The document summarizes an experimental study that evaluated lap splices between headed reinforcing bars and hooked reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete beams. Seven beam specimens with different bar diameters, lap lengths, and confinement were tested. The test results showed that specimens with shorter lap lengths relative to code design equations had maximum loads ranging from 56-94% of nominal strength and failed in bond splitting or prying near the lap splice. Confinement over the lap zone improved stiffness and strength. The study concluded that code design equations need to specify longer lap lengths between headed and hooked bars to ensure the splice reaches nominal strength.
Test for straightness by using spirit level and Autocollimator
The straightness of any surface could be determined by either of these instruments by measuring the relative angular positions of number of adjacent sections of the surface to be tested. First straight line is drawn on the surface then it is divided into a number of sections the length of each section being equal to the length of sprit level base or the plane reflector’ s base in case of auto collimator. The bases of the spirit level block or reflector are fitted with two feet so that only feet have line contact with the surface and the surface of base does not touch the surface to he tested. The angular division obtained is between the specified two points. Length of each section must be equal to distance between the centerlines of two feet. The special level can be used only for the measurement of straightness of horizontal surfaces while auto-collimator can be used on surfaces are any plane. In case of spirit level, the block is moved along the line equal to the pitch distance between the centerline of the feet and the angular variation of the direction of block. Angular variation can be determined in terms of the difference of height between two points by knowing the least count of level and length of the base.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

All elements of the thread influence
the strength and interchange ability
of screw thread, but the pitch, angle
and effective diameter are much
more important than the other
elements

1.1.1. Major Diameter
It is the largest diameter of the thread. This is the distance between
the crests of the thread measured perpendicular to the thread axis.
1.1.2. Pitch/Mean Diameter
The diameter of the thread used to establish the relationship, or fit,
between an internal and external thread. The pitch diameter is the
distance between the pitch points measured perpendicular to the thread
axis. The pitch points are the points on the thread where the thread ridge
and the space between the threads are of the same width.
1.1.3. Minor Diameter
It is the smallest diameter of the thread. This is the distance
between the roots of the thread measured perpendicular to the thread
axis.
1.1.4. Thread Angle
This is the included angle of the thread form.
1.1.5. Pitch
It is the distance between the same points on adjacent threads. This
is also the linear distance the thread will travel in one revolution.
1.1.6. Root
The surface of the thread that joins the flanks of adjacent threads.
The distance between the roots on opposite sides of the thread is called
the root, or minor diameter.

MEASURING THE MAJOR DIAMETER
To measure major diameter of the screw, a micrometer, with anvils of a
diameter sufficient to span two threads, may be used,( Fig. 1.2). To eliminate
the effect of errors in the micrometer screw and measuring faces, it is advisable
first to check the instrument to a cylindrical standard of about the same
diameter as the screw. For such purposes a plug gauge or a set of ‘Hoffman’
rollers is useful.

MEASURING THE MINOR/CORE DIAMETER
The diameter over the roots of a thread may be checked by means of a
special micrometer adapted with a shaped anvils, (Fig. 1.3) or a micrometer may
be used in conjunction with a pair of vee pieces ( steel prisms ). The second
method is recommended ( Fig.1.5).
The steel prisms on the micrometer are
pressed into the thread groove. The ends of the prisms are slightly curved and
parallel to the root thread. It is important , when making the test, to ensure
that the micrometer is positioned at right angles to the axis of the screw being
measured, and when a large amount of such work is to be done, a special
‘floating bench micrometer’ ( Fig. 1.4 ) is used. It is because, it supports the
screw and incorporates the micrometer elements correctly located, as well as
providing means for suspending the vee prisms.

MEASURING THE MEAN/PITCH/EFFECTIVE DIAMETER
The three-wire method is recognized as one of the best methods of checking
the pitch diameter because the results are least affected by any error which may
be present in the included thread angle. For threads which require an accuracy
of 0.001 in. or 0.02 mm, a micrometer can be used to measure the distance over
the wires.

For threads requiring greater accuracy an electronic comparator
should be used to measure the distance over the wires.
In the three-wire method, three wires of equal diameter are placed in the
thread; two on one side and one on the other side (Fig. 1.6). The wires used
should be hardened and lapped to three times the accuracy of the thread to be
inspected. A standard micrometer may then be used to measure the distance
over the wires. For greatest accuracy, the best size wire should be used.

Figure 1.6 Three wire method
The hard round bars (wire) with the same size are positioned opposite to
the screw thread groove shown in the diagram above. The distance is measured
between the outside of the round bars. The most suitable wire size is 0.57735p.
In Fig. 1.7 P is the pitch of the screw thread. The suitable wire size is quite hard
to get, usually a size bigger than 0.57735p wire size will be used.

1.4.1. Best Size Wires.
Wires which touch the thread at the pitch diameter are known as
"Best Size" Wires. Such wires are used because the measurements of
pitch diameter are least affected by errors that may be present in the
angle of the thread.
The above analysis for the distance over wires holds good provided
the wire touches the thread somewhere on its right side, and provided the
thread angle is correct. The extremes of wire sizes which touch on the
straight sides and which can be measured are shown at (a) and (c),

An optical comparator or shadowgraph (Fig. 1.10a and 1.10b) projects an
enlarge shadow onto a screen where it may be compared to lines or to a master
from which indicates the limits of the dimensions or the contour of the part being
The optical comparator is a fast, accurate means of measuring or
comparing the work piece with a master. It is often used when the work piece is
difficult to check by other method. Optical comparators are particularly suited
for checking extremely small or odd-shaped parts, which would be difficult to
inspect without the use of expensive gauges.
Optical comparators are available in bench and floor models, which are
identical in principle and operation. Light from a lamp passes through a
condenser lens and is projected against the work piece. The shadow caused by
the work piece is transmitted through a projecting lens system, which magnifies
the image and casts it onto a mirror. The image is then reflected to the viewing
screen and is further magnified in this process.
The extent of the image magnification depends on the lens used.
Interchangeable lenses for optical comparators are available in the following
magnifications: 5 x, 10 x, 31.25 x, 50 x, 62.5 x, 90 x, 100 x, and 125 x.
A comparator chart or master form mounted on the viewing screen is used
to compare the accuracy of the enlarged image of the work piece being inspected.
Charts are usually made of translucent material, such as cellulose acetate or
frosted glass. Many different charts are available for special jobs, but the most
commonly used are linear-measuring, radius, and angular charts.
protractor screen is also available for checking angles.

measuring of dimensions in both direction; and gauge blocks, measuring rods,

of the work piece may be checked by a surface illuminator, which lights up the
face of work piece adjacent to the projecting lens system and permits this image

Note: If the threaded angle is not correct or square with the centre line,
adjust the vernier protractor chart to measure the angle of the thread
image.
Other dimensions of the threads, and width of flats, may be
measured with micrometer measuring stages or devices such as rods,
gauge blocks and indicators.

SELF-ASSESSMENT 1
1. Calculate the effective diameter of M35 x 5.5 threads by using three wire
method. The distance between wires is 35.60 mm.
Used formula E = M – 3d + 0.866P ;
when d = 0.577P and P = pitch.
Sketch the measurement setup.
2. Using the ‘best’ wire sizes, determine the distance over wires for (a)
Whitworth, (b) M 20 x 2.5 ISO metric threads.
