The program has two main research fields:
Considering the experience acquired over the 45-year history of CEHPAR (Hydraulic and Hydrology Center Prof. Parigot de Souza), which was the basis for the creation of the Master’s Degree in Hydraulic Engineering, one of the characteristics of this area is related to the development of studies and projects for solutions of problems of Hydraulic Engineering and Hydrology.
This field has two distinct research lines regarding the approach to hydraulic problems, the first one is related to the solution of problems through analytical or physical modeling (Experimental Hydraulics), and the second related to the search for solutions through Mathematical and computational models (Computational Hydraulics).
The Experimental Hydraulics line was related to the issues involving projects and execution of hydraulic works, mainly the fluvial ones, with approach of particular aspects of such works as rockfill structures, energy dissipation, formation of vortices, aeration of flows, performance of hydraulic structures and others.
Â Â Â Â Â Â
Another approach is based on aspects of hydraulics related to non-fluvial works, such as water distribution networks, hydraulic transients and industrial hydraulics, including hydraulic aspects associated with projects and environmental works.Â Coastal hydraulics was also the subject of the area.
Mathematical modeling was another nucleus of research interest, since general solutions to the problems related to the works described above can be obtained through the careful application of this tool, based on concepts of Computational Fluid Mechanics, non-permanent flow in channels And turbulence models.Â In this context, the impacts of dam rupture and computational modeling of estuaries and bays were concrete problems addressed in this area.
The second research approach, associated to the former Hydrological Engineering field, can be conceptualized as the set of methodologies, models and concepts that aim at the application of the principles of hydrology in the solution of practical engineering problems.Â Thus, the main research activities were based on activities related to hydrometry, flow and precipitation forecasting, remote sensing of hydrological variables, reservoir operation, hydrological regionalization, definition of design parameters for hydraulic works, analysis of risks associated with floods And droughts, sediment transport and other contaminants, and also the effects of anthropic changes on the hydrological cycle.Â Hydrological engineering is part of the engineering of water resources, this is understood as the application of engineering in the use of water for the present and future well-being of man.Â One of the most striking aspects of hydrological engineering is its essentially quantitative approach, a common feature of all engineers seeking to establish a cause-and-effect relationship not only to identify the variables that are influenced by a given perturbation in a system but, The magnitude of the change in each of the variables.Â For the development of techniques aimed at solving these problems, in addition to the hydrology discipline itself, a solid training in statistics, economics, fluid mechanics and, especially, given their quantitative character in mathematics, were essential.
The quantitative aspect is that it distinguishes these research activities from other correlates, however, of a more descriptive nature, such as ecology, hydrogeography, water law, natural resource management and policy, and environmental education.Â It is also important to emphasize the utilitarian nature of hydrological engineering, centered on the solution of practical problems, and its development is an example of applied research.
Due to this peculiar characteristic, the concept of the integrated system is of fundamental importance, which allows to simplify the analysis of complex phenomena as is the case of hydrological phenomena.Â A hydrological system is defined as a structure or a volume in the space that receives water and other substances from the external environment through its boundaries (inputs), operates internally and returns them in a modified form to the external environment (outputs).Â Thus, the use of systematic approach allows to decompose a very complex problem into several simpler sub-problems.
In order to represent the systems one can use models that are sets of equations (mathematical model) or physical structure (physical models), which preserve the cause-effect relationship between inputs and outputs and allow predictions about the outputs corresponding to a given input .
At PPGERHA, due to the aforementioned research interests, research was consolidated in stochastic hydrology;Â Deterministic hydrology;Â Planning, operation and management of risks of electric energy.Â The first two themes constitute a traditional division of Hydrological Engineering, with objectives and methods of analysis well known.
The third research theme is not traditional in the area of â€‹â€‹Hydrological Engineering and is due to the fact that PPGERHA has maintained for many years very close links with the electric energy sector, through an agreement with Companhia Paranaense de Energia – COPEL.Â It is also justified by the fact that, in the case of hydroelectric systems, the problem of reliability of electricity supply is similar to that of reservoir flow regulation, which suggests the use of concepts and methods developed in time series theory and In particular in the stochastic theory of reservoirs for reliability analysis of electrical systems with predominance of hydroelectricity, as is the case in Brazil.
Therefore, in addition to participating in research projects focused on the electricity sector, these factors led several PPGERHA professors to develop research in energy studies, and several dissertations and publications were produced.Â In addition, two specialization courses on the subject (Planning, Operation and Commercialization in the Electric Energy Industry – CPOC and Technical Management of Electric Power Concessionaires) were offered.
The main interests on the topic Stochastic Hydrology can be synthesized in subjects such as: analysis of statistical properties of hydrological and meteorological variables;Â Frequency distribution of extremes;Â Methods of estimation of statistical parameters;Stochastic models for prediction;Â Time series and stochastic processes;Â Robust distributions;Â Investigation of regional characteristics of average and extreme values â€‹â€‹of hydrological variables;Â Algorithms for spatial and temporal transfer of hydrological information;Regional frequency analysis;Â Asymptotic models for sample errors;Â Multivariate regional models;Â Reservoir stochastic theory, probability distributions of inflows, optimization of operating rules;Â Sensitivity analysis to variation of parameters;Â Generation of synthetic flow series.
Regarding the research topic Determination Hydrology, PPGERHA has developed research in the areas of development and analysis of rainfall, hydrodynamic and groundwater transformation models;Â Models of water quality, erosion and sediment transport;Atmospheric models of micro and mesoscale;Â Study of changes in water balance by reservoirs or urbanization;Â Evaporation and evapotranspiration, reconstitution of natural flows;Â Influence of reservoirs on flood propagation, flood control;Â Forecasting of flow and short-term precipitation;Â Urban drainage.
Finally, the topic of research in Production, Operation and Risk Management of Electric Energy has focused on issues related to: the decision on investment;Â The analysis of the competitiveness of energy sources;Â Variability in the availability of electricity;Â The ranking of expansion priorities;Â Planning and operation of hydrothermal systems;Â Marginal short- and long-term costs;Â Optimization of operating rules;Â Risk and cost analysis;Â Benefits of integration;Â To stochastic dynamic programming;Â Simulation models;Â Small hydroelectric plants;Â Methods of analytical energy assessment;Â Marketing models;Â To the risks of commercialization and to the spot market of energy.
Due to the great affinity between the themesÂ Stochastic Hydrology and Planning, Operation and Risk Management of Electrical Energy and, due to the great intersection of teachers working in both approaches, besides the operationalization of scientific production, these two themes are grouped in a single line of research, denominated Stochastic Hydrology and Energy Studies.
It is also important to highlight the research activities associated to Hydroclimatology issues, considering aspects of climate change and impacts on Water Resources, with part of the research line in Stochastic Hydrology.
The Environmental Engineering field, the most recent in the research structure of PPGERHA, was created with the purpose of allowing the academic training of professionals to understand the complex interactions that exist in ecosystems.Â This is based on a systemic approach oriented towards proposing solutions to environmental problems, based on the interesting but complex concept of environmental sustainability.Â In this area, subjects related to monitoring, environmental management and management, mathematical modeling related to pollution processes and waste of natural resources, drinking water supply systems, wastewater collection, transportation, treatment and disposal systems, As well as the management of solid domestic waste and construction.
At PPGEHRA, the Environmental Engineering fieldÂ covers two lines of research, Environmental Systems Modeling, with emphasis on the mathematical modeling of parameters related to water quality;Â Environmental Sanitation, focused on the treatment processes to mitigate the impacts of pollutants on water and soil.Â More recently, research in the areas of Effluent Treatment, Clean Technology, Clean Development Mechanism and Management of Domestic Solid Waste and Construction have motivated students’ attention.
In this context, researchers have developed activities aimed at consolidating computational models to simulate environmental problems in rivers, reservoirs and water distribution networks.Â The objective has not only been to develop and adapt the numerical solutions to the problems of transporting contaminants in environmental systems, but to establish the importance of these tools for the Environmental Management processes.
The integration of these two linesÂ of research is a peculiarity of PPGERHA, since it involves actors different from the academic community, such as governmental entities at the municipal and state levels, basin agencies and associations of users of hydrographic basins, as well as non-governmental organizations such as the Brazilian Association ABES, Brazilian Association of Water Resources – ABRH, Inter-American Association of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering – AIDIS and the Brazilian Association of Underground Waters – ABAS, assuming a regional leadership role in the training of technicians and researchers.
In this area, research is conducted on the behavior of pollutants in soil water, with an evaluation of causes and effects, aiming at proposing actions, methodologies and / or technologies for the monitoring and control of natural conditions.Â These studies cover changes in the natural characteristics of the environment, the quality of life conditions, and the degradation of materials and equipment.Â Such an approach presupposes the implementation and application of computational models related to studies of mechanisms of transport of substances and their behavior in ecosystems in time and space.
Another line of this research field is related to the applications of pollution control, through analysis of scenarios, the characterization of critical discharges of pollutants and the delimitation of areas affected by accidental discharges.Â Also involved are research related to the characterization of natural waters for water supply and wastewater, through physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes.
The most recently incorporated topics in this area may include the digestion of biosolids resulting from the treatment of domestic sewage, the evaluation of the characteristics of sludge produced in water treatment plants, the reactors operated in anaerobic process for the treatment of domestic sewage and Landfill leachate, advanced oxidative processes applied to landfill leachate pretreatment by anaerobic process, environmental risk assessment in landfills, and molecular biology techniques to improve the efficiency of anaerobic reactors.

