What is undisturbed and disturbed sample of soil?


·  What is undisturbed and disturbed sample of soil?



1.   Undisturbed sample:-

The soil sample, in which natural structure and properties remains preserved is called undisturbed sample of soil.

These are taken in soil surveying and boring operation.


2.   Disturbed sample:-

The disturbed sample, in which the natural structure of soil gets partly modified and destroyed are termed as disturbed sample of soil.

Such sample may be collected by auger boring.

Determine the height of a rectangular weir of length 6m to be built across a rectangular channel. Maximum depth of water on the upstream side of the weir is 1.8 and discharge is 2000 l/sec . Take Cd = 0.6 and neglect end contractions.

What is centrifugal pump and reciprocating pump.

What is centrifugal pump   and reciprocating pump.  Centrifugal pump:- if the mechanical energy is converted in to pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid, The hydraulic machine is called centrifugal pump. Main parts of centrifugal pump:- 1.   Impeller 2.   Casing 3.   Suction pipe with a foot valve and a strainer 4.   Delivery pipe 5.   Delivery valve 6.   Eye of pump 7.   Sump Reciprocating pump:- if the mechanical energy is converted in to hydraulic energy by sucking the liquid in to a cylinder. The pump is known as reciprocating pump. Main parts of reciprocating pump:- 1.   Delivery pipe 2.   Delivery valve 3.   Cylinder 4.   Piston 5.   Connecting rod 6.   Crank 7.   Suction valve 8.   Suction pipe 9.   Piston rod 10.Sump level
