The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Practical Profile of Gravity Dam
6. Limiting height of Gravity Dam
7. Drainage and Inspection Galleries
3. Types of Gravity Dam
A Gravity dam is a structure so proportioned that its own weight
resists the forces exerted upon it.
Types:
1. Masonry Dam
2. Concrete Dam
Suitable across gorges with very steep slopes where earth
dams might slip.
4. Advantages of Gravity Dam
Advantages:
1. Strong, Stable and Durable
2. Suitable for moderately wide valleys having steep
slopes
3. Can be constructed to very great heights
4. Suitable for an overflow spillway section
5. Maintenance cost is very low
6. Does not fail suddenly
5. Disadvantages of Gravity Dam
Disadvantages:
1. Gravity dams of great height can be constructed
only on sound rock foundations.
2. Initial cost is more than earth dam
3. Takes longer time in construction
4. Require more skilled labor than earth dam
5. Subsequent raise is not possible in a gravity dam

7. 1. Water Pressure
This is the major external force acting
on dam
Pressure Components on both
upstream and downstream are:
1. Vertical Component
2. Horizontal Component
Unit weight of water, γw=1000 kg/m3
8. 2. Weight of Dam
This is the major resisting force
Generally unit length of dam is considered
The cross section of dam may be divided
into several triangles and rectangles and
weights W1, W2, W3 etc., may be
computed
The total weight W of the dam acts at the
C.G. of its section.
Weight = Volume per unit length x Density of material
9. 3. Uplift Pressure
The uplift pressure is defined as the
upward pressure of water as it flows or
seeps through the body of the dam or its
foundation.
Uplift Pressure
(No Gallery)
10. 4. Pressure due to Earthquake
Earthquake waves imparts accelerations to the
foundations under the dam and causes its movement
This earthquake wave may travel in any direction
For design purpose, Horizontal and Vertical
directions are considered.
Seismic Force = Mass x Earthquake Acceleration
According to IS 1893-2002, India was divided into
Four zones: zone II, III, VI, and V.
11. Earthquake Acceleration
Earthquake Acceleration is usually
designated as fraction of the acceleration
due to gravity
It is expressed as α.g where α is known as
Seismic Coefficient
12. Seismic Coefficient
Seismic coefficient is divided into
1. Horizontal Seismic coefficient, αh
2. Vertical Seismic Coefficient, αv = .75 αh
αh can be determined by one of the two methods
1. Seismic Coefficient Method < 100m height of the dam
2. Response Spectrum Method > 100m height of the dam
13. Seismic Coefficient Method
As per IS: 1893-1984,
Horizontal Seismic coefficient, αh = 2 α0
Where α0 = Basic Seismic Coefficient
Basic Seismic Coefficient as per IS 1893:1984
Seismic Zone II III IV V
Basic Seismic Coefficient 0.02 0.04 0.05 0.08
14. Response Spectrum Method
As per IS: 1893-1984,
Horizontal Seismic coefficient, αh = 2 F0 (Sa/g)
Where F0 = Seismic Zone Factor
Seismic Zone Factor as per IS 1893:1984
Seismic Zone II III IV V
Seismic Zone Factor, F0 0.10 0.20 0.25 0.40
IS: 1893-1984 recommends a damping of 5% for dams
*Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that
has the effect of reducing, restricting or preventing its oscillations.
15. Effect of Earthquake Acceleration
Effect of Horizontal Earthquake Acceleration, αh g
1. Inertia Force in the body of the dam
Inertia Force = Force x Earthquake Acceleration
= (W/g) (αh g) = W. αh
2. Hydrodynamic Pressure of water
Pey = Cy αh w h Equation 8.16 (Page 370)
where Cy is a dimensionless pressure coefficient
The Inertia Force is the product of mass and acceleration and this
force acts in the direction opposite to that of the ground motion.
If Reservoir is Full Inertia Force acts in downstream direction
If Reservoir is Empty Inertia Force acts in upstream direction
16. Effect of Earthquake Acceleration…
Effect of Horizontal Earthquake Acceleration, αh g
a) Horizontal Shear, Peh = 0.726 Pey h
b) Moment, Meh = 0.299 Pey h2
c) Vertical Component of Shear,
Wh = (Pe2 - pe1) tan φ
where φ = actual slope of the u/s face
Pe2 = Horizontal shear at elevation of the section being considered
Pe1 = Horizontal shear at elevation at which the slope of the dam face commences
17. Effect of Vertical Earthquake Acceleration
1. Due to Vertical Earthquake Acceleration, αv g,
the dam as well as reservoir water are
accelerated vertically upwards or downwards.
2. An acceleration upwards increases the weighs
and an acceleration downwards decreases the
weighs.
