ASSESSMENT OF BUILDING AGAINST FLOOD

  1. 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 below G.L. & velocity of water. Above G.L. the thrust exerted by water is sustained by brick masonry which strength is 6 kg/cm2.  Below G.L. the soil may be sandy or clayey.
