Retaining walls are used to retain earth (or other material) in a vertical position at locations where an abrupt change in ground level occurs.
The walls therefore prevents the retained earth from assuming its natural angle of repose.
EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES & TYPES OF RETAINING WALL.pptxNaqeeb Khan Niazi
Earth retaining structures are built to retain a soil mass and create a difference in level between the ground surface located downstream and the ground surface located upstream of the structure, supported by the structure, usually to gain usable space.This is usually done by placing a fill behind the retaining structure (in elevation or embanking), or by extracting soil in front of the structure (in excavation or emptying), or by performing a combination of the two operations of emptying and embanking at the same time.

Liquid limit is the water content where the soil starts to behave as a liquid. Liquid limit is measured by placing a clay sample in a standard cup and making a separation (groove) using a spatula. The cup is dropped till the separation vanishes. The water content of the soil is obtained from this sample.
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.

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.

67. RETAINING WALL
• Retaining walls are structures used to provide stability for earth or other
materials at their natural slopes. In general, they are used to hold back or
support soil banks and water or to maintain difference in the elevation of the
ground surface on each of wall sides. Also,
• retaining walls are often used:
• in the construction of buildings having basements,
• roads or bridges when it is necessary to retain embankments or earth in a relatively
vertical position.
• Retaining walls are commonly supported by soil (or rock) underlying the base slab, or
supported on piles as in case of bridge abutments and where water may erode or undercut
the base soil as in water front structures.
68. TYPES OF RETAINING WALLS
Gravity retaining walls are constructed of plain concrete or stone masonry.
They depend mostly on their own weight and any soil resting on the wall for
stability. This type of construction is not economical for walls higher than 3m.
69. Semi-gravity retaining walls
Semi-gravity retaining walls are
modification of gravity wall in
which small amounts of
reinforcing steel are introduced
for minimizing the wall section.
70. Cantilever retaining walls
• Cantilever retaining walls are the
most common type of retaining walls
and are generally used for wall high
up to 8m. It derives its name from
the fact that its individual parts
behave as, and are designed as,
cantilever beams. Its stability is a
function of strength of its individual
parts.
71. Counterfort retaining walls
• Counterfort retaining walls are similar to
cantilever retaining walls, at regular
intervals, however, they have thin vertical
concrete slabs behind the wall known as
counterforts that tie the wall and base slab
together and reduce the shear and
bending moment. They are economical
when the wall height exceeds 8m.
Whereas, if bracing is in front of the wall
and is in compression instead of tension,
the wall is called Buttress retaining wall.
72. Bridge abutments
• Bridge abutments
are special type of
retaining walls, not
only containing the
approach fill, but
serving as a support
for the bridge
superstructure.
73. Crib walls or coffer dams
• Crib walls or coffer dams
are cells or units to be
filled with soil or built-up
members of pieces of
precast concrete or metal
and are supported by
anchor pieces embedded
in the soil for stability.
74. Sheet pile walls
Sheet pile walls are classified as
anchored and cantilevered sheet pile
walls each kind of them may be used in
single or double sheet walls. Of these
walls, only the cantilever retaining
walls and the bridge abutments are
mostly used at present due to their great
economics.
75. Definitions ofTerms
Definitions of retaining wall parts
(i) the base slab constitutes the slab, or footing, on which the wall rests,
(ii) the stem is the wall itself, the face of the wall is either the exposed portion (front face) or the
portion against which the backfill rests (back face),
(iii) the toe is the portion of the base slab which extends beyond the front face of the wall,
(iv) the heel is that portion of the base slab which extends away from the back face of then wall.
Toe and heel are also used to denote the extreme forward and rear parts of the base slab,
respectively,
(v) a buttress is a structural member used to tie the stem to the base slab, if the buttress is in
tension, the wall is termed a counterforted wall, and if it is in compression, the wall is a
buttressed wall. However, because of front clearances and appearance, the buttressed wall is
rarely used. Retaining walls are often built with a batter on the front face sloping toward the
backfill.
