Granite Flooring – Advantages and Disadvantages Natural stone flooring has long been regarded as a high-end material, adorning the hallways and lobbies of mansions, great hotels, and skyscrapers.  Granite is one of the most popular choices among these gorgeous and durable materials, as it is one of the strongest and longest-lasting flooring options available. While more frequently associated with worktops and backsplashes, Granite is also an excellent flooring option. Granite is a perfect choice if you want something that is both attractive and durable, as well as an investment in your home and property. Granite is a popular building material among homeowners looking for a beautiful worktop for their kitchen or bathroom, but it is commonly overlooked as a flooring option. Granite tiles should be installed on your floors even if you choose engineered stone or laminate for your countertops. Many home builders limit the use of granite to worktops due to the aesthetic effect, yet they will

  A reciprocating pump converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. It does it by sucking liquid inside a stationary cylinder using thrust, a piston or a plunger. Reciprocating pumps are also called positive displacement pumps or piston pumps because of the use of a piston or plunger during pumping . Reciprocating pumps are used  where a precise amount of fluid is required to be delivered , also where the delivery pressure required is higher than can be achieved with other types. The fluid is moved by the means of a piston that travels in a cylinder. The piston of a reciprocating piston pump goes back and forth in a cylinder. With the help of a connecting rod, the piston is connected to the crankshaft.   The connecting rod moves as the crankshaft rotates, causing this piston to move. Types of Reciprocating Pumps Single-acting reciprocating pump: This has one suction valve and one discharge valve. Double-acting reciprocating pump: Unlike a single acting pump, here

  1.       Main canal The main canal takes off directly from a river or reservoir. It carries water in large amounts to feed the branch and distributaries canals. Due to conveying of very high discharge through the main canal it is not recommended to do direct irrigation from it. 2.       Branch Canal   The branch canal takes off from main canals at regular intervals. These canals supply water to major and minor distributor’s canals.   The discharge of the branch canal is generally over 5 m3 /sec. 3.       Major Distributary Canal   Major distributary canal takes off from the branch canal or in some cases from the main canal. They supply water to minor distributaries and field channels.   A canal is said to be major distributary when its discharge lies between 0.25 to 5 m3 /sec.     Minor Distributary Canal Minor distributary canal takes off from major distributaries and sometimes directly from branch canals depending upon the discharge of canals.   Their discharge is generally below 0

S amuli Naamanka, Interior Architect, inventor and founding father of Graphic Concrete, became interested in concrete as a building material when working on a factory extension project in the late 1990’s. At that point, Naamanka was still unfamiliar with concrete and its properties. In order to learn more, he enrolled in a course on concrete applications at the Helsinki University of Art and Design (UIAH) in 1996. The aim of the course was to examine new look of concrete, and the outcome was a design for the Pikku Huopalahti Concrete Park in Helsinki. At UIAH he further studied the aesthetic values of concrete as a facade material and how to treat the concrete surface in an industrially viable way. This resulted in a new method of creating patterned concrete surfaces, Graphic Concrete, which was the subject of his final thesis. This newfound technology was a special paper used in precast concrete production. The desired pattern or image was to be printed as pre-defined points with a co

When starting any project, we all see the importance of knowing the characteristics of the topographic surface before beginning work on an architectural or engineering plan. One of the first steps to follow before we can start designing a new building is knowing these constraints and, for that, we must conduct a topographical study. Once that is done, we will be able to know the physical and morphological features of the surface of our area. However, since we have begun working with  BIM  tools, we need to integrate some of this information of our  Revit  model in order to better visualize our surface. For that, the software provides the “topo surface” tool for us to use. Once we completed the topographical study, we will have created a new database about our topography, which we must somehow import into our model.  Revit  offers us three ways -which you can apply through  all Revit templates – to do that: selecting points and specifying their elevations (point insertion), importing da

Grasscrete – Types and Advantages Grasscrete is an permeable paving system that allows the grass to grow between steel-reinforced concrete, mimicking natural processes and allowing rainwater to seep into the soil. Grasscrete is one of the ecological pavements methods where instead of the plain paving surface, vegetation or grass is grown on the surface, which gives an appealing look to pavements or driveways. Grasscrete consists of a reinforced cellular cast on-site concrete on that one can grow natural grass by filling those voids with either soil or stones. These voids are created with the help of plastic formers (generally called moulds). It is ideal for low-traffic areas such as car parking, driveways, pathways, etc. This type of pavement is widely adopted in major cities and modern designs because of its aesthetically appealing and environmentally favorable.
