METHOD OF SANITATION

Conservancy system:
• This is old system in which various types of wastes, such as night soil, garbage etc are collected separately in a vessels or deposited in a pools or pits and then removed periodically at least once in 24 hours.
• The conservancy system is highly unhygienic and causes insanitary condition.
• Transportation of night soil takes place in open carts through street and other crowded localities, this is highly undesirable.
• The working of the system entirely depend on the mercy of labour if they go on strike at least one day foul matter start creating smell which highly unhygienic.
• In present day world, when men has progressed much it is highly humiliating to ask human being to transport night soil in pails on their head.

Water carriage system:
• In this system, collection and conveyance and disposal of various wastes re carried out with the help of water.
• Thus water is used as a medium to convey the waste from its point of production to point of final disposal.
• Sufficient quantity of water is required to be mixed with waste so that dilution ratio is so great that the mixture may flow just like water.
• This system is very hygienic as night soil and other waste carried out through closed conduit which is not directly exposed to atmosphere.
• There is no chance of outbreak of epidemic because files & other insect do not have direct access to the sewage.
• The labour required for the operation and maintenance is extremely small.
• Initial cost of installation of this system is very high, the running cost are very small.

NOTCHES AND WEIRs

Image
   NOTCH ,WEIR AND ITS TYPES Notch A  notch  may be defined as an obstruction over which the flow of liquid occurs   In case of measuring tank or reservoir, the opening is provided at the side of the tank such that the liquid surface in the tank is below the top edge of the opening. Weir A  weir  is a notch on a large scale used for measuring the flow of a river, canal etc. It is a concrete or masonry structure of substantial breadth built across the river in the direction of flow. This allows the excess water to flow over its entire length to the downstream side. Thus a weir is similar to a small dam constructed across the river, with a difference that the excess water flows downstream only through a small portion called  spillway  and in case of weir, the excess water flows over its entire length. Nappe and crest The sheet of water flowing through a notch or over a weir is known as  nappe  or  vein . The bott...

THE BASICS OF REBAR: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS

Image
 THE BASICS OF REBAR: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS The Basics of Rebar If you have ever wondered what gives strength and stability to the concrete structures that we see around us, the answer is (most commonly) rebar. Rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is the steel rods that are embedded in concrete that provide tensile strength to what is actually and prevent cracking. Rebar comes in different shapes and sizes, but the most common type is deformed steel rebar, which has ridges or indentations along its surface to create a better bond with the concrete. Deformed steel rebar has been used in the construction industry for over a century, and it has revolutionised the way we build. With rebar, and using elements such as beams,  beam ties , rebar mesh, and reinforced walls, we can create taller, stronger, and more durable structures that can withstand natural disasters, environmental changes, and human activities. Some of the most iconic buildings in the world, such as...
