Raw water Engineering.

 Technically we understand that Raw Water Engineering is the science that where River water is transported from river to household, in city areas or municipality areas. But now a days this Raw Water is transported across all villages and mid-light areas. By irrigation purpose also or by pipe system also. 

For treatment of raw water it consists of Flocculation tank, Aeration Tank, Sedimentation, Coagulation and many other source of treatment. This water treatment plant consists of very large number of sedimentations, so it is necessary to carry out all the disinfectant particles through aeration process. 

Raw Water Engineering includes the following aspects:- 
Water Demand
Finding of Source
Water Treatment Plant
Quality of Water
Surface Reservoir
Distribution System
Pipes to carry water to Cities or Household activists.

Water Demand:- Raw Water is a water which undergoes natural treatment rather than artificial treatment. Total demand of water in any community depends of the following factors Industrial Water Demand, Institutional Water Demand, Water for Public use, Fire Demand etc.

Finding of Source:- Two sources of water can be found out and they are Surface Source and Sub-Surface Source.
Surface sources of water are such as Rivers, ponds, streams, Lakes, reservoirs etc. Mainly water is collected from river sources.
Whereas Sub-Surface sources are springs, wells, tube-wells etc. But underground water is mainly used such as tube-wells. Most of the water sources get water supplies from precipitation which may fall like rain, hail, snow etc. 

Water Treatment Plant

Water Treatment Plant:- Most commonly as I know water treatment plant is used to improve the quality of drinking water which is supplied to household properties. It includes many chemical, physical and biological processes which are used to check the quality of water. Physical treatment includes screening, aeration, flocculation, filtration, disinfection and softening process. Chemical Treatment includes chlorination, pH value 

Quality of water:-  The impurities in water are to be removed to a certain extent only so that it does not prove harmful to the public health. In here "wholesome water" is used to describe the purification of water. This wholesome water is not chemically pure but it does not contain anything which are harmful for human body, i.e., the water which contains no pathogenic bacteria, no toxic substances and no excessive organic matter. Thus the wholesomeness of water is must but the palatability of water is desirable. 
The term pure water is a relative term and it has to be interpreted in relation to the use of water. 

Surface Reservoir:- These are also known as ground or elevated reservoirs. These are constructed on the ground and are mainly used to to store water. These service is generally provided to the distribution system to store the clear treated water before it is dispatched to the consumers. 
It is usual practice to construct a surface reservoir in two compartments so that one can be used while the other is being cleaned or repaired. The two compartments are connected by each other by control valves or shut off valves or sluice valves. 
The section of Surface Reservoir made by me in AutoCAD.


Distribution System:-  Distribution of water is done by three methods and they are Gravity system, Pumping system and both gravity and pumping system combined. 
 

Gravity system of water is conveyed through pipes by gravity only. But it is useful only when the gravity source of water supply is situated at the higher level than that of distribution area. 
Pumping system of water is directly pumped into the main leadings to the consumers. The number of pumps required in this system will depend on the demand of water. 
At last Gravity and Pumping system of water is pumped and stored at elevated distribution reservoir. The excess water during low consumption remains in the elevated reservoir and it is supplied during the peak period.  


Pipes to carry water to cities or household activists:- Normally pipes are distributed through various branches of connection which vary in diameter according to use and distribution. The cost of pipeline depends upon the internal pressure to bear and the length of pipeline. Mostly these types of pipes are used:- Cement concrete pipes, Copper pipes, Galvanized iron pipes, Lead pipes, Steel pipes, cast iron pipes etc. All these types of pipes are used.

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...

How to make Staircase in Etabs

 In the last blog I had described about making beams, columns, slabs/roofs in Etabs. But I forgot to tell you how to make staircase. Apology for that. But today in this blog I am going to discuss how to make staircase in Etabs. So before making Staircase first of all delete one side of the slab by single click. But remember one thing in the story side you should have to click "All Stories" so that automatically all slabs will get deleted and required gap and positioning will be appeared.  First click on All Stories After that select one portion of slab   After that go to Edit menu and click on Delete   Then one part of the slab of each story becomes hollow So doing the following steps you can now make the staircase. As for staircase we need hollow section at the top of it, so that it's free to move. In practical field also you can't provide staircase if the roof is covered with slab. Now the main procedure begins for Etabs.  Go to define tab menu and click on Se...

WHAT IS PEDESTAL IN FOOTING ?

 During foundation you should always be careful that there is no water present in the excavation pit and the depth should be accurate. So for that you need manwork and labourers to maintain it's accuracy. So before going further for any work just be careful that the depth of foundation is accurate and no error should be made. Because the structure of a building is fully depend upon foundation. And this is general sense that the all the building loads are carried to the foundation i.e., footing.  Before doing any foundation work first of all brick soiling is to be done or sand filling. The building where high rise structures are made, sand filling is done; but the house with ground floor, brick soiling is sufficient. But from where you will get the bricks. Obviously you will have to order or bring it from bricks factory where bricks are made. And after bringing the bricks where you will placed them?  (Actually all these practical knowledge are not taught in the college so ...
