Planning of building - Orientation

Image
 Planning of a building includes various principles such as aspect, prospect, orientation, privacy, circulation, grouping, roominess etc. Today we will talk about the principle of orientation. so, now let's start.   Orientation means arrangement of rooms with respect to the north direction. In a plan of building, we can place the all types of rooms in various way. Some way may be effective or some way may be ineffective or unattractive. Generally, people make the plan themselves for their proposed residential building and in this connection they get quite confused in placement of rooms like kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedrooms, study room, store room etc. So, today I will give you a idea of how to place different types of room to get a pleasant feeling.  According to civil engineering, the plan should be oriented with respect to the north in such a way that kitchen lies towards east and north - east, bedrooms are towards south to southwest and maximum hall windows sh...

Analysis of perfect frame (Truss)

Image
  Definition of frame A structure made up of several bars riveted or welded together is known as frame. Types of frame There are two types of frame - Perfect frame and  Imperfect frame Perfect frame - A perfect frame is the which follows the equation n = 2j - 3. where, n = number of members and  j = number of joints In this type of frame, the number of members are just sufficient to keep the frame in equilibrium under an external load. There is no extra member is present in a perfect frame. Imperfect frame - An imperfect frame is one which does not follow the n = 2j - 3 equation. If the number of members in a frame are less than ( 2j - 3 ) then the frame is known as deficient frame. If the number of members in a frame are more than ( 2j -3 ) then the frame is called redundant frame. Assumptions made in analysis of frame The following assumptions are made in finding out the forces in a frame -  The frame is a perfect frame.  The frame carries load at the joints....

PIEV theory in transportation engineering.

 Today I will induce you with PIEV theory which have great importance in transportation engineering. So, now let me explain. Assume that you are a newbie in cycling. You have just learnt to ride a cycle. You have not much experience and you often get confused when a vehicle or obstacle comes in front of you. Now let you are riding a cycle as you feel comfortable. Suddenly you see a obstacle and hit the brake and stop the cycle. It seems very easy in practical but its principle is quite interesting. It is based on PIEV theory. P - Perception  I - Intellection E - Emotion V - Volition You watched the obstacle and brake the cycle. The time you took to brake the cycle is called braking time. Braking time = perception time + intellection time + emotion time + volition time. Perception time - When you see the obstacle or hear some undesirable sounds, you eyes or ears to send the sensations to the brain through the nervous system and spinal chord. The time taken by your eyes or ears ...