With the steady rise in power consumption, automobile usage, and industrial production worldwide for the past century, countries have realized that meeting these ever-growing energy demands could potentially devastate the environment. In the United States, generating electrical power constitutes the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions and the majority of this power is used to electrify buildings both in the commercial and residential sectors. It is estimated that 21% of all electrical power generated in the United States is consumed by residential buildings. To reduce the total amount of electricity that need be generated (and therefore, the amount of pollution) governments have invested heavily into energy efficiency research especially in the major power consuming sector of residential buildings. The ultimate goal of energy efficient measures is to cut the power consumption of a building enough that all of the energy needs can be met by an on-site renewable energy system such as photovoltaic solar panels. This would result in what many call a “zero energy building.” This paper quantitatively investigates the effectiveness of potential energy efficient upgrades in a residential home through various building energy simulation techniques including the computer building load and energy requirement software entitled “Transient Analysis of Building Loads and Energy Requirements” or TABLER. Energy savings from energy efficient upgrades were investigated in the areas of residential lighting, building envelope infiltration mitigation, advanced insulating materials, advanced window technologies, electrical plug-load reduction strategies, and energy efficient appliance options. Results of simulations show significant energy savings for various energy efficient upgrades can be achieved either by a reduction in the electrical power consumed directly by the device (lighting, electronics, and appliances) or by a reduction in power consumption of the home heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment used to remove or add heat to the conditioned space throughout the year. The effectiveness of individual upgrades as compared to the total investment required to implement them is a matter of opinion slanted by whether energy conservation or return on investment is the ultimate goal.

how to sand making from rocks
Sand has been used in countless human endeavours, from construction to crafting, to landscaping. However, one common problem that arises is the cost of purchasing sand. A feasible solution to this issue is making sand from rocks.
Rocks can be used to make different types of sand, depending on one's preference. The process of making sand from rocks is not complicated and can be done with easy-to-find materials.
Here are the steps in making sand from rocks:
1. Collect the rocks.
The first step is to gather rocks that are suitable for making sand. The rocks should be hard and granular.
2. Clean the rocks.
To ensure that no debris ends up in the sand, the rocks must be adequately cleaned. Soak the rocks in a bucket of water for some time to remove any dirt or debris and then dry them.
3. Crush the rocks.
Using a hammer or a rock crusher, crush the rocks into small pieces. The resulting pieces should range from the size of coarse sand to fine sand, depending on the desired consistency.
4. Sift the crushed rocks.
After crushing the rocks, sift the material through a fine sieve to separate the sand from any larger pieces of rock.
5. Dry and store the sand.
Spread the sand evenly on a flat surface, such as a tarp or a table, and allow it to dry completely. After drying, store the sand in an airtight container until ready for use.
In conclusion, making sand from rocks is a simple and cost-effective alternative to purchasing sand. With just a few steps and materials, you can produce high-quality sand that is suitable for a variety of uses, such as construction, landscaping, or crafting.

