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).
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 excerpt: Winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and the Arab American Book Award A Best Book of the Year: NPR • NYLON • Kirkus • Bustle • BookPage "What does home mean when you no longer have a house—or a homeland? This beautiful novel traces one Palestinian family's struggle with that question and how it can haunt generations. . . . This is an example of how fiction is often the best filter for the real world around us." — NPR 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. 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. Salma is forced to leave her home in Nablus; Alia’s brother gets pulled into a politically militarized world he can’t escape; and Alia and her gentle-spirited husband move to Kuwait City, where they reluctantly build a life with their three children. When Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait in 1990, Alia and her family once again lose their home and their land, scattering to Beirut, Paris, Boston, and beyond. Soon Alia’s children begin families of their own, once again navigating the burdens (and blessings) of assimilation in foreign cities. Salt Houses is a remarkable debut novel that challenges and humanizes an age-old conflict we might think we understand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1822, before Jedediah Smith entered the West, it was largely an unknown land, “a wilderness,” he wrote, “of two thousand miles diameter.” During his nine years as a trapper for Ashley and Henry and later for the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, “the mild and Christian young man” blazed the trail westward through South Pass; he was the first to go from the Missouri overland to California, the first to cross the length of Utah and the width of Nevada, first to travel by land up through California and Oregon, first to cross the Sierra Nevada. Before his death on the Santa Fe Trail at the hands of the Comanches, Jed Smith and his partners had drawn the map of the west on a beaver skin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Long out of print, this study of western mining is now available with three new chapters by Elliott West. When originally published in 1963, Professor Paul's book offered the first comprehensive view of western mining as an integral part of the settlement process. In his supplemental chapters, Professor West presents a social history of mining camps - encompassing discussions of gender, class, race, labor, and the environment. The combined scholarship of Paul and West makes a strong case for the transforming effects of the mining frontier on western society in particular and American society in general. This revised, expanded edition continues to offer a distinctively vivid voice and an unusually keen eye for telling detail."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
