    Settlement of Soil while Digging

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: While digging of soft soil, collapse of soil takes place. When load of man is more than bearing strengthof soft soil, the soil will settle down. Hence bearing strength of mud soil is found at a particular depthand this is compared with load coming due to man. If weight of man is more as compared to bearingstrength of wet soil, the settlement will occur. The process of excavation in soft …

    Ensuring the Protection of Flood Embankments: A Vital Necessity

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: In the face of flooding events, safeguarding flood embankments becomes imperative. These situationsoften involve rivers with significant water depth and velocity, leading to the exertion of considerablethrust due to the presence of standing water and the flow's speed. These embankments are typicallyconstructed using compacted non-cohesive soil. To prevent erosion of the embankment, it is crucial thatthe thrust of water applied to it remains within the bearing capacity limits of the …

    Managing Pavement Settlement Risk: Impact of Waterlogging and Soil Conditions

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: In the context of road infrastructure, the occurrence of waterlogging due to rainfall can have significant repercussions. Rainwater often infiltrates the road surface and, depending on factors such as the depth of the foundation and the extent of penetration into the ground, can lead to the soil beneath the road becoming either moist or saturated. This, in turn, can result in a reduction of the soil's bearing capacity. When vehicles …

    ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF R.C.C. BRIDGE

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: The thickness of pier is found taking width of deck slab variable, width of girder, depth of girder variable. The thickness of any structure gives flexural rigidity against bending. Span of girder also taken variable. More bending is taken when more loads on the structure & flexural rigidity mainly depends upon thickness of the structure. The design and analysis of R.C.C. bridges involve careful consideration of various factors, including the …

    Assessment of Scouring of Bank of River

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: The thrust of water due to standing water and velocity of flow are taken. In flood cases, more depth of water and more velocity are to be taken and it is seen whether the embankment is safe or not. The maximum velocity of flow = 1.2 d taken where d is the depth of flow of water. The bearing strength of the soil of the embankment should be taken against …

    Assessment of Deflection for Deck Slab Bridge

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: The deflection of deck slab is found with respect to bending stress and normal stress and compared with its permissible value. Span of the deck slab plays an important role in deflection. As span increases more bending takes place hence we get more deflection against bending stress. Also normal stress increases due to increase in span since more load is involved. Width of deck slab is kept constant and span …

    Assessment of Railway Steel Girder Bridge of Two Tracks

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: Relationship for load of train and depth of steel girder is established in different forms. Also, the depth of steel girder is found for maximum applied load (W = 60 t; i.e., load of one bogie of train). The flexural strength requirement is to be taken into account. Also, the depth of girder is taken to be const and span between two piers, width of pier is to be found. …

    ASSESSMENT OF BUILDING AGAINST FLOOD

    By Birendra Kumar Singh

    Abstract: Flood problem is vital problem for building, railway track, highway etc. Thrust of water due to standing water & velocity of flow taken place on building i.e. above G.L. & below G.L. due to percolation of water. If 70 cm thick layer of silty sand is spread all around the building the percolation of water below G.L. is prevented. Here analysis is made due to thrust taking place of water …