We choose to build naturally because of its low carbon footprint and sustainability. We use natural materials like clay, river rocks, wood, bamboo, rice straw and carabao dung. Natural building is inexpensive, healthy, environment-friendly and the materials are readily available. As much as we can, we minimize the use of industrially produced materials like cement and steel.
For our first build, we used the wattle and daub technique. A wattle is a panel made of woven wooden or bamboo strips daubed with the mud mixture. It’s a technique usually used for non-load bearing interior walls, but can also be used for exterior walls especially those built in regions that need no insulation from cold exterior temperatures like the tropics. It is thick enough to insulate the inside of the structure from extreme high temperatures but thin, light and safe enough for earthquakes. The wattles are then daubed with a mixture of clay, sand, straw and water.
The great thing about our project site is that the materials we need to build are locally available. We have the creek for rocks, gravel and sand. We use rice straw given to us by neighbors. We have a bamboo forest with a particular species locally called “bolo,” which is good for making walls and frames. For posts, we use the bamboo called “bayog,” which we buy cheap from a nearby seller. This kind of bamboo is good for building so we started planting for our future needs. For the thatched roofing, we have neighbors who sell cogon grass, one of the traditional roofing materials used here in the Philippines. And we get our supply of clay soil within the property.
Last December, we started gathering the materials we needed for our first build – a tool shed with a small sleeping area for our friend Danny, situated in a shaded place because it gets really hot here during summer. In January, we started the foundation, the posts and roofing frame. We had a hard time with the foundation specifically on deciding if we’d be using cement for mortar. We finally went for it to test how it bears with the amount of rain we get during the rainy season. Our neighbor Zaldy who has experience in building traditional Filipino bamboo huts, helped us put up the posts and make the frames.
We then prepared the cogon grass roofing using the “bolo” bamboo as frames and strips of young “bayog” bamboo for tying.
When we were finished with the wattles and had all the other materials for the mud walls, we called on our neighbors to help in the daubing of the walls. We were overwhelmed by the support of the community including some of the local officials.
We mixed the mud with our bare feet. Everybody enjoyed doing it especially the kids!
The daubing part was a bit tricky for us at first. But when we got the hang of it, it came naturally and it was a blast!
Since we started the tool shed, friends and relatives have visited and helped in the build.
It is still an unfinished job, but we have the whole summer to do it… come and join us!
*This is just our first build, if you have any suggestions on how we can do the foundation of our next building project without using cement as mortar with consideration on the amount of rain we get, please let us know.#

Learn how we facilitate Smart City transformations with complex data collection, management, and analysis.
The Smart City revolution is here. More and more cities are implementing smart traffic solutions, designing energy-efficient buildings, and building sustainable infrastructure. But a city only becomes a smart one if its officials understand the value of information, since every innovative urban solution needs to rely on data in order to be truly sustainable and effective.
One of the biggest challenges for city leaders is maintaining economic growth and staying competitive while still providing a sustainable and healthy place to live. We can say for sure that this is impossible without innovative solutions and smart technologies. Whether it's for a problem with parking spaces or energy consumption, cutting-edge technology is here to help us
Depending on the country, climate, or population size, Smart City technologies can solve a wide range of issues. There are many Smart City applications for traffic congestion, air quality control, and waste management, but one thing they all have in common is that they rely on data.For them to be effective, modern Smart City solutions require significant amounts of real-time data collected from different systems, third-party sources, cameras, sensors, IoT devices, or citizens themselves. We deliver ready-to-go software solutions that allow municipalities to manage and understand this overflow of information and make much more well-informed and cost-effective decisions.
The search for innovations in the process of urban planning and development comes down to the phrase "Necessity is the mother of invention". City governments realize that smart infrastructure is mandatory if they are to maintain sustainable growth and a high quality of life for residents.Most major cities already have multiple systems based on digital technology, but Smart City initiatives are even becoming popular on a much smaller scale. The impact of easy-to-implement solutions like intelligent parking meters and bicycle-sharing systems is significant for all parties involved. They improve the quality of life for communities, make urban areas more attractive for businesses, and generate profit for municipalities.
To turn each Smart City vision into a reality it needs to start by controlling the data, and that is our speciality. We help municipalities to collect, analyze, and better understand the value of information.Having a comprehensive database with real-time information makes the implementation of technologically both possible and economically sensible. We help cities to achieve those goals and prepare the necessary groundwork for a true technological change. Let us know about your dream vision of a Smart City and we'd be happy to help you realize it.

Tarmac can be a perfect solution to enhance Driveways and Paths, it can prove to be an extremely durable surface when installed properly. Dependant on the depth and structural make-up of the base (foundations) and the quality of top coat (overlay) initially applied the length of service tarmac will give, can vary. A well installed Tarmac driveway should be expected to have a minimum lifespan of 20 years onwards.
What are the benefits having tarmac?
Installed quickly compared to other methods
Highly durable and long lasting
Suitably weather resistant, lowering the risk of weathering over time (whilst still maintaining safety for vehicles)
Bitmac or Tarmac?
The name tarmac was original derived from John MacAdam, who developed the process in the West. He used tar, which can be found naturally, to hold the small stones together, hence the name tar macadam, or tarmac for short. Nowadays, as the binding agent for the aggregates is bitumen, a by-product of the oil refining process, rather than tar, it is known as bitumen macadam, shortened in the trade to bitmac
Tarmac driveways are the cheapest option for a permanent driveway. Tarmac or Bitmac is a cheap, flexible medium made up of rock, shale and asphalt cement. Since some of its ingredients are extracted from crude oil, tarmac and asphalt are very dark. Some contractors will mix the asphalt with a polymer dye for a more pleasing appearance. Generally these driveways last about 15 years.


