FEG 2016 Homeowners Guide Booklet - Buildings Foundation Movement Stabilisati...Steve Lewenhoff
This document provides a guide for homeowners about building foundation movement and stabilization. It discusses common causes of foundation cracks, such as poor construction methods, changing environmental conditions, building alterations, and the age of the building. Poor construction that does not follow building codes can result in substandard work and materials leading to issues. Changes in soil moisture, water tables, or nearby excavations can also impact foundations over time. Renovations must consider effects on existing foundations. Older houses pre-1950s often had foundations more susceptible to soil movement issues. Stabilization methods like underpinning can help reinforce foundations experiencing excessive movement.

This document provides an overview of flooding, including its causes, hazards, and management in India. It begins with an introduction defining flooding as caused by heavy rain or snowmelt that overflows land. It then discusses how flooding starts and ends, why it occurs, and its hazardous environmental effects such as poor soil quality, damaged trees and crops. The document outlines India's flood management approaches including modifying floods, susceptibility, and loss burden. It details structural measures like dams and non-structural measures like flood forecasting. Finally, it proposes future strategies around a focused basin-wise approach, flood plain zoning, central government role, and capacity building.
This document discusses floods, including their causes, effects, and management. It notes that floods occur when equilibrium in river systems is disturbed by heavy rains, melting ice, or human activities like deforestation. Floods cause physical damage, disrupt essential services, and have long-term effects. The document outlines flood prone areas in India and different approaches to flood management, including both hard engineering methods like embankments and dams, and soft engineering methods like flood forecasting and zoning.
Floods can occur when heavy rainfall or snowmelt causes river channels or low-lying areas to become submerged. They are the most common natural disaster worldwide and can be exacerbated by human activities like urbanization. Major river basins in India that experience frequent flooding include the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and rivers in peninsular and northwestern regions. Floods can damage property, infrastructure, and agriculture, while also increasing health risks. Mitigation strategies aim to reduce vulnerability through mapping of flood-prone areas, land use controls, engineered structures, and flood management programs.
This document discusses various methods of flood management and alleviation. It begins by defining floods and describing the major causes of flooding such as heavy rainfall, topography of the catchment area, sedimentation, and obstructions in the river flow. It then categorizes the rivers of India into four regions - Brahmaputra, Ganga, North-West, and Central India Deccan - based on their flood characteristics. The document outlines both structural measures like storage reservoirs, embankments, channel improvement works, and diversion works as well as non-structural measures to control and reduce flood damage.
The document discusses floods in India, including definitions, causes, impacts, management strategies, and case studies. It provides an overview of flood types, forecasting methods, zoning, and benefits. Major factors that cause floods are described. Impacts include loss of life, property damage, health issues, and economic disruption. Management involves mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Case studies of specific flood events in India are also presented.

The results of these tests indicated poor concrete quality and a high probability of reinforcement corrosion. Based on the inspection and test results, the document recommends strengthening of weakened RCC members, repairing cracks and damaged plaster, waterproofing of the terrace, and carrying out
IRJET- Indian Rural Housing Needs to Bridge the Technological GapsIRJET Journal
The document discusses the need to bridge technological gaps in rural housing in India. It notes that rural housing is currently based on traditional knowledge without modern planning, specifications, materials testing, or structural design. This makes houses vulnerable to natural disasters. It recommends establishing rural research centers and construction guidance centers to provide training, materials testing, planning assistance, and design guidance to rural builders at low or no cost. This would help improve housing quality, safety, and resilience in rural areas through use of appropriate technologies and workmanship practices tailored to local conditions and resources.
Australia has experienced a construction boom in recent years which has led to many new high-rise buildings, however many are riddled with waterproofing defects. Faulty waterproofing membranes are one of the leading causes of building issues, with estimates that 70% of buildings constructed since 2000 leak. The costs of rectifying defective waterproofing are significant and include remediation works, legal fees, and damage expenses. To address waterproofing challenges, the Australian Institute of Waterproofing provides industry training to educate professionals on proper material selection, design, and installation of waterproofing systems.

