What is the difference between the modulus of rupture and flexural strength?

Hi, First, you need to know no that modulus of rupture is also known as a flexural strength or band strength or even transverse rupture strength. modulus of rupture is generally a measure of the tensile strength of beam and slab of concrete.

Hi,
First, you need to know no that modulus of rupture is also known as a flexural strength or band strength or even transverse rupture strength.
modulus of rupture is generally a measure of the tensile strength of beam and slab of concrete.
Following are some tests to determine the flexural strength
Refer Indian Standard code 456:2000 for various other tests to determine a modulus of rupture of beam or column.

Hi,
Let me correct your concept, in septic tank detention period off 24 hours is considered. In this case,
the rate of flow of influent= rate of flow of effluent.
Septic tank is to be designed in such a way that see wait is retained in the tank for 24 hours and all the biological decomposition in the absence of air that is an aerobic bacteria takes place and breaks the soil which living a very small quantity of soil which is commonly called as sludge which settles at the bottom. And the clearwater which out from the tank is known as effluent.
As you asked in question the 30 minutes is regarding the washing time of the tank.
Hope you get clarity.

Seasoning of brick is allowing the brick to absorb rainwater, keep the. Brick in sun and winter moisture outside. The absorbed moisture will react with the chemical in the brick and any swelling or deterioration is observed to weed out this damaged brick. Only sound bricks that are seasoned are usedRead more
Seasoning of brick is allowing the brick to absorb rainwater, keep the. Brick in sun and winter moisture outside. The absorbed moisture will react with the chemical in the brick and any swelling or deterioration is observed to weed out this damaged brick. Only sound bricks that are seasoned are used. Seasoning weed out bad bricks increasing the stability of brick work.

· Availability depends on weather conditions
· Clear & stable images
· Large area within each image
· Good historical data
· Clouds may hide ground features
· Fixed schedule
· Data may not be collected at critical times
· May need to sort through many images to obtain useful imfo.
Remote Sensing
Remote that means something which is not exactly in contact or in physical contact something which is far away. The far away could be something which is slightly away or even very far away & sensing the second word sensing means getting information getting data, getting any input the input could be something like temperature, pressure, a photograph.
o Possible to monitor any anthropogenic or natural changes in the landscape
