Utilization of Drone Mapping (Photogrammetry) Application to Evaluate the Volume of Inundation Area at Margatiga Dam

In 2017 the planned volume of the Margatiga Dam inundation area at an elevation of +23,000 is 42,311,835.60 m3. Using the drone mapping method (photogrammetry) there is a difference in the volume of the puddle area at an elevation of +23,000 with a result of 41,005,959.97 m3. The method used to evaluate the volume of the inundation area at the Margatiga Dam is taking field data using drones in the form of aerial photography, testing the accuracy of GCP (Ground Control Point) geometry and calculating volume using Autodesk Civil 3D software. The volume was obtained after going through an accuracy test on the geometry of GCP alternative one with an accuracy test value of 0.723 meters and an RMSE value of 0.438. Processing using Agisoft software is processed into two parts, namely the first processing using alternative GCP geometry 1 and the second processing using alternative GCP geometry 2. The design of the planning consultant in 2017 regarding the reservoir volume at the Margatiga Dam at an elevation of +23,000 was 42,311,835.60 m3. By evaluating the volume of inundation using the photogrammetric method, a volume of 41,005,959.97 m3 was obtained with a selection of contour intervals of 0.75 meters.

The role of driver's eye height in the design of crest curves of roads

AbstractThe driver's eye height from the ground, as what drivers can see on the road, is essential for their safety and for avoiding road hazards. Using the statistical analysis of vehicles sample, the statistical parameters of the measured set of values were determined. A one-sample t-test was done to check whether the measured sample differs from the driver's eye height value specified in the Hungarian design guidelines. A new range of driver's eye height has been found, which is considered an update to the current value and might be applied in the upcoming road design. Parallel with the eye-height analysis, sight distances at vertical crest curves were modeled by AutoCAD Civil 3D. The minimum radiuses of the crest curves were defined for human eye height and for sensors of autonomous vehicles.

Heritage BIM Approach for roman pavements

The growing necessity to design and digitally representation of historical pavements has led the specialists to use different Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools to control the road design and construction phases. In this research paper, a Heritage BIM (H-BIM) approach was developed to recreate an archaeological road to accomplish the disruption analysis of stone pavements. In detail, within Autodesk Infraworks the conceptual model of the road and the digital terrain model (DTM) was generated; then the road corridor design process was performed within Autodesk Civil 3D using a parametric road section which was created by means of Subassembly composer, a Civil 3D extension. Subsequently, a visual programming application, Dynamo, based on Python language, was adopted to extract and update corridor information. In detail, a workflow was developed to implement a disruption analysis of road stone pavements and the output of the calculation were inserted in the model. As preliminary results, a tool is proposed to support the authorities and experts during the managing processes.

Capítulo 7: Diseño de canaleta Parshall

I. INTRODUCTIONThe Parshall Flume, which was invented in 1920 by R. Parshall, is mostly used in wastewater and crop supply. Utilizing equations, Parshall established dimensions that fit the design, one of the advantages is the conversion of position energy to velocity energy since in other measurement structures there are minimum energy losses in this one it does not allow sedimentation.
 The structuring of the project is adhered to by different models that define its behavior and limit its use. This is the case of an approach length of the channel entrance, which is nothing more than a primary distance for the action of the flow within the channel. Throughout history, some studies were conducted in an attempt to establish an approximate and realistic value of the length at the time of measurements, but the theories put forward were lost. Some people link this length with the narrowing of the gorge, and others suggest flow conditions before entering the flume.
 For the development of the project established with its respective objectives, the respective structuring was carried out: For the measurement, the points already established in the field will be taken with the help of a total station, GPS, to verify the respective measurements of the Parshall flume. For the calculations and the design, the points will be introduced in the civil 3D to be able to verify if the points taken are the correct ones and what distances they have between them, through this, we can apply different methods to be able to verify the design that has this Parshall flume. For the evaluation and layout of the gutter, if it is the case, we will carry out a layout in plan with the data already calculated in the office and we will evaluate the situation in which it is so that we can apply a possible solution so that a defect does not occur.
 In this report, we focus on the design and redesign of a hydraulic irrigation channel where we find a Parshall section, which has the function of measuring the flow found in that section. The measurements found in the field can be verified in the office using formulas and software to verify if the data are correct, if so we can say that it is well designed, otherwise we will look for a possible solution by doing a field study.

Rejuvenation and Beautification of River and Nala

Nowadays almost all water bodies in India are getting more and more polluted and facing with three major problems which are likely to be Untreated Sewage, Solid waste and abetting encroachment or slums areas along the bank of River, nala or any water body. Due to population development, outdated storm water drainage systems, climate change, and poor management of utility infrastructures, significant damage has recently been done to urban areas, including Hyderabad City, the capital of Telangana. One of the most practical methods to manage these complex urban systems is using process of Rejuvenation of the Nala and pollution abetment works by diverting the incoming Sewage leading to Nala in the Designed Sewerage Systems. In this research work, the framework is prepared for Rejuvenation of Polluted Nala channel and Designing Sewerage System for sewage outfall from the abetting slums including effective management of the nala system. This study is divided into three main parts which consists of 1. Contribution of Upstream Catchment area-Determination of the contribution of Catchment flow from Upstream to Confluence point of Nala and delineation of the Catchment area. 2. Nala Channelization- The Inlet flow has been intercepted and diverted to STP and total carrying capacity of Nala is found and check has been determined. 3. Design of Sewerage System- Determining the Sewage flow generation beside the Nala and four Inlets joining the Nala. For the first stage various Design Software like Civil 3D, Power Civil, Infraworks were used to simulate the existing catchment flow leading at the Confluence point then by using capabilities of QGIS 3.16.11 software application the Drainage networks, stream orders and elevation details has been achieved. In the Second stage the carrying capacity of storm water Nala is been determined by making calculation check for total of upstream flow, storm water flow and Inlet flows. Finally the third stage determines the generation of Sewage flow tapping and diverting it to the Sewer System by Designing and optimizing it in SewerGEMs select-series 4 Software which will get carried to the Sewage Treatment Plants, thereby treating the water as per CPCB-NGT norms. The proposed strategic approach is able to abate the pollution in Nala, maintain the ecological flow and conserve the public realm along the river.

Case Studies and Challenges of Implementing Geotechnical Building Information Modelling in Malaysia

Unforeseen ground conditions are some of the main contributors to construction cost over-runs and late completion. Recent research trends have witnessed the scopes of building information modeling (BIM) technology being extended to subsoil and substructure constructions, or simply known as geotechnical BIM. This paper aimed to explore the procedures of developing 3D subsoil models through two case studies in Malaysia. The geotechnical BIM processes were performed by commercial software, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2017, with the extension of the Geotechnical Module. The modeling procedures can be divided into three main stages, namely data collection, data interpretation, and data visualization. The subsoil models were successfully developed at different levels of detailing to serve for different applications. The results showed that the 3D subsoil modeling required huge modeling and computational efforts, particularly when dealing with tropical residual soil profiles in Malaysia that are highly intricate. Thus, an adequate soil strata generalization was required to simplify the generated subsoil model. Data collection and management was identified as one of the main challenges of promoting geotechnical BIM in Malaysia at a macro-scale. Despite the challenges, successful implementation of the geotechnical building information in the present case studies were proved to be capable of promoting interoperability of soil data, which is an essential element in sustainable construction.