Bps 5205 sustainability construction and maintainability velpandi & mariaMaria Archana
Singapore heavily relies on conventional precast construction involving extensive use of precast planks, canopy beams, column & facade. The recent prefabrication trend, which is being increasingly used in the building industry, alleviating some of the environmental burdens associated with conventional construction. Several case studies were conducted on residential buildings in Singapore. The findings revealed that environmental, economic and social benefits of using prefabrication were significant when compared to conventional construction methods. This implies that a wider use of prefabrication techniques could contribute to sustainable construction in a dense urban environment on the other hand using precast components have adverse effects on the structure. Today, as much as 82% of Singaporeans live in public housing delivered by the HDB.HDB plans and develops public housing towns that provide Singaporeans with quality homes and living environments.
In the construction industry, construction defects and failures can occur during the design and construction phases of a project, or after a structure is substantially complete. However, while a design professional is responsible to produce complete, accurate and well-coordinated design and construction documents that are substantially free of defects; and a contractor is required to adhere to the design and construction documents, nothing built is ever perfect nor does the law require a perfect design. Furthermore, all buildings have an expected lifespan and even the structures of the ancient world will erode into a mound of sand given enough time. The eventual failure of a structure is an expected result rather than a manifestation of a construction defect. The question becomes what is a construction defect; how do defects arise; and how can defects be identified and managed?
A Case Study has been conducted to analyse Construction Defects on site, Remedial Measures & Preventable Practices at HDB Water Way Banks at Punggol East.
1.2. Objectives:
The objective of this case study aims to mitigate the defects to the future HDB projects. This project may help to HDB engineers for awareness regarding defects prevention practice. HDB has objectives, which expanding from time to time, Recently, HDB is not only functioning as a provider of basic shelter but also creates housing that can comply with the needs, necessities and aspirations for modern living days and futures. HDB objective is to provide affordable quality homes and develop vibrant living environment.
This case study has the following objectives of:
To investigate and identify the defects that appeared in the precast slab planks.
To identify the defects during construction progress, remedial measures & preventable practices propose better & quality living standards to the public.

Maintenanceandrepairofbuildings Amit PayalAMIT PAYAL
Maintenance and repair of buildings involves preserving facilities in good condition and restoring functionality when deterioration occurs. Maintenance objectives are safety, efficiency, reliability and sustaining utility value. It includes condition-based, fixed-time, preventative, opportunity, day-to-day and shutdown maintenance. Common maintenance works involve surveying water/sanitary systems, checking electrical installations, and maintaining elevators, walls, and plasters. Repair restores damaged devices and addresses issues like cracks, leaks, deteriorated walls, and structural cracks in concrete which are investigated and strengthened through techniques like adding reinforcement.
The document provides a site visit report for a construction site building two apartment blocks and three floor villas. Key details include:

• There were significant changes to the original plans of the Sydney Opera
House. Also, the construction was commenced before the finalized
designs.
• Elements erection – highly advanced methods (post-tensioning for shells).
Roof Sails:
• Most recognizable part of the Opera House.
• Due to full exposure to marine environment, There might be
failure in ceramic tile skin or for grouting inside the post-
tensioning ducts.
• So, more focus should be given to investigate the structural
performance.
Tile lids:
• Concrete ribs in the sails clad in 3382 chevron shaped tile
lids which hold ceramic tiles in place.
• A new approached was developed for the tile lid to achieve
3D spherical geometry of the frame work.
• Thin acrylic flat mesh gives adjacent support for the surface.