3. Altered weighs = w(1+ αv) or w(1- αv)
18. 5. Ice Pressure
1. The ice formed on water surface of the
reservoir is subjected to expansion and
contraction due to temperature variations
2. Coefficient of thermal expansion of ice is 5
times more than concrete
3. The dam face has to resist the force due to
expansion of ice
19. 5. Ice Pressure
4. This force acts linearly along the length of the
dam, at reservoir level
5. IS: 6512-1984 recommends 250 kN/m2 applied
to the face of dam over the anticipated area of
contact of ice with the face of the dam.
20. 6. Wave Pressure
Waves are generated on the reservoir surface
because of wind blowing over it.

Where hw= height of wave in m, V = wind velocity in KMPH,
F = Fetch or straight length of water expanse in Km
Wave Pressure, Pw = 2 w hw
2
and it acts at a distance of 3hw/8 above
the reservoir surface
21. 7. Silt Pressure
The river brings silt and debris along with it.
The dam is, therefore, subjected to silt pressure,
Ps, in addition to water pressure
Where γ’ = submerged unit weight of silt
h = height of silt deposit
Φ = Angle of internal friction
According to IS : 6512-1972, the silt pressure and
water pressure exist together in submerged silt.
The following are recommended for calculating
forces:
Psh = 1360 Kg/m3
Psv = 1925 Kg/m3
22. 8. Wind Pressure
It is a minor force acting on dam
Acts on Superstructure of the dam
Normally, wind pressure is taken as 1 to 1.5
kN/m2
23. Combination of Loading for Design
USBR Recommendations:
1. Normal Load Combination
2. Extreme Load Combination
3. Reservoir Empty Condition
Normal water surface elevation, ice pressure, silt
pressure and normal uplift
Normal water surface elevation, earthquake force, silt
pressure and normal uplift
Maximum water surface level, silt pressure and
normal uplift
Maximum flood water elevation, silt pressure and
extreme uplift with no drain in operation to release the
lift
24. Combination of Loading for Design
IS Recommendations: (IS: 6512-1984)
Gravity dam design shall be based on the most
adverse conditions A, B, C, D, E, F, and G
Construction Condition (A)
Normal Operating Condition (B)
Flood Discharge Condition (C)
Other Load Combinations such as D,E,F and G
25. Causes of Failure of Dam
1. Overturning
2. Sliding
3. Compression or Crushing
4. Tension
26. Overturning Failure
The overturning of the dam section takes place
when the resultant force at any section cuts the
base of the dam downstream of the toe.
Factor of Safety (F.S.) should not be less than 1.5
27. Sliding Failure
A dam will fail in sliding at its base, or at any other
level, if the horizontal forces causing sliding is more
than the resistance available to it that level
For Low Gravity Dams, Factor of Safety against Sliding (F.F.S.) should
be greater than 1
Coefficient of friction μ varies from 0.65 to 0.75
28. Sliding Failure
For Large Gravity Dams, Shear Strength of joint
should also be considered for economical design.
Shear Friction Factor,
Where,
c = Shear strength of joint varies from 1300 to 4500 kN/m2,
b = Width of the joint
29. Compression or Crushing
The maximum compressive stress occurs at
the toe and for safety, this should not be
greater than the allowable compressive stress
for the foundation material.
30. Tension Failure
If eccentricity e >b/6, then Tension will be
developed at the heel of the dam.
Since concrete can not resist Tension, No
tension is permitted at any point of the
dam under any circumstances
31. Principal Stresses
Where
Compressive Stress,
Intensity of water Pressure, p = γ h
p may change depends upon Earthquake Pressure
p = p-pe for downstream and p = p+pe for upstream
Intensity of Water Pressure
normal to the face of dam
Uplift Pressure
Principal Stress
32. Elementary Profile of Gravity Dam
1. No any other force except
forces due to water such as
weight of dam, water pressure
and uplift Pressure
2. Same shape as hydrostatic
pressure distribution diagram
3. e = b/6
If Reservoir is empty, then c= 0
33. Practical Profile of a Gravity Dam
1. Practical profile has a provision of
roadway at top, addition loads due to
roadway and free board.
2. Resultant force of the weight of dam
and water pressure falls outside the
middle third of the base of the dam
and causes tension at upstream when
the reservoir is full
3. To eliminate tension, some masonry is
to be provided to the upstream.
Free Board:
Free board is the margin provided between top of dam
and HFL in the reservoir to prevent the splashing of the
waves over the non-overflow dam.
Fee Board = 3/2 hw
Where hw is wave pressure
Modern Practice is to provide a maximum Free Board
equal to 3 to 4% of the height of dam and it should not
be less than 1m in any case
Top Width = 14% of height of water level
34. Limiting Height of Gravity Dam
If the height of dam is greater than H,
then it is known as High Gravity Dam
35. Drainage and Inspection Galleries
1. A gallery is a formed opening left in a dam
2. It runs in longitudinal direction horizontally or on a slope
Purpose:
1. To drained off the seepage water which occurs constantly
through the upstream face of the dam
2. To provide access to observe and measure the behavior of
structure
3. To provide an access needed for the operation of outlet
gates and spillway gates