What Are the Different Grades of Steel
What Are the Different Grades of Steel?
Steel is one of the most versatile and widely used materials in the world. It is a vital component in industries ranging from construction to automotive to manufacturing. However, not all steel is created equal. There are various grades of steel, each with its own unique properties and characteristics. In this article, we will explore the different grades of steel and their applications.
1. Carbon Steel:
Carbon steel is the most common type of steel and accounts for about 90% of global steel production. It is primarily composed of iron and carbon, with trace amounts of other elements. The carbon content in carbon steel ranges from 0.05% to 2%. This grade of steel is known for its strength, durability, and affordability. It is widely used in construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing.
2. Alloy Steel:
Alloy steel is a type of steel that contains additional alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, or vanadium. These elements enhance the properties of steel, making it stronger, more resistant to corrosion, and capable of withstanding higher temperatures. Alloy steel is commonly used in the production of high-strength components, tools, and machinery parts.
3. Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant steel alloy that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium. The addition of chromium forms a protective layer on the surface of the steel, preventing it from rusting or corroding. Stainless steel is widely used in applications where resistance to corrosion, heat, and chemicals is crucial. It is commonly found in kitchen utensils, appliances, medical equipment, and architectural structures.
4. Tool Steel:
Tool steel is a high-carbon steel alloy that is specifically designed for the production of tools. It is known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. Tool steel is often used in the manufacturing of cutting tools, molds, dies, and machine components that are subjected to high stress and wear.
5. High-Speed Steel:
High-speed steel (HSS) is a type of tool steel that is specifically engineered to withstand high temperatures generated during cutting or machining processes. It contains additional alloying elements such as tungsten, molybdenum, or cobalt, which enhance its heat resistance and hardness. High-speed steel is commonly used in the production of cutting tools, drills, and milling cutters.
1. What determines the grade of steel?
The grade of steel is determined by its composition and properties. The addition of specific elements, such as carbon, chromium, or nickel, alters the steel’s characteristics, making it suitable for different applications.
2. How is steel graded?
Steel is graded based on a standardized system established by organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The grading system encompasses various factors, including chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat treatment.
3. What are the advantages of using higher-grade steel?
Higher-grade steel offers superior strength, durability, and resistance to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures. It allows for the production of more robust and reliable components, making it suitable for demanding applications.
4. Can different grades of steel be combined?
Yes, different grades of steel can be combined through techniques like welding or forging. This allows for the creation of hybrid materials with enhanced properties or the production of complex structures that require different grades of steel.
5. How can I identify the grade of steel?
The grade of steel can often be identified by markings or labels on the product, such as ASTM or SAE codes. Additionally, material testing and analysis can be performed to determine the exact composition and grade of steel.
In conclusion, steel comes in various grades, each with its own unique properties and applications. From carbon steel for general purposes to stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and from tool steel for high-stress environments to high-speed steel for cutting tools, the different grades of steel play a vital role in numerous industries. Understanding the characteristics and applications of these grades is crucial for selecting the appropriate steel for specific purposes.


Justin Dike Biography & Facts
A levee (), dike (American English), dyke (Commonwealth English), embankment, floodbank, or stop bank is a structure that is usually earthen and that often runs parallel to the course of a river in its floodplain or along low-lying coastlines.The purpose of a levee is to keep the course of rivers from changing and to protect against flooding of the area adjoining the river or coast. Levees can be naturally occurring ridge structures that form next to the bank of a river, or be an artificially constructed fill or wall that regulates water levels. However levees can be bad for the environment.Ancient civilizations in the Indus Valley, ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and China all built levees. Today, levees can be found around the world, and failures of levees due to erosion or other causes can be major disasters.
Speakers of American English use the word levee, from the French word levée (from the feminine past participle of the French verb lever, 'to raise'). It originated in New Orleans a few years after the city's founding in 1718 and was later adopted by English speakers. The name derives from the trait of the levee's ridges being raised higher than both the channel and the surrounding floodplains.
The modern word dike or dyke most likely derives from the Dutch word dijk, with the construction of dikes well attested as early as the 11th century. The 126-kilometer-long (78 mi) Westfriese Omringdijk, completed by 1250, was formed by connecting existing older dikes. The Roman chronicler Tacitus mentions that the rebellious Batavi pierced dikes to flood their land and to protect their retreat (70 CE). The word dijk originally indicated both the trench and the bank. It closely parallels the English verb to dig.In Anglo-Saxon, the word dic already existed and was pronounced as dick in northern England and as ditch in the south. Similar to Dutch, the English origins of the word lie in digging a trench and forming the upcast soil into a bank alongside it. This practice has meant that the name may be given to either the excavation or to the bank. Thus Offa's Dyke is a combined structure and Car Dyke is a trench – though it once had raised banks as well. In the English Midlands and East Anglia, and in the United States, a dike is what a ditch is in the south of England, a property-boundary marker or drainage channel. Where it carries a stream, it may be called a running dike as in Rippingale Running Dike, which leads water from the catchwater drain, Car Dyke, to the South Forty Foot Drain in Lincolnshire (TF1427). The Weir Dike is a soak dike in Bourne North Fen, near Twenty and alongside the River Glen, Lincolnshire. In the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, a dyke may be a drainage ditch or a narrow artificial channel off a river or broad for access or mooring, some longer dykes being named, e.g. Candle Dyke.In parts of Britain, particularly Scotland and Northern England, a dyke may be a field wall, generally made with dry stone.
The main purpose of artificial levees is to prevent flooding of the adjoining countryside and to slow natural course changes in a waterway to provide reliable shipping lanes for maritime commerce over time; they also confine the flow of the river, resulting in higher and faster water flow. Levees can be mainly found along the sea, where dunes are not strong enough, along rivers for protection against high-floods, along lakes or along polders. Furthermore, levees have been built for the purpose of empoldering, or as a boundary for an inundation area. The latter can be a controlled inundation by the military or a measure to prevent inundation of a larger area surrounded by levees. Levees have also been built as field boundaries and as military defences. More on this type of levee can be found in the article on dry-stone walls.
Levees can be permanent earthworks or emergency constructions (often of sandbags) built hastily in a flood emergency.
Some of the earliest levees were constructed by the Indus Valley civilization (in Pakistan and North India from circa 2600 BC) on which the agrarian life of the Harappan peoples depended. Levees were also constructed over 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, where a system of levees was built along the left bank of the River Nile for more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles), stretching from modern Aswan to the Nile Delta on the shores of the Mediterranean. The Mesopotamian civilizations and ancient China also built large levee systems. Because a levee is only as strong as its weakest point, the height and standards of construction have to be consistent along its length. Some authorities have argued that this requires a strong governing authority to guide the work, and may have been a catalyst for the development of systems of governance in early civilizations. However, others point to evidence of large-scale water-control earthen works such as canals and/or levees dating from before King Scorpion in Predynastic Egypt, during which governance was far less centralized.
Another example of a historical levee that protected the growing city-state of Mēxihco-Tenōchtitlan and the neighboring city of Tlatelōlco, was constructed during the early 1400s, under the supervision of the tlahtoani of the altepetl Texcoco, Nezahualcoyotl. Its function was to separate the brackish waters of Lake Texcoco (ideal for the agricultural technique Chināmitls) from the fresh potable water supplied to the settlements. However, after the Europeans destroyed Tenochtitlan, the levee was also destroyed and flooding became a major problem, which resulted in the majority of The Lake being drained in the 17th Century.
Levees are usually built by piling earth on a cleared, level surface. Broad at the base, they taper to a level top, where temporary embankments or sandbags can be placed. Because flood discharge intensity increases in levees on both river banks, and because silt deposits raise the level of riverbeds, planning and auxiliary measures are vital. Sections are often set back from the river to form a wider channel, and flood valley basins are divided by multiple levees to prevent a single breach from flooding a large area. A levee made from stones laid in horizontal rows with a bed of thin turf between each of them is known as a spetchel.
Artificial levees require substantial engineering. Their surface must be protected from erosion, so they are planted with vegetation such as Bermuda grass in order to bind the earth together. On the land side of high levees, a low terrace of earth known as a banquette is usually added as another anti-erosion measure. On the river side, erosion from strong waves or currents presents an even greater threat to the integrity of the levee. The effects of erosion are countered by planting suitable vegetation or installing stones, boulders, weighted matting, or concrete revetments. Separate ditches or drainage tiles are constructed to ensure that the foundation does not become waterlogged.

