It explains that progress reports update supervisors on the status of long-term projects, summarizing what has been, is being, and will be accomplished. Periodic activity reports summarize contributions over a specific time period. Progress meetings are held regularly during construction to discuss status updates, issues, costs, and next steps with contractors and clients. Meeting minutes are prepared and construction progress reports are provided to clients.
Record keeping is important for construction projects to document what occurred over the course of the project. This establishes a record that can be referred back to later for disputes or reviewing events. Good records also need to be kept for legal and contractual requirements. The type and extent of records depends on the project, but they should be dated, signed, and stored systematically. Record keeping helps control work, provide future data, and hand over important information to the client.

Khosla's theory improved upon Bligh's theory of seepage under hydraulic structures in several ways. Khosla recognized that seepage follows elliptical streamlines rather than the bottom contour as Bligh assumed. Khosla also introduced the important concept of exit gradient and specified that the exit gradient must be less than the critical value to prevent soil particles from being dislodged. While more complex, Khosla's theory provides a more accurate representation of seepage flow compared to Bligh's assumption of linear head loss.
.BOUSSINESQ’S THEORY FOR VERTICAL STRESSES UNDER A CIRCULAR AREA.pdfSANJEEV Wazir
- Boussinesq's theory is used to determine the vertical stress (σZ) at a point P located at a depth Z below the center of a uniformly loaded circular area.
- The load is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the circular area with radius R and intensity q per unit area.
- The solution expresses σZ as a function of Z, R, and q, where σZ is equal to the influence coefficient Ic multiplied by the load intensity q. The influence coefficient Ic is defined as 1 - (1/(1+(R/Z)^2)^(3/2)).
How to calculate quantity of steel in slabSANJEEV Wazir

It then shows calculations to determine the number of each bar type based on the slab dimensions, and calculates the total length, weight, and overall quantity of steel for the slab, which is approximately 930kg/m2.
Home security is of paramount importance in today's world, where we rely more on technology, home
security is crucial. Using technology to make homes safer and easier to control from anywhere is
important. Home security is important for the occupant’s safety. In this paper, we came up with a low cost,
AI based model home security system. The system has a user-friendly interface, allowing users to start
model training and face detection with simple keyboard commands. Our goal is to introduce an innovative
home security system using facial recognition technology. Unlike traditional systems, this system trains
and saves images of friends and family members. The system scans this folder to recognize familiar faces
and provides real-time monitoring. If an unfamiliar face is detected, it promptly sends an email alert,
ensuring a proactive response to potential security threats.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Height and depth gauge linear metrology.pdfq30122000
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
