What is Fly Levels in Surveying?
What are the advantages of using a steel tube rather than solid section steel?
Some of the advantages of using a steel tube rather than solid section steel are :- 1. Less Steel used so less cost. 2. Less Weight for a given design strength. 3. Less Weight for a given Length.

Which methods are used to compute ‘Runoff’ from a catchment?
The curve number method is an adaptable and widely used for runoff estimation. This method is important properties of the watershed, specifically soil permeability, land use and antecedent soil water conditions which take into consideration. Thus, straightforward methods of calculating runoff can teRead more
The curve number method is an adaptable and widely used for runoff estimation. This method is important properties of the watershed, specifically soil permeability, land use and antecedent soil water conditions which take into consideration. Thus, straightforward methods of calculating runoff can tell you the amount of water that storms bring to the earth. For a given surface area such as a roof or yard, multiply the area by the inches of rainfall and divide by 231 to obtain the runoff in gallons.

In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur and excess carbon are removed from the source iron and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon, and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.

See lessWhat is the percentage of carbon in wrought iron?
Wrought iron is a form of commercial iron containing less than 0.10% of carbon, less than 0.25% of impurities total of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and manganese, and less than 2% slag by weight. Wrought iron is redshort or hot short if it contains sulfur in excess quantity.

See lessWhat are the advantages of running electrical cables through PVC conduits in the walls over running in the slab? Are there any problems which may come up in the future if we run electrical cables conduits in the slab?
The main advantage, from my point of view, is that it may so happen that we may want to demolish a wall in the house for what so ever reason, but we can't dismantle or harm the slab since its a structural member. The second reason is that a slab may run continuously throughout the structure; hence wRead more
The main advantage, from my point of view, is that it may so happen that we may want to demolish a wall in the house for what so ever reason, but we can’t dismantle or harm the slab since its a structural member.
The second reason is that a slab may run continuously throughout the structure; hence we can lay straight cables throughout the structure and provide connection where ever required, but in case of walls, we may not find this convenient.
Also, if the walls are periphery or exterior walls, which may be directly exposed to rains, then it may cause Earthing issues.

Pozzolanic reaction is the reaction which continue to occur as long as calcium hydroxide is present, there is sufficient water for the reaction to occur, and there is available space for the reaction products to reside.
