This book equips the students with the basic knowledge of certain facets of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics as needed by them in the beginning of their engineering education. The book is primarily tailored to conform to the first-year B.Tech syllabus of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU). It will be useful for the students in other universities too. The first part of the book discusses the fundamentals of civil engineering and the characteristics of some civil structures, such as buildings, roads, bridges, and dams. The second part deals with the topics of engineering mechanics that help in finding the solutions to problems of engineering. It deals with the systems of forces to which rigid bodies are subjected, centroids of plane figures, moment of inertia of some important geometrical figures, and the laws of friction. Worked-out examples, practice problems, and objective-type questions in each chapter are designed to reinforce the learning of the subject matter.
This manual presents 31 laboratory-tested experiments in hydraulics and hydraulic machines. This manual is organized into two parts. The first part equips the student with the basics of fluid properties, flow properties, various flow measuring devices and fundamentals of hydraulic machines. The second part presents experiments to help students understand the basic concepts, the phenomenon of flow through pipes and flow through open channels, and the working principles of hydraulic machines. For each experiment, the apparatus required for conducting the experiment, the probable experimental set-up, the theory behind the experiment, the experimental procedure, and the method of presenting the experimental data are all explained. Viva questions (with answers) are also given. In addition, the errors arising during recording of observations, and various precautions to be taken during experimentation are explained with each experiment. The manualis primarily designed for the undergraduate degree students and diploma students of civil engineering, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering.
A YOUNG REPORTER dies a dramatic death. A VETERAN JOURNALIST investigating paid news is murdered in his hotel room. A BUSINESS TYCOON tries to seize control of a large media group. In the midst of a private party hosted by a media mogul in Coorg, murder strikes, sending shockwaves through its influential guests. When Inspector Dhruvi Kishore arrives at the scene, she finds, to her consternation, that some of her suspects ? prominent politicians, businessmen, a blackmailer and a purveyor of fake news ? have fled. She pursues them to Delhi, only to find herself drawn into the bewildering world of fake news, paid news and tailored news. Fighting against forces trying to shut down her investigation, Dhruvi struggles to weed out the truth from a web of well-constructed lies before time runs out. Revealing a world where ethics are scarce and lucre is abundant, Conspirator weaves a thrilling tale about how the people who uncover others? secrets often have the most to hide.
This book equips the students with basic knowledge of certain facets of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics as needed by them in the beginning of their engineering education. The book is primarily tailored to conform to the first-year B.E. curriculum as per Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) scheme of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belgaum, Karnataka. It is a basic undergraduate textbook useful for students of all branches of engineering not only under VTU but also for other universities. The text, now in its Second Edition, is thoroughly revised and updated. Divided into five modules, the book spreads over 13 chapters. The first module discusses about Elements of Civil Engineering and the related engineering structures, such as buildings, roads, bridges, and dams as well as basic concepts of Engineering Mechanics. The second and third modules deal with the application of basic concepts of Engineering Mechanics in analyzing the coplanar force systems. In module four, centroids and moment of inertia of plane figures are discussed. The kinematics of bodies is presented in module five. KEY FEATURES • Written in such a style that students as well as instructors should find this text immensely useful • Includes numerous exhaustive exercise problems and the practice problems, along with their solutions • Explains theoretical concepts with worked-out examples NEW TO THIS EDITION • Rearrangement of chapters as per the latest curriculum • Includes 2 new chapters on ‘Rectilinear Motion’ and ‘Curvilinear Motion’ • Incorporates new sections in Chapter 2 and Chapter 9
