Inspection is missing in our country to large extent.
In the past, In India I have come across boiler inspectors come inspect boiler installations on a power plant.
In real estate government authorities perform inspections before issuing Completion Certificate or Occupancy Certificate.
In Middle East it is mandatory for every project the obtain clearance certificates Civil Defence before project facilties are put to use. Most importantly Civil defence inspects the facilities for working of fire protections systems.
Hope this helps

CB Sowmya
The disadvantages are as follows Skilled labors are required to design the piles Prestressed structure is made up of high strength materials hence higher are the losses due to shrinkage. They are costlier than normal construction In the process of prestressing, additional equipments such as jacks arRead more
The disadvantages are as follows
Prestressed piles are cast in the factory or yard and then installed in a site. Since they are precast, they have the disadvantages associated with the precast technology.

CB Sowmya
If it is a hard strata, isolated footings would be sufficient. However, to withstand the seismic forces, all the isolated footings must be connected with one another using a tie beam. This tie beam can resist the differential movement in strata due to the seismic loads. If it is a soft strata, thenRead more
If it is a hard strata, isolated footings would be sufficient. However, to withstand the seismic forces, all the isolated footings must be connected with one another using a tie beam. This tie beam can resist the differential movement in strata due to the seismic loads.
If it is a soft strata, then a raft foundation or pile foundation is necessary. But both pile foundation and raft foundation cannot counteract the effect of liquefaction. If the soil is found to be susceptible to liquefaction, then proper ground improvement methods should be followed before the construction of the foundation.
Various ground improvement techniques can be found here.

Ajinkya Morey
Construction industry a great boost in the economy as it pays the high tax to the government. Survey says that the construction industry has contributed an estimated ₹670,778 crores to the national GDP at factor cost in 2011–12. So as we see the growth of the economy depends on construction industry

Air has mass (from molecules) and in motion has dynamic energy, which is converted to pressure as the body tries to stop or slow down, is called as dynamic pressure. Generally measured in the tube (pitot) and also comprises static pressure at that pt too.

Preet Chovatiya
Vena contract is the point in flowing fluid at where the pressure energy is minimum and kinetic energy is maximum. This phenomenon happens because of the fluid streamline can't change its direction abruptly. Streamline can't follow Sharpe angles so vena contract forms.
