Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines are field lines in a fluid flow. They differ only when the flow changes with time, that is when the flow is not steady. Dye steadily injected into the fluid at a fixed point extends along a streakline. Pathlines are the trajectories that individual fluid particles follow.
Ductility of Buildings is a key virtue. Ductility is the ability to prolong yielding or in simple words, prolonging deformation and failure.Why should we prolong yielding of steel?As we know, we design...
Atterberg's Limits are proposed by US crop Engineer Atterberg. These are water contents which assert the soil behaviour.
1. Liquid Limit
2. Plastic Limit
3. Shrinkage Limit.
Liquid Limit: It is...
As per IS.456, the total deflection including the long term deflections need to be limited to Span/250,Span/350 or 20mm.
This includes elastic deflections(which can be retrieved from software or easily...
Earthquake means ground movement and this movement induces an inertia in the building and this results in displacement. So the main factors that depend on the earthquake force is the acceleration of ground...