This document discusses floating technology concepts for structures. A trend sees investors developing waterfront areas using floating buildings for utilities, housing, offices, entertainment and more. Companies offer floating solutions and services for research, project development and maintenance. Floating structures are focal points that attract attention and crowds. The basics involve buildings floating on water secured by buoyancy mechanisms rather than foundations. Materials include expanded polystyrene, composite panels and concrete pontoons. Relocation of floating buildings can involve dismantling and reassembly or transport as a whole unit. Examples showcase completed floating homes and a large floating commercial development.
1) The document is a project report proposing the development of a 24/7 food and beverage area on the roof of Block E at Taylor's University.
2) It includes a site analysis of the proposed location, sketches of the proposed floor plan including a restaurant, dining area, and leisure space, and discusses the expected benefits to students.
3) The report also outlines the necessary authority procedures and estimated costs for the proposed development, which include obtaining various development approvals, carrying out inspections, and connecting utilities.
This document discusses engaging communities around flood issues. It finds that citizens' water literacy and experience with flooding can influence their actions and acceptance of flood protection strategies. Those with higher water literacy are more likely to adopt water-saving practices and alternative water sources. Focus groups in Brisbane and Bendigo found that flooding is a highly salient issue for those who have directly experienced it. Drawing from protection motivation theory, factors like experience of floods, home ownership, and belief in one's ability to take effective action can motivate flood mitigation behaviors. The document argues for public engagement approaches on flood issues that go beyond just information dissemination to incorporate citizen participation.
Benefits of data sharing before, during and after flood eventsKate Hodge
This document discusses the benefits of data sharing before, during, and after flood events. It provides three examples: the Netherlands, South Africa, and Queensland, Australia. In the Netherlands, over 50% of the land can flood but over 80% of people think flooding will not occur and over 90% do not know what to do if it does. A joint information dashboard was created in the Netherlands for improved water management across five organizations. This allowed for shared data and visions, reduced costs, and would have prevented damage from flood cases. Similar benefits could be achieved in South Africa and Queensland through better coordination and open data policies.
The Netherlands has a long history of managing floods through systems of dykes and water boards. Recent developments in their approach include "Building with Nature" and emphasizing collaboration between different levels of government. Two examples given are Room for the River, which makes space for water in river floodplains, and Katwijk, where various stakeholders worked together on coastal protection solutions that considered flood safety as well as other spatial qualities. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of anticipating floods rather than only reacting to disasters, and taking an integrated, collaborative approach.
Dealing with uncertanties in hydrologic studiesKate Hodge
This document summarizes techniques for dealing with uncertainties in hydrologic studies. It discusses risk analysis, statistical methods like histograms and distribution fitting, and joint probability methods. Joint probability methods account for multiple factors that influence flood levels, like rainfall, reservoir levels, and ocean water levels. The Brisbane River Catchment Flood Study is highlighted, which uses flood frequency analysis, design events, and a Monte Carlo joint probability approach to estimate flood probabilities at various locations with and without dams. Correlations between factors and realistic rainfall patterns are important for the Monte Carlo method.
Resetting the benchmark in the Brisbane RiverKate Hodge
The document discusses resetting the benchmark for Brisbane River floods based on new information from the 2011 flood. It summarizes that the 2011 flood provided data like Wivenhoe Dam releases and new river flow measurements that indicated previous flood estimates, including for the 1893 and 1974 floods, were too low. The document outlines how Seqwater collected data on almost 50 floods back to 1887 and developed calibrated models to better estimate flood peaks and volumes to help with dam operations, flood studies, and disaster management.
The document discusses TERN, the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, which supports coordinated ecosystem science in Australia through infrastructure and networks. It enables long-term collection, storage, synthesis and sharing of ecosystem data to connect science with policy and management. The Australian Coastal Ecosystems Facility and SEQuITOR project are also summarized as examples of initiatives that leverage TERN's infrastructure to provide access to coastal and southeast Queensland ecosystem data through interactive maps, charts and other tools.
Flood risk management in the MBRC planning schemeKate Hodge
The document outlines Moreton Bay Regional Council's flood risk management framework to address flooding in Moreton Bay. The framework is a 4-step process: 1) identify flood risk, 2) analyze flood risk, 3) prepare a floodplain risk management plan, and 4) implement the plan. It also discusses developing a risk matrix and zone allocations to determine hazard levels and constraints for specific sites. Regular monitoring is done to review and update the management plan.
International practice for the design of levees - SmithKate Hodge
The document discusses international best practices for levee design as outlined in the International Levee Handbook (ILH). It provides background on the author and describes how the ILH was a collaborative effort between countries to develop comprehensive guidance after failures like Hurricane Katrina. The ILH covers all aspects of levee management from operation to design and represents an international community of practice on levees. It provides decision support for practitioners while incorporating national standards.
Ellen Tromp gave a presentation on levee management in the Netherlands, Europe, and worldwide. She discussed the over 15,000 km of levees in the Netherlands, the shift to flood risk management focusing on prevention, room for rivers, and building with nature. She also covered levee strength assessment, monitoring systems, and strategies for spatially integrating levees and land use planning to increase robustness for climate change. Tromp concluded that effective flood risk management requires preventing floods, reducing risks, and emergency response planning, while accounting for changing hydraulic and built environments over time.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

controlled the water levels were all designed for these water level variations.
Wieringermeer was the first polder created from the Zuiderzee (see Figure 9). The dike, constructed betwe

polder sloped from north-west to south-east, resulting in four separately controlled water levels. The great
elevation difference between the canal water levels and the outside IJsselmeer water was 6 m.
The second polder to be created in the former Zuiderzee was the Noordoost Polder (see Figure 9). The dike ru

Soon after pumping this region dry problems were discovered in the old land. Before any pumping,
groundwater levels along the former seashore were controlled by the water level in the Zuiderzee. Af
