Penetration resistance tests on solid offers a method for deciding relative qualities of cement in a similar structure or relative quality of various structures. In view of nature of types of gear, it cannot and ought not be relied upon to yield total estimations of quality. ASTM C-803 gives this standard test strategy titled “Penetration […]
Read More →Pelton Wheel or Pelton Turbine refers to the Tangential Flow Impulse Turbine. This Turbine is basically utilized for High Heads and it was named after its creator, L.A.Pelton. The water strikes the container alongside the curvature of the tangent of the runner. The energy obtainable at the inlet of the turbine is just Kinetic […]
Read More →Kaplan Turbine refers to the Axial Flow Reaction Turbine. For Axial Flow Turbines, the water passes through the runner alongside the course similar to the axis of rotation of the runner. Reaction Turbine refers to the water at the inlet of the Turbine retains Kinetic Energy and additionally Pressure Energy as well. In case of […]

The Earthquake Problem Seriousness of ground shaking at a given area amid an earthquake can be minor, direct and very strong. Generally, minor shaking happens every now and again, direct shaking infrequently and strong shaking once in a while. For example, all things considered every year around 800 earthquakes of extent 5.0-5.9 happen on the […]
