Types Of Roofs


Types Of Roofs

November 4, 2014
Roofs are the upper covering of buildings which provides protection from sun heat, rain etc. Furtherly roofs are classified in many different types.
Requirement of good roofs:-
1.It should be durable against wind ,rain and sun
2.It should be such that the desireable insulation against sound and heat.It should be well drained.
4.It should be fire resistant.
5.It should be structurraly stable of taking the load
Different types of roofs are:-
1.Single Roofs:- These are those roofs which contains only the rafters which are supported at the ridge and at the eaves.These roofs are used only when the span is limited to only 5metres.
2.Double or Purlin Roofs:- These roofs have two basic elements rafters and purlin.The purlin give intermediate support to rafters.
3.Pitched or Sloping Roofs:- A roof with loping surface is known as a Pitched Roof.Pitched roofs are basically of the following types:-
   a.Lean to Roof
   b.Hip Roof
   c.Gable Roof
   d.Gambrel Roof
4.Curved Roofs:- This are the roof which have a curve structure such as domes of mosques and temples etc.
5.Flat Roof:- This are roof are often known as terraced roof.This are the most commonly used roof and is very durable.

Geometrical standards for Runways (Transportation Engineering)

Geometric standards for runways Geometric standards for various runways elements are as follow; 1.   length 2.   width 3.   longitudinal gradient & profile 4.   transverse gradient 5.   runway intersections 1) length Selection of length of a runway is the most important decision in the planning of landing area. Runway lengths for various types of airports recommended by ICAO are for sea level elevation, standard atmospheric conditions; ·         59 0 F or 15 0 C ·         29.92”barometer pressure ·         zero effective gradient ·         No wind The basic lengths recommended by FAA are based on the same conditions except that temperature of 100 0 F (41 0 C above standard) has been included in the length. Necessary corrections have to be applied for changes in elevation, temperature a...

To measure the pH of different samples in the laboratory.

Ø Experiment 1                                    To measure the pH of different samples in the laboratory. Ø Theory                                 The pH scale is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. pH symbol rooted in the French " p ouvoir h ydrogene " (power of hydrogen).It measures the acidity or basicity of a solution. A pH of 7 means it is a neutral solution. Pure water has a pH of 7. A pH of less than 7 means the solution is acidic. A pH of more than 7 means the solution is basic. The less pH, the more acidic the solution is. The more pH, the more basic the solution is. pH stands for the power of H, or the amount of...
