Importance of geotechnical engineering knowledge to civil engineers.pdfankit482504
Importance of geotechnical engineering knowledge to civil engineers:-
In today\'s environmental challenges due to climatic changes and global increase in population
the knowledge of geotechnical engineering is a boon for the civil engineers.The knowledge helps
engineers in minimizing natural hazards :-
1) By Landslide stabilization.
2) Flood Protection.
3) Avalanche and mud flow protection.
4) Design of earthquake resistant structures etc.
In former centuries drinking water was often contaminated with full of bacterias causing terrible
epidemics like cholera,typhoid,fever etc. causing death of millions of populations.It is the merit
of geotechnical engineering which saved millions of life than medicine by providing the means
of supply of clean drinking water and for proper disposal of liquid and solid waste. The first
public Vienna drinking water system, for instance, was constructed in the year 1870-1873, and it
has been supplying the population with 470 million litres of high quality water per day ever
since.The total length of the pipes from the headwaters region in the mountains to the
reservoirsin Vienna is 3,100 km.
It was through dams, not gold that california became the equivalent of the world\'s seventh
richest country.Dams have turned the arid central valley into an agricultural supermarket to the
world.
Concept of Geotechnical engineering & application in construction
Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering
behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical engineering is important in civil engineering, but also
has applications in military, mining, petroleum and other engineering disciplines that are
concerned with construction occurring on the surface or within the ground. Geotechnical
engineering uses principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to investigate subsurface
conditions and materials; determine the relevant physical/mechanical and chemical properties of
these materials; evaluate stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits; assess risks
posed by site conditions; design earthworks and structure foundations; and monitor site
conditions, earthwork and foundation construction.
A typical geotechnical engineering project begins with a review of project needs to define the
required material properties. Then follows a site investigation of soil, rock, fault distribution and
bedrock properties on and below an area of interest to determine their engineering properties
including how they will interact with, on or in a proposed construction. Site investigations are
needed to gain an understanding of the area in or on which the engineering will take place.
Investigations can include the assessment of the risk to humans, property and the environment
from natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, sinkholes, soil liquefaction, debris flows
and rock falls.
An engineer then determines and designs the type of foundations, earthworks, and/or pavement
sub grades required for t.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Geotechnical engineering can be defined as a branch
of civil engineering concerned with the engineering
behavior of the earth's materials.
The knowledge of theoretical geotechnical
engineering, assuming the soil to be an ideal elastic
isotropic and homogeneous material, helps in
predicting the behaviour of the soil in the field.
3. WHAT IT IS INCLUDES ?
It includes investigating existing subsurface conditions
and materials.
determining their physical/mechanical and chemical
properties that are relevant to the project considered and
assessing the risks posed by site conditions.
designing earthworks and structure foundations and
monitoring site conditions, earthwork and foundation
construction.
4. HISTORY :
1) Knowledge of the use of soil extends into prehistoric
times, when man started constructing dwellings for
living and roads for transportation.
2) Humans have historically used soil as a material for
flood control, irrigation purposes, burial sites,
building foundations and as construction material
for buildings.
3) Classical geotechnical mechanics began in 1773 with
Charles Coulomb's introduction of mechanics to soil
problems.
5. APPLICATIONS :
The civil engineer has many diverse important
encounters with soil. some of the applications are
prescribed below.
1) FOUNDATION DESIGNING
Foundation is a very important
element of all civil engineering
structures. All civil engineering
structures like buildings, dams,
bridges, retaining walls, walls,
canals, tunnels or pillars are
founded in or on the surface of
the earth. it is necessary to understand the bearing
capacity of the soil, effect of
ground water and vibration.
6. 2) PAVEMENT DESIGN :
pavement: Cover with a material such as stone or
concrete to make suitable for vehicle traffic
Pavement can be either flexible or rigid, and its
performance depends upon the subsoil on which it
rests.
the thickness of pavement and its component parts
depends upon certain characteristics of the subsoil,
which should be determined before the design is
made.
7. 3) Design of earth-retaining structures and
under ground :
1) The design and construction of underground and
earth-retaining structures constitute an important phase of
engineering.
2) The underground structures include tunnels, underground
buildings, drainage structures and pipelines. A thorough
knowledge of geotechnical engineering is essential to design
gravity-retaining walls, tunnels, underground buildings, etc.
subjected to soil loadings.
8. Design of embankments and excavations :
1) When the surface of the soil structure is not horizontal, the
component of gravity tends to move the soil downward, and
may disturb the stability of the earth structure.
2) The possibility of seeping groundwater reducing the soil
strength while excavating must also be taken into account.
Sometimes, it is required to drain the subsoil water to
increase the soil strength and to reduce the seepage forces.
3) Deep excavation requires lateral braces and sheet walls to
prevent caving in.
9. Design of earth dams :
1) The construction of an earth dam requires a very thorough
knowledge of geotechnical engineering.
2) As soil is used as the only construction material in an earth
dam, which may be either homogeneous or of composite
section.
3) its design involves the determination of the physical
properties of soil such as the index properties, such as
density, plasticity characteristics and specific gravity, particle
size distribution and gradation of the soil etc.,
10. Investigations on geo-technical
engineering can include assessment
of the risk to humans, property and
the environment from natural
hazards, such as earthquakes,
landslides, sinkholes, soil
liquefaction, debris flows and rock
falls.
11. Failures without considering geo-technical
engineering.
One of he example is:
1) Shrinkage of roads , buildings and other civil
engineering structures.
12. Conclusion :
By knowing about the geo-technical
engineering we can improve the
durability of any civil engineering
structures.
