This document discusses the construction of artificial islands through land reclamation. It notes that population growth is putting pressure on available land area. Artificial islands are constructed by dredging sand from the ocean floor and depositing it in layers to form new land. The construction process involves installing temporary supports, depositing hydraulic fill layers, and driving piles into the seabed to stabilize the new island. Potential advantages of artificial islands include increasing land area for development and preventing flooding. However, reclamation can damage coral reefs and marine life if unsuitable areas are selected.
This document is prepared on the study of construction of artificial islands by using land reclamation technique.
It also includes a serious case study of "The Palm Islands" in Dubai

Soil nailing is a technique used to reinforce and strengthen existing ground.Soil nailing consists of installing closely spaced bars into a slope or excavation as construction proceeds from top down.It is an effective and economical method of constructing retaining wall for excavation support, support of hill cuts, bridge abutments and high ways.This process is effective in cohesive soil, broken rock, shale or fixed face conditions.
An artificial island is an application of various engineering concepts that has brought a drastic change in construction technology. The artificial island is built in the sea, and the rig, oil and gas production equipment, public facilities, storage tank, and unloading terminal can be set on the island. Artificial island construction technology, which is based on civil engineering technology, is also closely related to marine engineering technology.
An artificial island is an island constructed by man rather than created by natural means. They are constructed by expanding the existing islets and by construction on existing reefs or merging some natural islets into a bigger island. They are usually constructed by land reclamation, but some are formed by the incidental isolation of an existing piece of land during canal construction. Land reclamation is a process where new land is created from oceans, river beds and lake beds. The land which is reclaimed is called reclamation ground. These types of structures help in the development of a nation and also become a source of income as a place of tourism. In countries like Japan the land space is usually less and artificial islands are thus helpful to such countries for avoiding crowd settlement of houses. The artificial islands are part of urbanization but they also create disorder to the balanced marine ecosystem.

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.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Today we will be discussing:
Problem of the population and land space
Construction of the artificial island on the ocean
Advantages & Disadvantages of artificial island
3. PROBLEM OF THE POPULATION & THE
LAND SPACE
The population problem is
the biggest problem in the
world today .
Pressure on the region’s are
agricultural lands become
leading to extensive
degradation due to the
poverty of land shortage .
4. THE EARTH PLANET
Percentage of crustal, About
70% water
30% land
From 30% land also there are
some barren spaces. Like
mires.
People motivate to get
benefits from the water areas.
5. SELECTION OF THE SEA AREA
To get more benefits from
this project we must pay
the attention for the sea
space which having no
coral prosperity
skerry
seaweed
sea vitals
ocean trade routes
6. CONSTRUCTION OF THE ISLAND
This islands are
constructed technically
artificial peninsulas of
sand dredged from the
bottom of the sea.
The sand is sprayed by the
dredging ships, which are
guided by GPS, onto the
required area in a process
known as rain bowing.
7. UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION & SEA
BED DREDGING
Mean sea level
Sand surcharge
Clay lumps
Inter-lump voids
Filled water
Seabed
8. Place the material in the
form of lumps, directly
at the reclamation site
Sand siphoned up from
the ocean floor, being
deposited in one of the
hoppers of the Dredge
Island
9. CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE
Temporary tube piles driven into
sea bed
Temporary sheet piles and tie
rods driven into sea bed to
support boundary rocks (see
figure 1)
10. Permanent boundary rock is
constructed like bunds & it
deposited either side of sheet
piles
Hydraulic fill layers deposited
between bunds to displace sea
water and form island (see figure
2 with fill layers partially
complete)
11. Permanent concrete units are
placed around island to protect it
from the waves
2m diameter 43m deep piles
driven through island into the
below of the sea bed to stabilize
structure (see figure 3)
12. Island interior excavated and
temporary sheet piles or coffer
dam inserted
2m thick concrete plug slab laid at
base of island
Reinforced concrete retaining
wall built
Basement floors created (see
figure 4)
14. ADVANTAGES OF RECLAMATION
Land reclamation will definitely increase
land area for a certain country
More lands, more buildings and better
infrastructure can be built
Can reclaimed lot of lands from flooding
15. DISADVANTAGE OF RECLAMATION
Land reclamation can be damaging to corals and
marine life due to wrong selection of poor
knowledge of the subject
