Book Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels

Download or read book Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels written by Alun Thomas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 2354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practising engineers on site, in the design office or in client organizations will find this book an excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels. The complex behaviour of the early age behaviour of the sprayed concrete requires careful management. This book covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling – from the constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management during construction. Although there is a close interdependence between all the facets of sprayed concrete, few engineers have the right breadth of experience and expertise, and this urgently needs to be transferred to the wider engineering community. Disseminating essential information for tunnelling engineers, Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels is key reading for all involved in or studying the process.

Book Selective Withdrawal System  Libby Dam  Kootenai River  Montana  Hydraulic Model Investigation

Download or read book Selective Withdrawal System Libby Dam Kootenai River Montana Hydraulic Model Investigation written by Peter McKinney Smith and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three hydraulic models were used to study elements of the multibulkhead selective withdrawal structure. Overall flow conditions and the effects of withdrawal from a stratified reservoir were investigated in a 1:50-scale model. Flow conditions were studied in greater detail and modifications were developed in a 1:20-scale model of one penstock intake and 1.5 bays of the adjacent withdrawal structure. A 1:5-scale model was used to measure opening torque and discharge at a typical 3- by 6-ft bulkhead pressure relief panel. The initial withdrawal structure was not satisfactory for the design maximum discharge of 5,800 cfs per unit and desired minimum bulkhead submergence of 10 ft. The maximum discharge for good flow conditions with 10-ft submergence was about 1,000 cfs. Vortices formed inside the structure when the pool was above elev 2435 (24 ft below normal full pool). In the final design, the pier nose profile above elev 2390 and the bulkhead storage area were revised, and slots for 4-ft-high floating skimmers were placed at upstream edges of the bulkhead slots. The skimmers improved flow conditions in intermediate bays and were required to prevent vortex formation in end bays of each intake. Maximum head losses were 0.8 ft across a skimmer, 1.1 ft across a skimmer and trashrack, and 3.9 ft through the withdrawal structure. Densities, simulated temperatures, velocities, and interface profiles for an unstratified reservoir and for five conditions of stratification were studied. Torque and discharge data for a typical pressure relief panel were measured for panel openings of 20 to 90 degrees and head differentials of 0.20 to 15.23 ft. The panel opened to the 90-degree position under a differential head of 1.42 ft. (Author).

Book excerpt: Winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and the Arab American Book Award Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR * Nylon * Kirkus Reviews * Bustle * BookPage “Moving and beautifully written.” — Entertainment Weekly On the eve of her daughter Alia’s wedding, Salma reads the girl’s future in a cup of coffee dregs. She sees an unsettled life for Alia and her children; she also sees travel and luck. While she chooses to keep her predictions to herself that day, they will all soon come to pass when the family is uprooted in the wake of the Six-Day War of 1967. Lyrical and heartbreaking, Salt Houses follows three generations of a Palestinian family and asks us to confront that most devastating of all truths: you can’t go home again. “[Alyan is] a master.” — Los Angeles Review of Books “Beautiful . . . An example of how fiction is often the best filter for the real world around us.” — NPR “Gorgeous and sprawling . . . Heart-wrenching, lyrical and timely.” — Dallas Morning News “[Salt Houses] illustrate[s] the inherited longing and sense of dislocation passed like a baton from mother to daughter.” — New York Times Book Review

Book True Crime Writings in Colonial India

Download or read book True Crime Writings in Colonial India written by Shampa Roy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergent culture of crime writings in late 19th century colonial Bengal (India) is an interesting testimony to how literature is shaped by various material forces including the market. This book deals with true crime writings of the late 1800s published by ‘lowbrow publishing houses’ — infamous for publishing ‘sensational’ and the ‘vulgar’ literature — which had an avid bhadralok (genteel) readership. The volume focuses on select translations of true crime writings by Bakaullah and Priyanath Mukhopadhyay who worked as darogas (Detective Inspectors) in the police department in mid-late nineteenth century colonised Bengal. These published accounts of cases investigated by them are among the very first manifestations of the crime genre in India. The writings reflect their understandings of criminality and guilt, as well as negotiations with colonial law and policing. Further, through a selection of cases in which women make an appearance either as victims or offenders, (or sometimes as both,) this book sheds light on the hidden gendered experiences of the time, often missing in mainstream Bangla literature. Combining a love for suspense with critical readings of a cultural phenomenon, this book will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of comparative literature, translation studies, gender studies, literary theory, cultural studies, modern history, and lovers of crime fiction from all disciplines.