Originally built to provide water to the City of Kingsport, the Bays Mountain Dam is still as impressive as ever
Planning for the dam began in 1907 as Kingsport Waterworks started buying the land surrounding the future reservoir.
1916: Construction on the dam began in April 1916. Most of the labor came from Bays Mountain residents. They quarried sandstone from the cliffs below the dam, dragged the stones up to the dam site, and shaped each block before setting it in place. These details (and more) were documented in 1978 when John Quillen, one of the original crew, was interviewed by park staff in an audio recording.
During the first year of construction, they used Jerome Pierce’s horses to haul the huge rocks from the cliff base to the dam site. John called this a “horse engine”. By the fall of 1916, the dam was mostly complete but didn’t have the iconic columns/steps we see today. Was that the original design? We don’t know. But according to John, a crack formed and the dam leaked. So, that winter the workers added 2 “braces”, as John called the columns/steps. Hear John tell the story here:
1917: In the second year of construction they added the rest of the braces and raised the dam 7ft higher. They also replaced the “horse engine” with a steam-powered engine.
In the construction photo showing tall wooden poles, you can see that some braces are in place but others have yet to be added, judging by the wide gap between the braces as compared to the finished product. You can also see the height difference at the top: the workers are lined up on the taller/new portion while the original lower height is visible on the left side of the dam. In the lower left corner you can see the steam engine and pulleys.
After completion in 1917, the reservoir filled and water began to flow down the network of pipes to the city water system below.
Bays Mountain Reservoir served as the Kingsport water supply until 1944 as the city had outgrown the capacity of the lake. Since then the city has pulled their water from the South Holston River, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of this 44-acre lake for years to come.


The annexation of a portion of the eastern side of Big Creek Lake has been approved and sanitary sewer water from the east side of the lake will soon be drained through Polk City.
The annexed land extends from Polk City’s northern corporate limits up to just north of NW 142nd Avenue. The east-west boundaries span from the lake’s edge east to the edge of the Big Creek State Park boundaries.
Currently, sanitary sewer water from the nearby marina area and restrooms is collected in a lagoon on the lake’s east side near NW 142nd Avenue. Without the annexation, sanitary sewer water collected in the lagoon cannot be drained through Polk City. This is because Polk City belongs to the Wastewater Reclamation Authority (WRA), and the only waste that can be contributed to the WRA sanitary sewer system must come from within belonging city’s limits.
Now that the annexation has been approved, the state is working on construction plans to enable the water to be drained through the city.
Polk City City Administrator Gary Mahannah said if the annexation of the land had not been approved, additional lagoons may have been needed in the future to hold the waste or the size of the current lagoon would need to be increased. A concern with more waste storage was the increased chance of unpleasant odors wafting down to the city.
The annexation was approved by the Secretary of the State of Iowa at the end of last month. When discussing the annexation in April, Mahannah anticipated the approval process would take at least three months.
"We thought it would be more of a process, but it didn’t turn out that way," Mahannah said.
The news of the approved annexation was received positively by the Polk City City Council, he said.
Ownership of the annexed land will remain the same, with all but an approximately 120-acre parcel of land owned by the federal government. The State of Iowa owns the small parcel of land. Annexing the land will create cost savings for the state, since the water will be sent through Polk City. No costs will be incurred by Polk City residents.

