DEWATERING

 What is dewatering and why dewatering is important? You never know that. But if you are an experience enough you are cleared with this term. But if you are studying in college and not visited any site then you may never know this. But by the way if you are a farmer's son then you might have used this machine. 

Dewatering is necessary if the foundation pit is full of water and no PCC or sand filling can be provided. If the water is present it will lead to the accommodation of water. No work will be done properly and there will be lot of tension. So to empty the water mechanical water pump is used for dewatering. So that the excavation pit remains empty with water and the work can be done easily. 




As the water is poured inside the pump it opens up through the valve. But be careful no air should remain inside or trapped into the machine. Otherwise the machine will give problem. After pouring all the water in the pump, the mouth is kept hold for few seconds of the machine so that no air enters in it. And it is hold until the machine gives starts. The mechanical turbine is rotated with the help of a handle and it gives a blowout pressure as the water comes out. The main thing of using this water pump is to clear out the excavation water.

Moreover in some foundations water remains, but it will longer time to clear out the water. So by keeping little amount of water on the base of the excavation the brick soiling and PCC work is done. But that's not good. Then also what to do because after clearing out the ground water then also it remains same after 1 to 2 hours. Because the water level rises up and up.

How to edit grid systems in Etabs

 Okk in the last blog I had discussed about Etabs for beginners. You have got at least some ideas about it. If you have not seen it then click here . But here I am going to discuss how you will edit Grids/Columns in Etabs. As I had said by clicking on "Modify/Show Grid Systems" option a new dialog box appears, their you can edit anything. But you can also do it by different way. On the left side in grid dimensions (plan) you can see that two options are available. One is "Uniform Grid Spacing" and the other is "Custom Grid Spacing". Click on the "Custom Grid Spacing" and you see that Edit Grid Data option is available. Just click on that, and you can edit it as you want by giving the required dimensions in X-axis and Y-axis only. Ok whatever be lets come to the topic. If you have done it like as I have shown earlier then follow those steps. And the one who were new to this blog this is just for that. That's why I underlined with BLUE line an...

So let us learn about this excavation part.  You all know excavation work is done by JCB or Falkland. To excavate the soil and then carry it to the other dumped areas. But before excavation you all know, to marked the center line as well as the outer line also so that the area doesn't excavate much as per the requirement. For excavation just you need to take 500mm more, then that of the given drawing.  Doing this excavation is easy. But what to do if it's flooded with rain water/ or water coming from other sources. Definitely your answer will be to do dewatering work with a water pump. That's fine. But do this dewatering work with almost by fixing 3-4 water pumps. So that it soaks...
