AIRPORT DRAINAGE SYSTEM

AIRPORT DRAINAGE SYSTEM Airport drainage system is similar to highway drainage system. An airport should have a well designed functional drainage system. Lack of well designed airport drainage system may compromise the safety of whole airport system. So, airport drainage system can be termed as the process of removing and controlling the excess of water or flood from the pavements, runways, taxiways, aprons etc. It is quite similar to highway drainage but airports have special challenges and drainage problems. It is seen that airports occupy vast amount of flat lands, so an integrated drainage system is required for airports for the removal of surface and sub surface water. DRAINAGE DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF AIRPORT 1)     RUNOFF ESTIMATION 2)     COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF RUNOFF 3)     SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE NOW, For the estimation of runoff, one should have the basic information about: 1)     RAINFALL ...

AIRPORT ENGINEERING

AIRPORT ENGINEERING AND CIVIL ENGINEERING While listening to this term, most of the people might think that does one have to study separate engineering called airport engineering??   Aerospace engineers or aeronautical engineers are appointed or hired as airport engineers?? The simple answer is probably No. The engineers that work as airport engineers have their bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. So, what actually the aeronautical engineers do?? The answer is they work for Airlines Company or airlines manufacturing company. Aerospace engineers are hired by space centers. So, Civil Engineers or Mechanical Engineers are the personnel who work at airports as ground staffs and Airport Engineers but precisely a Structural Engineer is preferred. This is the reason that I found the importance of Airport Engineering. Now, let’s begin the topic: AIRCRAFT        AND         ...

CIVIL ENGINEERING IN BRIEF

So today I am going to talk about the most fascinating field to study, work and live with. Yeah, I am talking about Engineering and Engineering science. Most of the time people confuse like what it actually is. Most of the people when they first enter for engineering courses, they have the concepts like we study and then work, earn and that’s it. Well, for the most part of it is true but this is a field that cannot be defined within a boundary or within certain limits. From micro works to major works, there is involved Engineering. The person applying it may be conscious or they may not be. So, let’s start a minor trip towards the Engineering and Engineering science. ENGINEERING Engineering can be defined as applying the knowledge scientifically for carrying out certain things in our desired way safely by optimal utilization of available resources keeping various interests in view. ENGINEERING SCIENCE Engineering science can be defined as the study of Engineering as a...