Nestled in the heart of Southern California, Chino is evolving from a purely agricultural hub to the logistics capital of the Inland Empire. Because of the city's strategic advantages, Watson Land Company is proud to unveil the latest generation of our masterplanned communities: Watson Industrial Park Chino.
Chino's location gives you premier access to major routes of commerce and the global market. Located near the western border of the Inland Empire, you can quickly reach a number of major highways. The city is closer to both the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach than Ontario. By strategically positioning your headquarters at Watson Industrial Park Chino, you can get your goods from your distribution center to the market with ease and efficiency.
The latest in our line of masterplanned industrial parks, Watson Industrial Park Chino is a four-phase development that consists of eleven freestanding industrial buildings. At a total of 5.1 million square feet, Watson Industrial Park Chino offers a variety of flexible distribution centers, warehouses, and operational headquarters, each suited to your operation's unique needs.
Featuring Watson Land Company Legacy Buildings and LEED-certified construction, Watson Industrial Park Chino offers such advantages as 36-foot clearance, abundant clerestory glass, 100% concrete truck courts, 3% skylights, and 8-inch-thick concrete floor slabs with 4,000 PSI reinforcement. Sustainable design features that conserve water and energy benefit both our environment and your operation's bottom line.
The First Phase of Watson Industrial Park Chino consists of three freestanding buildings suitable for use in distribution or warehousing. Ranging from 323,030 square feet to 601,104 square feet, each building features over 5,000 square feet of office space, along with ample room for employee vehicles as well as for trailer storage. The expansion capability of 36-foot clearance allows the First Phase industrial spaces to grow with our tenants, while Watson Legacy and LEED features like reinforced concrete floors and abundant clerestory glass make daily operations both efficient and sustainable.
Each building in the First Phase of Watson Industrial Park Chino was pre-leased before construction was completed.
The Second Phase is currently underway, with an estimated completion date of mid 2017. The remaining offsite street construction will commence in Spring 2016, and the next phase of development will begin onsite shortly thereafter.
Upon completion, Watson Industrial Park Chino's Second Phase will consist of two buildings. Building 842 will be 725,000 square feet, while Building 846 will be 443,000 square feet. With Watson Legacy and LEED features, the Second Phase will match the efficiency, sustainability, and high quality standards of the First Phase.

Nearly ten years ago, Watson acquired the first 83 acres of industrial-zoned land that would form the First Phase of Watson Industrial Park Chino.
Chino is the strategic hub of the Inland Empire West, and in many ways it is the last frontier for industrial real estate in the area. Recognizing the value of this location, we purchased, bid on, and traded for the acreage that would be home to the 5.1-million-square-foot, 11-building development.
As part of our preparation, we took part in regional water improvements that allowed for Watson Industrial Park Chino to become a reality. In addition to designing and constructing the 4-million gallon reservoir tank at the Eastside Water Treatment Facility (which was named the top national reservoir tank of 2015 by STI/SPFA), we constructed 1.5 miles of 24˝ distribution lines and a booster pump station.
Before construction was completed, the First Phase of Watson Industrial Park Chino was entirely pre-leased. We are proud to have UMA and Synnex Corporation among the first customers at this masterplanned center that is unlike anything else the Inland Empire has to offer.
As part of the actualization of Watson Industrial Park Chino, we exchanged 273 acres of agricultural-zoned land for 95 acres of agricultural-zoned land owned by the County of San Bernardino, thereby avoiding a public auction. This was an extremely complicated transaction requiring the approval of 4 separate governmental jurisdictions, including the State of California, the County of San Bernardino, Orange County, and the City of Chino.
Recognizing an opportunity to add to our holdings in Chino, Watson acquired 58 acres of land at a county auction.
As our vision for Watson Industrial Park Chino began to take shape, Watson Land Company continued to purchase enough land to build the masterplanned industrial park. To house the 11-building, 5.1-million-square-foot development, we ultimately acquired 263 acres.
As Chino shifts from a purely agricultural center to the premier industrial hub of the Inland Empire, Watson Land Company is committed to honoring the city's noble heritage.
To preserve the rural charm formerly embodied by abundant dairy farms, we hand-selected over 100 mature oak trees to be planted throughout Watson Industrial Park Chino. We also have paid tribute to the city's heritage by naming streets within the industrial park after prominent figures.
Ranging from 323,030 to 601,104 square feet, each freestanding building in the 1.4 million square foot First Phase of Watson Industrial Park Chino was built to be highly flexible to meet a variety of industrial needs. The First Phase was fully pre-leased before construction was completed.
Featuring Watson Land Company Legacy Buildings and LEED-certified construction, the First Phase offers such advantages as 36-foot clearance, abundant clerestory glass, 100% concrete truck courts, 3% skylights, and 8-inch-thick concrete floor slabs with 4,000 PSI reinforcement. By conserving water and energy, the First Phase's sustainable design features benefit both our environment and our customers.
Designed and constructed by Watson Land Company, the 4-million gallon tank at the Eastside Water Treatment Facility was named the top national reservoir tank of 2015 by the Steel Tank Institute/Steel Plate Fabricators Association. The STI/SPFA annually honors the highest quality construction projects that utilize steel as the material of choice, and we are proud that our tank took the top honor in this division for 2015.
To push on toward the completion of Watson Industrial Park Chino’s Second, Third, and Fourth Phase, we worked with the city to receive approval on EIR and zone change on 273 acres of land, totaling 3.8 million square feet of buildings.
We are currently developing the Second Phase of Watson Industrial Park Chino.
As we continue work on this project, we are committed to meeting the highest standards of design and construction, as well as to improving the quality of life for the citizens of Chino by providing jobs and revenue to the city.

Civil Structural Health Monitoring Workshop. Berlin. Germany. 2012. Report. Continuous monitoring of structural designs throughout their lifetime is a significant task and subject of a multitude of research activities. From the aspect of sustainability extending the service life of existing structures is of incalculable value, regarding both financial considerations as well as the preservation of infrastructure facilities and historical monuments. Despite all the success of projects for structural maintenance and restoration, the question of how to detect even minor emerging damages at an early stage has not been answered in a satisfactory manner yet. This contribution introduces a new method for damage detection and structural monitoring which is based on an integrated evaluation of measurements obtained from multiple sensors using the method of least squares. The main focus does not lie on the evaluation of modal parameters of structures, but rather on the analysis of deformations while taking into consideration an appropriate mechanical model. Introducing such mechanical conditions into the functional model of least squares adjustment enables the possibility to analyse the related Lagrange Multipliers (LM) which are reflecting the disagreement between the observed structure and applied mechanical model. This novel approach for damage analysis of structures will be demonstrated by a numerical example.

