CIVIL ENGINEERING ESTIMATES An estimate is a calculation of the quantities of various items of work‚ and the expenses likely to be incurred there on. The total of these probable expenses to be incurred on the work is known as estimated cost of the work. The estimated cost of a work is a close approximation of its actual cost. The agreement of the estimated cost with the actual cost will depend on accurate use of estimating methods and correct visualization of the work‚ as it will be done. Importance

On Bending the Rules “But Sir‚ you always remind us of the strict implementation of the rules and regulations‚” the young lady protested. “I didn’t let them in because they didn’t show me the document stipulated in the guidelines.” “Yes‚ but in every rule‚ there is always an exception‚” my friend told his staff. “Just let them in. I know them‚ anyway.” When my friend left‚ the young lady gave us a long inquisitive look before she led us to the room. I explained to her that we ran out of time

Load Shedding Power generators have limited capacities. When demand of electricity in a certain area exceeds its generation‚ the supply is to be cut temporarily as a method of reducing the demand on the generators. This temporary reduction in electricity supply is known as load shedding and less formally power cut. Peak load shedding hours are early evenings and mornings when most bulbs are lit and most home appliances are in use. Power is a very important daily need of modern life

Case # 2 SureCut Shears‚ Inc. Applied Corporate Finance 1. In his predictions‚ Mr. Fisher assumed that growth of sales in the year (July 95 till June 96) would be -0.4% – which in the case of a company that has shown sustainable growing profits since 1958 should reflect some negative economic expectations that would be confirmed by the retail industry downturn – with monthly values for 1996 similar to homologues registered in 1995; production would

Symmetrical tonic neck and symmetrical labyrinthine reflexes are hard to distinguish from each other since the head and neck move together. The neck receptors work together with the righting reflex to produce movements of the extremities to help restore balance. The neck reflexes are more effective in modifying upper extremity action‚ and the labyrinthine in modifying those of the lower extremities. The symmetrical tonic neck reflex is the simultaneous flexion of the head/neck and upper extremities

Bending of a Channel Section Experiment Two: Stiffness Report from laboratory work performed on 12 May 2011 as a part of the unit of study CIVL2201 Structural Mechanics Abstract This report has been written to describe an experiment performed on a channel section examining the stiffness of the beam through two differing types of deformation – curvature and deflection. The aim of the experiment was to determine the value of the flexural rigidity (EI) in two different ways; using the curvature

GENERATOR SET KW & KVAR LOAD SHARING IN A PARALLELED SYSTEM LOAD SHARING Load sharing is defined as the proportional division of the kW and kVAR total load between multiple generator sets in a paralleled system. Load sharing is essential to avoid overloading and stability problems on the systems’ generator sets. ACTIVE POWER (KW) LOAD SHARING When generator sets operate in parallel‚ the engine speed governor of each generator set determines the proportional sharing of the total active power
