This book was released on 2023-11-19 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era defined by rapid urbanization and the pressing need for efficient, sustainable transportation solutions, the emergence of metro rail systems stands as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. As cities continue to expand and populations grow, the need for efficient, sustainable, and reliable modes of transportation becomes ever more pressing. Metro rail systems have emerged as a solution to the challenges posed by congestion, pollution, and limited urban space. These systems represent the culmination of decades of engineering prowess, incorporating cutting-edge technologies and forward-thinking design principles. The engineering marvel that is the metro rail system addresses these challenges head-on, revolutionizing urban mobility and reshaping the urban landscape. At the behest of the students, I tried to design this book primarily to provide clear-cut, contemporary, and stimulating text with a lot of sketches and photos of Kolkata Metro construction in a convenient form for the final-year Civil Engineering students. An attempt has been made to provide a quite modern and up-to-date coverage of the art of civil engineering which is changing by the day. This book has been divided into Five Modules, namely ‘Overview of Metro Systems’, ’Civil Engineering’,’ Mechanical and HVAC’, ‘Brief on Electronics & Communication Engineering’ and ‘Brief on Electrical Engineering’ covering 17 Chapters with questions and answers at the end of each Module in line with AICTE/ MAKAUT syllabi. Richly illustrated with diagrams, photographs, and architectural renderings, "Urban Arteries" offers a visual feast for readers interested in the intersection of engineering and urban development. I have sourced various details, specifications, and data made publicly available by Indian Metro Rail, and Kolkata Metro Rail on the web. This book is crafted to be a guiding light for aspiring civil engineering students who seek to unravel the complexities of metro railway systems. It serves as a comprehensive exploration of the principles, methodologies, and multidisciplinary facets that converge to create these marvels of modern engineering. By reorganizing and expanding upon the provided content, the book offers a comprehensive guide to metro systems and engineering, covering various aspects including planning, civil engineering, electronics, mechanical systems, and electrical systems. The content aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in designing, constructing, and operating modern metro systems in urban environments

Download or read book Weathering for Railway Modellers written by George Dent and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once seen as a niche practice, the craft of weathering has now become firmly rooted in the railway modelling mainstream. Not simply a means of rendering models in layers of dirty paint, weathering involves a myriad of techniques aimed at improving realism, including distinctive surface textures, highlights and shading, burnishing and peeling paint finishes. The weathering process brings out the best in a model, making moulded relief or a lustrous livery really stand out. As well as replicating the real world more closely, weathering also helps a model to look at home within a scenic setting. Aimed at modellers of all abilities and eras, this book is an essential guide to creating the most realistic locomotives and rolling stock in any scale. It includes: a guide to tools, paints, washes, dry pigments and other innovative media; the correct techniques for model preparation; a wide range of techniques for wagons, carriages, locomotives and multiple units in any scale; how to replicate authentic surface textures and effects, from polished surfaces to corroded metal and worn timber; how to bring models to life with faded paintwork, peeling and chipped finishes and subtle highlights and shading; the secret to successful airbrushing. This book will be of great interest to railway modellers of varying abilities, particularly those interested in rolling stock and locomotives, and is fully illustrated with 660 colour photographs.