A large new office block now stands by the side of the Maiden Lane bridge, partly built with steel girders transported along the canal, which helped reduce road congestion. When the Regents Canal project was being considered by a House of Lords committee in 1811 the reduction of road congestion in London was one reason put forward by its sponsors, so, two centuries years on, their arguments are still being proved correct.
Battlebridge Basin (1) lies close to the bridge. This was originally known as Horsfall’s Basin and was partially constructed with earth excavated from Islington tunnel. It was from this point, in 1820, that the convoy of boats which celebrated the opening of the canal embarked. As such it is a fitting place for a museum and the London Canal Museum, which constantly celebrates the canal, has adjacent premises.
If you want to end your walk at Kings Cross, but would like to visit the museum before you go home, walk up to Maiden Lane bridge, cross it and then start to walk down to Kings Cross railway station. After a couple of hundred yards you will see Wharfdale Road leading off to the left. Walk down here and look out for New Wharf Road on the left. The canal museum (2) is on the left a short way along. Kings Cross railway station has access to the Tube but those who want to continue the walk should click on the blue button below.

Guillotine Glass System
Nowadays, it becomes a necessity to close the balconies in apartment life. The way to close the balconies without damaging the architecture is to make glass on the balconies. Of course, glass systems are not only for balconies; Glass system is also used in semi-closed areas of places such as terraces, winter gardens, commercial cafes and restaurants.
Glass systems are divided into several types. These are: folding glass balcony, sliding glass balcony, and recently widespread guillotine glass balcony type.
What is Guillotine Glass System?
The glass system, also called movable handrail system, is folded and opened by sliding up and down, not as sliding glass systems. The number of glass plates is 2-3 or 4 pieces depending on the height of the place where it is made, 1 is fixed and the others are mobile.
The reason why it is called movable handrail system is that the glass, which is at the bottom of the handrail, is still in cafes and restaurants. It is called guillotine glass system because the other glasses slide down like a guillotine and fall to the level of the fixed glass.
The system that enables operation in the guillotine glass system is the motor, control (usually remote control), the rail system and the roller and chain system within the rail system.
Movable windows are opened or closed by moving them up and down on the rails with the motorized roller system. Thanks to this structure, the glass can be opened at the desired level.
Nowadays, the demand for the guillotine glass system is increasing, as well as being preferred in commercial enterprises, it is also used in home parts such as balconies and terraces.


Roofing Contractors: What Do They Do?
They are workers who replace and repair roofs on commercial buildings and homes. Many are self-employed, but there are some construction companies that will hire many roofing contractors to do major projects, such as installing roofs on housing projects that have been recently built. They work all year. Some builders have become roofing contractors because of their knowledge of home construction. Before a roofing contract can begin to attract customers, they must obtain a business license, which is a form of legal authorization to operate a business in the county, state, or city. They will also have to go through a certification process. This involves spending time working with an experienced roofing contractor to gain a good understanding of the work they do.
When a homeowner has roof damage from fires, storms, water leaks, and other similar events, they will typically hire a roofing contractor. The contractor will inspect the roof to determine the extent of the damage. They will estimate the cost of purchasing the materials that will be needed to repair the damage and provide the homeowner with an estimate of repair costs. Labor costs are included in the estimate. Most homeowners will get price estimates from several roofing contractors before choosing which one to hire. Some contractors will lower their estimates to win the contract when they know there will be others interested in doing the work.
Roofing contractors are also hired by homeowners to install a new roof. Most contractors specialize in certain types of roofing, such as tile or metal roofing. If it’s a large roofing project, contractors will often hire subcontractors to help with the installation. In some areas, government entities will offer cash incentives and tax rebates to homeowners who install solar panels. Some roofing contractors specialize in installing these panels. Those who specialize in installing solar panels have previously worked as electricians. In some areas, a contractor who installs solar panels must be a licensed electrician or will have to hire a subcontractor to complete the job.
Before agreeing to insure a commercial or residential property, some insurance companies may require homeowners to first pay for a roof inspection. The reason is that roofs are among the most expensive parts of a home or building to replace. If the roof is in poor condition, the insurance company may refuse to insure the house or building. When a roofing contractor performs a roof inspection, he will accept a flat fee for the work. The contractor will provide the insurance company with a roof inspection report, and if any repairs need to be made, the homeowner must do them before obtaining insurance.


Energy efficient house plans can save you money on your energy bills, and it all starts with energy efficient house design. So how do you know which blueprints are eco friendly house plans? Many of the energy efficient home plans in this collection have been designed to mitigate their environmental impact, and some of them could even be considered net zero house plans (if they’re built with certain features, such as solar panels, that allow them to generate their own energy). Several things to consider when building green living house plans: simple footprints, smaller square footage, the potential for passive solar gain, sustainable materials, and minimizing construction waste with efficient building techniques. Energy efficient house plans also can look really cool, from modern house plans in this collection to traditional Craftsman bungalows. Questions about building energy efficient home plans?

Railway engineering works affecting Duffield Station and local services over Easter weekend
Network Rail will be undertaking engineering work affecting Duffield Station and services in Derby and Derbyshire over Easter.
During the Easter weekend (16-17 April), the track running through Duffield station will be upgraded with around 486 metres of rail, sleepers and supporting stones, which the company has said will reduce the need for maintenance work and bring "smoother and more reliable journeys for passengers".
Network Rail is working with train operators to make alternative arrangements for passengers wishing to travel, as the railway line through Duffield will be closed. Cross Country services between Derby and Chesterfield will be diverted and journey times may be extended by 60 minutes as a result.
Additionally, the East Midlands Railway services between London St Pancras International and Sheffield will be diverted and will not call at Long Eaton or Derby. Rail replacement buses will run between Derby and East Midlands Parkway stations to connect back into rail services. For Long Eaton passengers, ticket acceptance is in place so that EMR tickets will also be valid on board CrossCountry trains over this weekend.
Network Rail has recommended passengers plan ahead and check their journeys with their train operator or National Rail Enquiries.

