Building Materials and Construction is primarily written for the students of Civil Engineering to make them familiar with building materials and construction practices to build their interest in the field. The book starts with explanation of building material concepts and goes on to explain all the important materials like Lime, Bricks, Cement, Timber, Concrete etc. in separate chapters following the same flow as prescribed in major universities. Special emphasis is given on construction materials such as foundation work, stone and brick masonry, plastering work, door and window design, roof and floors, DPC etc.
The concept of Dictionary of Synonyms & Antonyms is to provide illustrated examples to show how words of less obvious sense are used, and markers such as ‘informal’, ‘derogatory’, and ‘obsolete’ highlight the usage style. It is replete with appropriate words that will help improve the vocabulary to a great extent. A person who has to use words to express himself or his thoughts in a better manner will benefit from owning a Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms. It is a handy reference book for better choice of words to enhance and improve language skills.This book serves this purpose more than any other. This useful reference goes beyond a thesaurus, explaining the fine shades ...
The book discusses different branches of geology, earths internal structure, composition of the earth, hydrogeology, geological structures and their impact on terrain stability and solution of several engineering problems related with stability and suitability of site for construction
Embark on a journey of understanding and exploration with "Vishwa Hindu Parishad: An Introduction" by Anil Kumar Mishra, a comprehensive guide to one of the world's largest Hindu organizations. Join Anil Kumar Mishra as he delves into the history, mission, and activities of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), offering readers a nuanced understanding of its origins, principles, and significance in the global Hindu community. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, Mishra sheds light on the VHP's role in promoting Hindu unity, culture, and values both within India and around the world. With its rich history and diverse membership, the VHP has played a significant role in shaping the ...
An extraordinary detailed manual on statecraft and the science of living by one of classical India's greatest minds; Kautilya; also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta; wrote the Arthashastra not later than 150 AD though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however; it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems; Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra which is the most comprehensive treatise of sta...
This book provides an overview of the diversified soil regimes in India. In addition to the historical advances in soil research and its limitations, it describes the monitoring of various soil conditions and soil uses to improve productivity. Discussing topics such as climate, geology and geomorphology, major soil types and their classification, soil mineralogy and clays, soil micromorphology, soil biogeochemistry, benchmark soils, land evaluation and land use planning, soil health and fertility and soil resilience, the book highlights the multiple uses of soils in industry, human health care, mitigation of challenges due to climate change and construction. It also presents measures for a brighter future of soil science in India, such as imposing organic farming principles toward sustainable agriculture in the context of the second green revolution besides alleviating the poverty and providing the employment opportunities among the farming communities in India.
Over the past 25 years, the molecular electrostatic potential has become firmly established as an effective guide to molecular interactions. With the recent advances in computational technology, it is currently being applied to a variety of important chemical and biological systems. Its range of applicability has expanded from primarily a focus on sites for electrophilic and nucleophilic attack to now include solvent effects, studies of zeolite, molecular cluster and crystal behavior, and the correlation and prediction of a wide range of macroscopic properties. Moreover, the increasing prominence of density functional theory has raised the molecular electrostatic potential to a new stature o...

The gap between experimental objects and models for calculations in chemistry is being bridged. The size of experimental nano-objects is decreasing, while reliable calculations are feasible for larger and larger molecular systems. The results of these calculations for isolated molecules are becoming more relevant for experiments. However, there are still significant challenges for computational methods. This series of books presents reviews of current advances in computational methodologies and applications. Chapter 1 of this volume provides an overview of the theoretical and numerical aspects in the development of the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Chapter 2 demonstrates a multiplicativ...
