    Added an answer on December 14, 2021 at 1:59 pm

    Accumulation of any substances in the air in the sufficient concentration to effect man, animals, vegetation or other materials is called air pollution. Water pollution is defined as the presence of various types of impurities that tends to degrade its quality and either constitutes a health hazardRead more

    Accumulation of any substances in the air in the sufficient concentration to effect man, animals, vegetation or other materials is called air pollution.

    Water pollution is defined as the presence of various types of impurities that tends to degrade its quality and either constitutes a health hazard or otherwise decrease the utility of water.

    Sources of water pollution

    Natural: Soil erosion, solutions of mineral in water, rain water, storms, earthquake. seawater intrusion, dust/dirt falling from atmosphere, deposition of animal wastes and fallen leaves, etc.

    Man made: Due to agriculture, sewage, wastes, industry

    Mitigation measures of water pollution

    • Treatment of sewage
    • Treatment of industrial waste
    • Providing training and technical facilities in industry to treat waste water
    • Not using water source for discharging sewage
    • Rules and regulations for controlling pollution
    • Proper planning of towns

    Emission of Green house gases is the main cause of climate change. Green house gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gas, etc. These gases are produced primarily through the burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), solid waste and trees and wood products but alsoRead more

    Emission of Green house gases is the main cause of climate change. Green house gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gas, etc. These gases are produced primarily through the burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), solid waste and trees and wood products but also deforestation and soil degradation add carbon dioxide  to the atmosphere and re-growth of forest can be supplemented b y conserving them. Following points describe national parks and conservation area important in Nepal as an effective strategy to reduce green house gas emission:

    • Control on deforestation will achieved, which make people to rely on other means of energy such as bio gas for daily activities such as for cooking food, which automatic results reduction in GHG.
    • It helps to promote of renewable energy.
    • Conservation on biodiversity through national parks help to make environment healthy.
    • People can travel, trek, spend time and get enjoyment based on machinery engine will not be used in vast amount and emission of automobiles reduces.
    • Concept of national park and conservation area helps to develop concept and awareness about environment protection.

    What are the differences between a venturimeter and an orificemeter?

    kirpathapa Beginner
    Added an answer on December 14, 2021 at 1:46 pm

    The main differences between a venturimeter and orifice meter are: i) The venturimeter can be used for measuring the flow rates of all incompressible flows; whereas orifice meters are generally used for measuring flow rates of liquids. ii) Venturimeter is installed in pipeline only and flow continueRead more

    The main differences between a venturimeter and orifice meter are:

    i) The venturimeter can be used for measuring the flow rates of all incompressible flows; whereas orifice meters are generally used for measuring flow rates of liquids.

    ii) Venturimeter is installed in pipeline only and flow continues through the pipeline. In orifice meter, the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and jet discharges freely into open atmosphere.

    iii) In venturimeter, the flow velocity is measured by noting the pressure difference between the inlet and throat of venturimeter, whereas in the orifice meter, the discharge velocity is measured by using pilot-tube or by trajectory method.

  4. Asked: December 14, 2021In: Civil Engineering

    Explain remedial measure against slope failure problems.

    kirpathapa Beginner
    Added an answer on December 14, 2021 at 1:42 pm

    Generally the stability of slope can be enhanced by the different types of corrective measures: i) Flattering the slope due to which tendency for soil mass to slide is reduced. ii) Providing a berm below the toe of the slope helps to increase the resistance to the movement of the soil from the slopeRead more

    Generally the stability of slope can be enhanced by the different types of corrective measures:

    i) Flattering the slope due to which tendency for soil mass to slide is reduced.

    ii) Providing a berm below the toe of the slope helps to increase the resistance to the movement of the soil from the slope. It is especially useful when there is a possibility of a base failure.

    iii) Drainage helps in reducing the seepage forces and hence increase the stability.

    iv) Densification by use of explosives, vibrofloatation,etc. helps in increasing the shear strength of cohesion less soil and thus increasing the stability.

    v) Consolidation by surcharging or other methods helps in increasing the stability of slopes.

    vi) Grouting and injection of cement or other compounds into specific zones help in increasing the stability of slopes.

    vii) Sheet piles and retaining walls can be installed to provide lateral supported and to increase the stability.

    viii) Stabilization of the soil helps in increasing the stability of slopes.

    ix) Planting the surface of the slope is beneficial to protect the slope against shallow slides.

    A curve which is plotted between the water content as abscissa and the corresponding dry density as ordinate is known as compaction curve.

    Salient features of compaction curves are:

    i) The curve is usually of a hyperbolic form when the points obtained from the tests are smoothly joined.

    ii) The peak point of compaction curve is the point with the maximum dry density, corresponding to maximum dry density is water content is known as optimum water content.

    iii) At water content lower the O.M.C. the soil is rather stiff and has lot of void spaces and therefore dry density is low.

    iv) Water content beyond the O.M.C. reduces the dry density because the extra water start occupying the space which otherwise could have been occupied by soil grains under compaction.

    Explain, how the effect of well movement directs the type of earth pressure in designing the retaining wall?

    The design of structure like retaining wall requires the knowledge of the earth pressure acting on the back of the wall because of the soil backfill in contact with it. The amount of the earth pressure against the wall depends on how the wall moves relative to the soil mass.

    When there is no wall movement at all i.e., zero movement tendency of wall then corresponding earth pressure is called earth pressure at rest. When the retaining wall has tendency to move outward from the backfill and it gives expansion of soil mass making the soil as loose and makes failure of the soil. In this condition, the failure wedge moves downward. The pressure acting on wall at this failure condition is known as active earth pressure. Since, wall moves away from the backfill earth pressure decreases and approaches to minimum value. When the wall has tendency to move towards the backfill it compress the soil behind the retaining structure and makes the failure of the soil. In this condition, the failure wedge moves upward due to maximum compressive pressure. The pressure at this plastic failure condition is known as passive earth pressure. The pressure at this plastic failure condition is known as passive earth pressure. Since, the wall pushes against the soil mass and thus higher earth pressure is developed.

    Define Triangulation and Trilateration.

    kirpathapa Beginner
    Added an answer on December 14, 2021 at 1:20 pm

    Triangulation is a method of surveying that is based on the trigonometric proposition that if one side and three angles of a triangle are known, the remaining sides can be computed. Furthermore, if the direction of one side is known, the direction of the remaining sides can be determined. TrilateratRead more

    Trilateration is process of determining absolute or relative locations of points by measurement of distances using the geometry of circles, spheres of triangles.
