Steel Bridge Manufacturer In India – Helping Shape the Country’s Infrastructure.

Steel is one of the most reliable and sturdy construction material used for building long span bridges. The properties of strength, ductility, toughness and fatigue offered by steel makes it a just the perfect material for constructing modern bridges that can withstand diverse weather conditions. From small foot over bridges to multi-span and multi-deck bridges and sleek flyovers, there is a wide scope of opportunities for a steel bridges manufacturer in India. Listed below are just some of the advantages of steel which make it a preferred choice for bridge construction in India.

 

Fast Construction: 
                                     Building bridges using steel ensures that the construction work is carried out at a much faster pace. This is because unlike the concrete bridges, long time spans are not required for stetting of the slabs before the construction process can proceed on to the next stage.

 

Minimal Disturbance: 
                                            Constructions of steel bridges proves highly advantageous for the general public, especially in cities and towns. This is because steel does not produce the usual dirt and dust that is an integral part of building the usual concrete bridges. Moreover, the rapid pace of construction ensures minimal disturbance to everyday vehicular movement and traffic woes.

 

Enhanced Safety: 
                                 Steel bridges offer a much higher level of safety in the face of natural calamities such as thunderstorms and earthquakes. Moreover, given the strength and durability of the material, these bridges also provide the assurance of a really long life irrespective of the consistently increasing density of traffic.  

 

Eco Friendly: 
                               They are a completely eco-friendly as do not cause any significant damage to the local surroundings or lead to long term environmental ramifications. Most importantly they cause minimal pollution even during the construction phase neither dust nor any harmful chemicals into the atmosphere during or after they are built.

 

Cost Effective: 
                                 Steel bridges prove to be an extremely cost effective option as they are not only completed mush faster than the traditional concrete bridges but also last much longer.

Lane’s Weighted Creep Theory

Image
Bligh, in his theory, had calculated the length of the creep, by simply adding the horizontal creep length and the vertical creep length, thereby making no distinction between the two creeps. However, Lane, on the basis of his analysis carried out on about 200 dams all over the world, stipulated that the horizontal creep is less effective in reducing uplift (or in causing loss of head) than the vertical creep. He, therefore, suggested a weightage factor of 1/3 for the horizontal creep, as against 1.0 for the vertical creep. Thus in Fig–1,  the total Lane’s creep length (L l ) is given by L l = (d 1 + d 1 ) + (1/3) L 1 + (d 2 + d 2 ) + (1/3) L 2 + (d 3 + d 3 ) = (1/3) (L 1 + L 2 ) + 2(d 1 + d 2 + d 3 ) = (1/3) b + 2(d 1 + d 2 + d 3 ) To ensure safety against piping, according to this theory, the creep length Ll must no be less than C1H L , where H L is the head causing flow, and C 1 is Lane’s creep coefficient given in table –2 Table – 2: V

Khosla’s Method of independent variables for determination of pressures and exit gradient for seepage below a weir or a barrage

Image
In order to know as to how the seepage below the foundation of a hydraulic structure is taking place, it is necessary to plot the flow net. In other words, we must solve the Laplacian equations. This can be accomplished either by mathematical solution of the Laplacian equations, or by Electrical analogy method, or by graphical sketching by adjusting the streamlines and equipotential lines with respect to the boundary conditions. These are complicated methods and are time consuming. Therefore, for designing hydraulic structures such as weirs or barrage or pervious foundations, Khosla has evolved a simple, quick and an accurate approach, called Method of Independent Variables. In this method, a complex profile like that of a weir is broken into a number of simple profiles; each of which can be solved mathematically. Mathematical solutions of flow nets for these simple standard profiles have been presented in the form of equations given in Figure  and curves given in Plate, wh

What is Soil in Geotechnical Engineering.

Image
Definition of Soil The word ‘soil’ is derived from the Latin word solium which, according to Webster’s dictionary, means the upper layer of the earth that may be dug or plowed; specifically, the loose surface material of earth in which the plants grow. The above definition of soil is used in the field of agronomy (The application of soil and plant sciences to land management and crop production) where the main concern is in the use of soil for raising crops. In geology, earth’s crust is assumed to consist of unconsolidated sediments, called mantle or regolith, overlying rocks. The top soil contains a large quantity of organic matter and is not suitable as a construction material or as a foundation for structure. The top soil is removed from the earth’s surface before the construction of structure. The term ‘ soil ’ in the soil engineering is defined as an unconsolidated material , composed of solid particles , produced by the disintegration of rocks . The void space
