Notes on introduction and design ofTEMPORARY WORKS (BTECH).pdfVICTOR A. KIPLAGAT
Temporary works refer to structures used during construction but not part of the finished project, such as formwork, falsework, shoring, scaffolding, and temporary access. Shoring is a temporary support system used to prevent structural collapse during construction. There are three main types of shoring: raking shores which use inclined members to laterally support walls; flying or horizontal shores which provide horizontal support between two walls; and dead or vertical shores which use vertical posts to support horizontal members bearing wall loads. Underpinning strengthens existing foundations by excavating beneath them and adding new supports like concrete, piles, or beams.

This study analyzed bubble deck slabs with elliptical hollow balls strengthened with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets using finite element analysis. Bubble deck slabs replace concrete in the middle with hollow balls to reduce weight. Elliptical balls have higher load capacity than spherical balls but also higher deformation. The study aimed to reduce deformation of bubble deck slabs with elliptical balls using GFRP sheets. Models of bubble deck slabs with and without GFRP sheets were analyzed under load using ANSYS software. Results showed that GFRP sheets reduced deformation and increased load capacity compared to slabs without GFRP. Slabs with elliptical balls and GFRP sheets made of higher strength M30 concrete also performed better
Time-cost-risk optimization in construction work by using ant colony algorithmVISHNU VIJAYAN
This document discusses using an ant colony optimization algorithm to optimize the time, cost, and risk of construction projects. It begins by explaining that time and cost are important factors for construction projects, and that considering risk is also important for meeting expectations. It then describes using an ant colony algorithm, which models the behavior of ant colonies, to evaluate different combinations of activity durations and resources to find a optimal balance between minimizing time, cost and risk. The document provides an example of applying this approach to a sample 7 activity construction project, evaluating various resource options and their associated time, costs and risks.
This document provides an overview of surveying and leveling. It defines surveying as determining the relative positions of points on Earth through direct or indirect measurements. The main objectives of surveying are preparing maps and plans. Leveling is defined as determining relative heights or elevations of points through direct measurement of vertical distances from a reference level. Common instruments used for leveling include a level, tripod, staff, tape, and pegs. Leveling follows the principle of obtaining a horizontal line of sight to measure vertical distances of points above or below this line. Key leveling terms defined include bench mark, height of instrument, backsight, foresight, and change point. Methods for recording level data in a field book are also

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs
