Glen Matteson says:

Why would the webs of a plate girder bridge (deck type, for a railroad) be substantially shallower AT THE POINTS OF SUPPORT (piers) than along most of the span? (So far, I’ve found information only on bridges where the web depth is less NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE SPAN (situations where apparently the girder is acting as a cantilever).

rahul says:

Presently i am working on a Intake well structure where the sinking process is supplemented with two grabing cranes 320 P&H but it is not sinking in proper way which leads to delay in my schedule I have checked it against friction resistance also the design seems to be correct. so what can be the possible reasons for it and what more can be done ?

Manjari says:

Dear Sir,
We are having problem in deciding which pipe material should be used for different diameters in pressure irrigation. For diameters 300mm to 600 mm we finally decided to use DI pipe but exact technical points are not known and people are demanding MS pipe f0r the same diameter as it is much cheaper than DI. We followed AWWA and IS 5822 for designing MS pipe thickness , putting all the checks it is found to be safe for the same diameters. Please Enlighten on this issue.
