WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM

-safe disposal of all human wastes is necessary.

To accomplish satisfactory results, human wastes must be disposed of so that:

-they will not contaminate any drinking water supply.

-they will not give rise to a public health hazard by being accessible to vectors(carriers) that may come into contact with food or drinking water.

-they will not cause violation of laws or regulations governing water pollution or sewage disposal.

- they will not pollute or contaminate the waters of any bathing beach, shellfish-breeding ground, or stream used for public or domestic water-supply purposes, or for recreational purposes.

-the will not give rise to a nuisance due to odor or unsightly appearance.

HYRDROLOGY CLASS VISITS PAGASA

Last Thursday (August 6), the 4^th year hydrology class visited the local PAG ASA office to observe how meteorological data and forecasting are gathered and analyzed. The main objective of this visit is to further their knowledge in the measuring relevant data like rainfall, temperature, wind velocity, pressure, humidity etc.

In behalf of the CE class, I would like to thank PAG ASA for accommodating us and sharing their expertise in meteorological data gathering.

CEIVIL ENGINEERING SPAGHETTI BRIDGE BUILDING COMPETITION

My students in Strength of Materials engage themselves into a 2 month long spaghetti bridge building competition as part of their requirement in my subject. This will enable students to design and learn on their own, how to create a strong and economical bridge considering the rules given to them before the contest.

Pictures of the bridges made (30-55% complete)

STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A TWO STOREY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

First floor area = 65 sq m

Second floor area = 65 sq m

Building is reinforced concrete.

Sample Outputs:

STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF 2-1000L WATER TANK STRUCTURE (JUNE 2009)

This water tank structure is used to carry two 1000L (max) stainless water tank. One tank is placed 5 meters above ground and the other is 8 meters. The truss structure is made of angular bars.

Truss analysis (code checking, steel section selection), baseplate design, reinforced concrete column and footing design are performed in this project.

It is always interesting how structure behave when loads are applied. Here is an animation on the behavior of the steel structure under maximum loading. Deflection is scaled at 0.001 m per m.
