Kindly mail me ( vvietcivil@gmail.com) your questions & valuable feedback.
Design of concrete structures governs the performance of concrete structures.
Well designed and detailed concrete structure will show less deterioration in comparison with poorly designed and detailed concrete, in the similar condition.
The beam-column joints are particularly prone to defective concrete, if detailing and placing of reinforcement is not done properly.
Inadequate concrete cover may lead to carbonation depth reaching up to the reinforcement, thus, increasing the risk of corrosion of the reinforcement.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

19. FootingFooting
Definition
Footings are structural members used to support
columns and walls and to transmit and distribute
their loads to the soil in such a way that the load
bearing capacity of the soil is not exceeded,
excessive settlement, differential settlement,or
rotation are prevented and adequate safety
against overturning or sliding is maintained.
20. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Wall footings are used to
support structural walls that
carry loads for other floors
or to support nonstructural
walls.
21. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Isolated or single footings
are used to support single
columns. This is one of the
most economical types of
footings and is used when
columns are spaced at
relatively long distances.
22. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Combined footings usually
support two columns, or
three columns not in a row.
Combined footings are used
when tow columns are so
close that single footings
cannot be used or when one
column is located at or near
a property line.
23. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Cantilever or strap footings
consist of two single
footings connected with a
beam or a strap and support
two single columns. This
type replaces a combined
footing and is more
economical.
24. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Continuous footings
support a row of three or
more columns. They have
limited width and continue
under all columns.
25. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Rafted or mat foundation
consists of one footing
usually placed under the
entire building area. They
are used, when soil bearing
capacity is low, column
loads are heavy single
footings cannot be used,
piles are not used and
differential settlement must
be reduced.
26. Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Pile caps are thick slabs
used to tie a group of piles
together to support and
transmit column loads to the
piles.
27. Distribution of Soil PressureDistribution of Soil Pressure
When the column load P is
applied on the centroid of the
footing, a uniform pressure is
assumed to develop on the soil
surface below the footing area.
However the actual distribution of
the soil is not uniform, but
depends on may factors especially
the composition of the soil and
degree of flexibility of the footing.
28. Distribution of Soil PressureDistribution of Soil Pressure
Soil pressure distribution in
cohesive soil.
Soil pressure distribution in

43. Bearing Capacity of Column at BaseBearing Capacity of Column at Base
The loads from the column act on the footing at the base
of the column, on an area equal to area of the column
cross-section. Compressive forces are transferred to the
footing directly by bearing on the concrete. Tensile
forces must be resisted by reinforcement, neglecting any
contribution by concrete.
