An Assessment of Structural Safety of Cement Mortar

Lined Irrigation Water Pipeline by Hydrostatic Test

Rizwan Ali*, Hanumanthappa MS, Shyamli Paswan, Ghosh AK, Govindan S Central Water and Power Research Station, Pune-411024, India

Abstract Structural safety of cement mortar-lined water pipeline is a matter of great concern

primarily due to weld defects, fabrication deficiency and assessment of pressure shared

by lining. The verification of structural design of such pipeline and assessment of safety is

generally carried out by conducting prototype hydrostatic test. The present paper is

based on one such type of study conducted by CWPRS, Pune, for Guthpha Lift Irrigation

Scheme, Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh. The pipes of finished internal diameter varying

from 1600–2200 mm have been fabricated with 12 mm thick Grade B mild steel

complying with IS: 2062 specifications. The pipes have been designed further with

internal lining of 15 mm thick cement mortar and external coating of 25 mm cement

mortar for an internal design pressure of 6 kg/cm2. In order to assess structural safety by

conducting prototype hydrostatic test, two lined pipes each of 6 m length and 2200 mm

internal diameter have been joined to form a single pipe of 12 m length to eliminate edge

effects due to welded bulkheads at the ends. The pipeline has been supported on rigid

concrete platform through three saddle supports. Electrical resistance-type strain gauges

have been installed at critical locations in high-stressed zones after removing external

coating of cement mortar. The pipeline has been tested up to 1.5 times of design internal

pressure, i.e., 9.0 kg/cm2. The allowable stress as per design has been taken as 0.66 times

of yield stress with 90% weld efficiency, which worked out to be 1485 kg/cm2. The hoop

tensile stresses in steel pipe computed at different locations based on measured strains

have been found to vary from 300 to 1000 kg/cm2 at 9 kg/cm

2 internal pressure and thus

remain well within allowable limit. The tensile stresses developed in outer cement mortar

coating have been found negligible compared to that developed in the steel pipe

indicating that total applied internal pressure has been shared by the steel pipe only.

Abstract Water is unanimously acknowledged as a symbol of life as it is the most vital for maintaining an environment and ecosystem contributing to support all forms of life. It

plays an important role in fulfilling basic human need for life and health but also in socio-economic development. 18% of the world’s population lack access to safe drinking

water. By 2025, it is estimated that two thirds of the world’s population will live in areas

facing moderate to severe water stress. Transforming the social culture so that it is educated by the principles of equality, equity, and sustainability - especially

inclusiveness, transparency and accountability - is critical to changing the culture of

water management and also it will change accountability of women only for water management.

Land Surface Temperature Estimation using Landsat

ETM+ Data

Chander Kumar Singh* Department of Natural Resources, TERI University, New Delhi-110070, INDIA

Abstract Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be estimated from remotely sensed satellite data.

LST is a key parameter in the physics of land surface processes because it is involved in the energy balance as well as in the evapo-transpiration and desertification processes.

The knowledge of surface temperature is important to a range of issues and themes in

earth sciences central to urban climatology, global environmental change, and human-environment interactions. In this study an attempt has been made to estimate surface

temperature over a part of Thar Desert area using Landsat-7 ETM+ satellite data. The variability of these retrieved LSTs has been investigated with respect to different land

use/ land cover (LULC) types determined from the Landsat visible and NIR channels. The

emissivity per pixel has been retrieved directly from satellite data and has been estimated as narrow band emissivity at the satellite sensor channel in order to have least error in

the surface temperature estimation. The results suggest that the methodology is feasible

to estimate NDVI and surface temperature with reasonable accuracy over desertic terrain.

Keywords: land surface temperature, NDVI, satellite data, Landsat ETM+

River Science Research: Multidisciplinary

To Trans Disciplinary

Harinarayan Tiwari*, Nayan Sharma

Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India

Abstract We are in the decay where water is important as well as complex concern of our day to

day life. River is the main source of surface water. It’s merely essential to figure out the issues that will affect the river changes for successful river management. Due to

enormously uncertain spatial; temporal multidimensional characteristic of river change

it’s very difficult to give exact theoretical concept to address this issue. There is inherent contradiction that what the basis for river management is; since property of river change

cannot be explained and expressed by single factor. Therefore, river changes scenario should have to realize as dynamic process. Integrated assessment of physical and

socioeconomic scales in rivers changes improve our understanding and provide greater

potential for long-term persistence of river management and it will require a conceptual framework. A successful development of conceptual framework should provide a basis for

multi-disciplinary researcher with very diverse goals for river changes to come together

in support of better river management. To see regularity in the behavior of river change, it is necessary to prepare a conceptual framework. In this paper an attempt has been

made to prepare the conceptual framework of river changes to get more to Trans disciplinary research.

Keywords: river changes, river management, conceptual framework, water, Trans disciplinary

River Water and Soil Analysis in Noyyal River, Tirupur

Aswathy V Gopal*, Arun O S, D. Saranyadevi Department of Civil engineering, Jay Shriram Group of Institutions, Avinashipalayam,

Tirupur, Tamilnadu, India

Abstract Tirupur is famous for its textile industries. Because of this, the rate of water pollution is

also very high. The generation of waste water from the industries is the main reason for

the waste water problems to the environment. Some industries are not adopting any proper treatment methods to avoid this pollution, because of the high treatment cost.

Without giving proper treatment the waste water is dumping in to the river streams. By

analyzing the present status of the river Noyyal, which is running through the urban

centers of Tirupur city, it is clear that the river is little polluted. The rate of chemical

oxygen demand (COD) and bio chemical oxygen demand (BOD) are higher than that of normal river water. This clearly indicates that the pollution is not yet controlled

properly. To know the most polluted zone of river Noyyal, a case study is being processed

as a project work. Both the organic and inorganic parameters are tested for each sampling point. All the parameters are varying from each sampling point to another.

Here the study analyzed the heavy metals also but they are all within the WHO limits for the drinking water usage. But the color and odour of the river Noyyal is objectionable.

Hence this study also aims to know the sources of pollutants.

Keywords: River Noyyal, COD, BOD, soil analysis, monitoring, surface water

monitoring
