific queries or concerns they have as the task starts.

    Affirm that the task is currently in progress. On the off chance that the undertaking has not begun at this point, it should now be prepared to start right away.

    Different things to consider in the kickoff meeting include:

    Participants. By and large, the undertaking group, clients, and stakeholders ought to be in participation. If these outcomes in such a large number of individuals for comfort, you can consider having just the significant players join in. You would then be able to meet with others in resulting smaller than usual kickoff meetings, or you can send the meaningful meeting data to the individuals who couldn’t join in.

    Length. Although most kickoff meetings can be directed in an hour or two, others may require a day or two. The longer kickoff meetings are particularly significant if the undertaking is extremely perplexing or dubious. Now and again, a long kickoff meeting might be valuable as an approach to assemble starting prerequisites, although that would not be the primary role.

    Preparation. It is said you never have another opportunity to establish a decent first connection. This is valid with the kickoff meeting. You are utilizing the meeting to help set desires for the undertaking. If the meeting is unorganized, chaotic, or a waste of time, the members will likely convey those discernments into the task also. The task director needs to ensure that he has arranged well for this meeting and that it goes easily. The undertaking administrator ought to likewise converse with the support early and settle on sure that they are in concurrence with how the meeting will advance.

    Gravity dam, as the name suggests, is a dam that resists the water upstream by the use of its weight itself, unlike earthen dams and embankment dams that employ the shear strength of the soil.

    The dam is designed so that the resultant of the water pressure, earth pressure, and all other forces are aligned and balanced by the weight of the dam itself.

    They are generally made of Roller compacted concrete.

    The Golden Ratio is an irrational number with never-ending infinite numbers of digits, 1.618033988749895…, which are highly confusing and misleading. It is a linear number and represents only two dimensions of the object.

    Drawing It

    Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio:

    • Draw a square (of size “1”)
    • Place a dot half way along one side
    • Draw a line from that point to an opposite corner (it will be √5/2 in length)
    • Turn that line so that it runs along the square’s side

    Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio.

    MB (measurement book) is the book of measurement in which government authorities or organizations can take the actual measurement of work completed by the contractors. MB is the main heart of the government. The measurement written in MB book is 100% correct.
