A Vault (French voûte‚ from Italian volta) is an architectural term for an arched form used to provide a space with a ceiling or roof.[1] The parts of a vault exert lateral thrust that require a counter resistance. When vaults are built underground‚ the ground gives all the resistance required. However‚ when the vault is built above ground‚ various replacements are employed to supply the needed resistance. An example is the thicker walls used in the case of barrel or continuous vaults. Buttresses

GENERAL WORKING AND DESCRIPTION OF COAL HANDLING PLANT In thermal power station‚ Coal is a principal fuel and hence a careful thought is given to the design and layout of the coal handling plant. As the consumption of coal is very large‚ the design and layout of a coal handling plant should be simple but robust with a view to reduce the maintenance and running cost to the lowest possible figure consistent to reliability. Mode of Coal Transportation : Coal is brought to the power station by three

" by William Shakespeare‚ follows the fall of Macbeth from a man in a position of power with a contented life‚ to a man with nothing but “mouth honor” and a corrupted soul. In this essay‚ I wish to show to what extent Macbeth’s tragedy was his own fault. The downfall of Macbeth begins early on in the play when he and Banquo (a fellow Scottish noble) meet the witches. The witches waylay Macbeth and Banquo whilst they were on their way to meet Duncan‚ King of Scotland. They decide to listen to the

History of Earthquakes Throughout its prolonged history‚ the Earth has experienced a myriad of earthquakes that range from minor to major; some of the earthquakes had no fatal impacts while others were extremely catastrophic. However‚ these earthquakes were undeniably vital in shaping the modern world; without them‚ some magnificent landscapes that we see today would not exist. In the following paragraphs‚ we will be discussing the causes and effects of massive earthquakes‚ and exploring earthquakes

The mage-thrust earthquake caused by the subduction of the Indo-Australian plate (oceanic) underneath the Eurasian plate (continental) involved a 20 meter uplift of the sea floor all the way along the fault line which was over 1000 km in length. The uplift of the sea floor displaced billions of cubic tons of water‚ thus setting in motion a tsunami wave which

PROPULSION BACKGROUND Rockets are like other forms of propulsion in that they expend energy to produce a thrust force via an exchange of momentum with some reaction mass in accordance with Newton’s Third Law of Motion. But rockets differ from all other forms of propulsion since they carry the reaction mass with them (self contained) and are‚ therefore

but more importantly‚ they must work in tandem to accomplish two things. First‚ the airplane must generate an amount of thrust that is equal to or greater than the amount of drag. (lect 1/31) Thrust is the aerodynamic force that moves an airplane forward through space. An airplane’s thrust is generated by its propulsion system—the more powerful the engine‚ the greater the thrust generated. Drag is the friction that resists the airplane’s motion as it is moving forward through space—most commonly
