Write about properties of fresh Concrete on at least 3 pages A4 size.

Evidence is fairly strong that chlorine, used for wastewater disinfection, combines with organic material in wastewater to form trihalomethane and other disinfection byproducts that are suspected human carcinogens. Despite this health risk, chlorine remains the predominant disinfection method. Explain why.

For Broad crested weir Experiment:

i. Does the magnitude of the flow-rate affect the discharge coefficient Cd?

ii. Does Cd increase or decrease with increasing flow-rate?
iii. What is the pattern of the water as it passes over the weir?
iv. Would you expect the length of the weir crest to affect the discharge coefficient Cd?
v. What is the effect of drowning the weir (increasing the downstream depth)?

Q1) Trusses are made up of top and bottom ...? that resist tension and compression due to bending and triangulated …? members that resist shear.

Q2) In general, the longer the load pathfrom point of application to the foundation, and the greater the number of elements involved along that path, the greater the efficiencyand economy of the structure.

TRUE OR FLASE

Q3) The magnitude of the distributed load on a beam is dictated by its span.

TRUE OR FALSE

Q4)Moment of inertia and beam capacity are increased when cross-sectional area is shifted away from the neutral axis.

TRUE OR FALSE