Waler / Bracing SOE System
As an excavation deepens, supports must be added to the Support Of Excavation (SOE) system in order to resist increasing earth and water pressures. Walers, rakers and cross-struts are common bracing elements used in most SOE designs. Walers are beams that span across the face of the sheeting disturbing the earth/water pressures to either a raker or cross-strut. Struts are structural elements that transfer the load from an SOE wall to an adjacent parallel structure. Rakers are struts that are positioned at an angle extending from an SOE wall to a foundation block or supporting substructure.

24-unit Affordable Housing (Community Land Trust)
Developed for a non-profit affordable housing agency in Inglewood, this twenty-four-unit housing project aims to develop identity by providing a village atmosphere.
Each unit has a circulation spine connecting the front door to the open space and linking all the program spaces within the unit. This spine and other building elements are combined to form five basic unit types, which are then scattered throughout the project. This allows for the development of a varied building section and elevations with a minimum level of complexity. Helping to defile the assembly of pieces and unit types is the variation of color and material. The main masses of the building are two colors of stucco while metal siding is used to illustrate the circulation elements.
Throughout the courtyard and exterior spaces, a wood scrim wall element serves to knit the public spaces together. The wood elements bend and fold to become benches, canopies, screens and guardrails as well as define programmatic spaces within the courtyard including a children’s play area and community room.


Backflow Testing and Prevention Services in Anthem
When needing professional backflow testing and prevention services, contacting a local plumber is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of your plumbing system. Local plumbers possess the expertise and specialized equipment required to conduct thorough backflow testing to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply.
What is backflow?
Backflow is the undesirable reversal of water flow within a plumbing system. This phenomenon can occur when the normal flow of water is interrupted, causing contaminated water to flow back into the clean water supply.
Backflow can happen due to back-pressure, where the downstream pressure exceeds the supply pressure, or back-siphonage, which is caused by negative pressure in the plumbing system. Both scenarios can lead to potential health hazards as pollutants, bacteria, and other harmful substances can enter the drinking water supply.
To prevent backflow, backflow prevention devices are installed in plumbing systems to ensure the one-way flow of water and protect the water supply from contamination.
Causes of Backflow
To understand the causes of backflow, it’s essential to recognize the various factors that can disrupt the normal flow of water in a plumbing system. Three key factors that contribute to backflow include:
- Backsiphonage: This occurs when there’s a sudden drop in water pressure, causing water to flow in the opposite direction.
- Backpressure: When the pressure in the system exceeds the supply pressure, it can force water to flow back into the clean water supply.
- Cross-connections: These are points in the plumbing system where potable water and non-potable water may come into contact, leading to potential contamination and backflow issues.
Understanding these causes is crucial in preventing backflow incidents and maintaining a safe water supply for the community.
Dangers of Backflow
The potential hazards of backflow stem from the contamination risk posed to the water supply. Backflow can lead to serious health and safety concerns, including:
- Health Risks: Backflow can introduce harmful contaminants like bacteria, chemicals, and debris into the water supply, jeopardizing public health.
- Water Quality: Contamination from backflow can degrade the quality of the water, affecting its taste, smell, and appearance.
- Environmental Impact: Backflow incidents can harm the environment by polluting water sources and endangering aquatic ecosystems.
These dangers highlight the critical importance of implementing effective backflow prevention measures to safeguard both the community and the environment.
Importance of Backflow Prevention
Backflow prevention is crucial in safeguarding water quality by preventing contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply.
Various methods, such as backflow preventers and air gaps, are employed to ensure that water only flows in one direction, reducing the risk of contamination.
Strict adherence to backflow prevention measures is essential in maintaining the integrity of the water supply and protecting public health.
Backflow Prevention Methods
Implementing effective backflow prevention methods is essential in safeguarding water quality and preventing contamination risks. To emphasize the importance of backflow prevention, consider these emotional triggers:
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your water supply is protected from harmful contaminants can bring a sense of security and peace.
- Health and Safety: Ensuring that your family and community aren’t exposed to potentially hazardous substances through backflow incidents promotes well-being.
- Environmental Responsibility: Taking proactive measures to prevent backflow not only protects your own property but also contributes to the overall health of the environment, fostering a sense of responsibility and belonging.
What is backflow testing?
Backflow testing is a methodical examination of a plumbing system to ensure that water flows in the intended direction, preventing contamination. It involves checking devices like backflow preventers to confirm they’re functioning properly and meeting safety standards.
Regular backflow testing is crucial for maintaining the quality and safety of water supplies in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Benefits of Professional Backflow Testing
Professional backflow testing provides essential assurance that water supply systems are free from contamination. By hiring professionals for backflow testing, individuals can benefit in the following ways:
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your water supply is safe and uncontaminated can provide a sense of security and peace of mind for you and your family.
- Compliance: Professional backflow testing ensures that you comply with local regulations and standards, avoiding potential fines or penalties.
- Health Protection: By preventing backflow incidents, professional testing safeguards the health and well-being of everyone who uses the water supply, promoting a healthier community overall.

TPO Roofing Dallas / Fort Worth
What is TPO Roofing?
TPO Roofing is generally installed in a fully adhered or mechanically attached system, permitting the white membrane to stay vulnerable throughout the life span of the roofing. The first sheet of TPO roofing membrane was set up in 1989 and since then millions of square yards of TPO have been installed globally, and we are happy to provide the TPO Roofing system to your building in Dallas or Fort Worth and surrounding areas.
TPO roof membranes are exceptionally appealing in areas with more cooling days -- when AC and cooling equipment is utilized -- compared to heating. TPO membranes reflect UV radiation retaining the surface of the roof and the building cool through the summertime. This helps decrease heating costs, and also reduces the quantity of carbon emissions.
Many businesses and associations are thrilled with all the ecological advantages of TPO membranes.
