Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation, especially the Earth. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography, land surveying and most Earth Science disciplines (for example, hydrology, ecology, meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, geology); it also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications.

Digital Communication

Digital communication is the process of devices communicating information digitally. This tutorial helps the readers to get a good idea on how the signals are digitized and why digitization is needed. By the completion of this tutorial, the reader will be able to understand the conceptual details involved in digital communication.

Strength of materials-P2(Thin and Thick Cylinders)

Strength of materials, also called mechanics of materials, is a subject which deals with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains. The complete theory began with the consideration of the behavior of one and two dimensional members of structures, whose states of stress can be approximated as two dimensional, and was then generalized to three dimensions to develop a more complete theory of the elastic and plastic behavior of materials. An important founding pioneer in mechanics of materials was Stephen Timoshenko. This course talks about thin and thick cylinders

Engg. Geology -P2 (Rocks as construction Materials)

This is the second part of Engg. Geology, which deals with mainly rocks as construction materials. Engineering geology is the application of the geology to engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and various types of structures. The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made structures and human activities.

Limit state Analysis of beams

The combination of Finite Element Method and Limit State Method is one of the important problems of non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The paper considers the representation of limit state of structures in accordance with the logic of Finite Element Method and the definition of properties of separate finite elements by limit state analysis. This problem is solved by means of specially created additional finite elements for taking account of each type of limit states of the main finite element. A definition of properties of the additional concrete triangular deep-beam finite element are presented. This element describes the limit state of the main finite element in an analysis of reinforced concrete structures at the plane stress-strain state.

Moment distribution method

The moment distribution method is a structural analysis method for statically indeterminate beams and frames developed by Hardy Cross. It was published in 1930 in an ASCE journal.[1] The method only accounts for flexural effects and ignores axial and shear effects. From the 1930s until computers began to be widely used in the design and analysis of structures, the moment distribution method was the most widely practiced method.

Settlements (Foundation, Immediate etc.)

Settlement in a structure refers to the distortion or disruption of parts of a building due to unequal compression of its foundations; shrinkage, such as that which occurs in timber-framed buildings as the frame adjusts its moisture content; or undue loads being applied to the building after its initial construction.[1] Settlement should not be confused with subsidence which results from the load-bearing ground upon which a building sits reducing in level, for instance in areas of mine workings where shafts collapse underground.

Uniform flow in nan open Channel Hydraulics

Open-channel flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a conduit with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: the free surface. Open-channel flow has a free surface, whereas pipe flow does not.

Deflection Engineering (Beams)

In engineering, deflection is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load. It may refer to an angle or a distance. The deflection distance of a member under a load is directly related to the slope of the deflected shape of the member under that load, and can be calculated by integrating the function that mathematically describes the slope of the member under that load. Deflection can be calculated by standard formula (will only give the deflection of common beam configurations and load cases at discrete locations), or by methods such as virtual work, direct integration, Castigliano's method, Macaulay's method or the direct stiffness method, amongst others. The deflection of beam elements is usually calculated on the basis of the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation while that of a plate or shell element is calculated using plate or shell theory.

Matrix Method

Matrix method. The matrix method is a structural analysis method used as a fundamental principle in many applications in civil engineering. The method is carried out, using either a stiffness matrix or a flexibility matrix. "The flexibility method is not conducive to computer programming"
