11. A concrete dam can be assumed to be trapezoidal in section having a top width of 2 m and bottom width of 10 m. Its height is 12 m and the upstream face has a batter of 1: 10. Give an analysis of the stability of the dam for the base section for overturning and sliding in the full reservoir condition assuming no free-board allowance but allowing for uplift pressures. Assume uplift intensity factor ast 100%. Also determine the compressive stresses at the toe and the heel, and major principal and shear stress developed at the toe. Assume weight of concrete to be 24 kN/m³, unit shear strength of concrete
to be 1400 KN/m³, and the coefficient of friction between concrete and foundation soil to be 0.7.
12. The following data refer to the non-overflow section of a gravity dam:
R.L. of top of the dam
315 m.
R.L. of bottom of the dam
260 m
Full reservoir level
= 312 m
Top width of the dam
= 12 m.

This document provides an overview of key definitions and concepts from the Public Procurement Rules of Pakistan. It defines terms like bidder, blacklisted, corrupt practices, and most advantageous bid. It also summarizes various aspects of the procurement process under the rules, including planning, specification of requirements, approval mechanisms, advertising and notification, response time, pre-qualification of suppliers, and framework agreements. The document aims to outline the main principles, procedures and terminology related to public procurement as governed by the relevant rules and regulations in Pakistan.
This document discusses various aspects of contract management for construction projects including methods of work execution, types of contracts, and the tendering process. It describes executing work through amanat (directly by the owner) or through contracts. It outlines various types of contracts like lump sum, unit price, cost reimbursable, design-build, and BOOT/BOT. Finally, it explains the tendering process which involves preparation, tender notice, tender document, conditions of contract, prequalification, evaluation, and selection/award.
The document discusses different types of tenders for construction projects including open tenders, selected tenders, and negotiated tenders. An open tender invites bids from the public to promote competition and obtain the most advantageous terms for the client. A selected tender limits bidding to a small number of pre-qualified contractors, suitable when specialization is required. A negotiated tender directly contracts with one or two contractors without competition, which can be useful when timeliness is critical over cost.
This document outlines an assignment for a practical scenario involving the construction of a district cooling plant project in the UAE.

It then lists the requirements for the assignment, including describing the basis for contract selection, aspects of design liability, risk apportionment, potential unforeseen problems, and dispute resolution techniques. Guidance is provided on referencing legal principles and contract clauses. The maximum length for the response is 2,000 words.
1. The document defines procurement of goods as machinery, vehicles, equipment, and other commodities required by a government entity to carry out its duties.
2. It provides procedures for procurement from issuing a tender notice to awarding contracts according to the KTPP Act and Rules, with exceptions for projects funded by international agencies or covered by international agreements.
3. Key aspects of the tender process include issuing a notice with details like item description, bid submission deadline, opening date, and validity period; receiving and evaluating bids; and awarding contracts.
The document describes various alternative procurement methods that can be used when international competitive bidding is not the most suitable option. It discusses limited international bidding, national competitive bidding, shopping, direct contracting, force account, procurement from specialized agencies, use of procurement agents, and inspection agents. For each method, it provides details on how and when the method can be used and what procedures should be followed. The overall purpose is to outline procurement options and guidelines for procuring goods, works and services using ADB funds.

Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.
Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
