Test series form an important part of the preparation for the GATE exam. A test series typically contains both subject tests and full-length mock tests. This blog will explain the importance of test series in general and test series at APSEd in specific. What is a Test Series? Practicing questions from test series forms an essential part of the preparation for any competitive exam. Test series help in evaluating one's performance in a particular subject. It could then be used to shift the focus of one's study plan and prepare accordingly. Also, the full-length test series that contains questio ..read more

Flow through pipes is a type of flow in which a fluid flows through a closed conduit. In these cases, fluid experiences certain resistance, losing some energy. Also, pipes of different cross-sections and lengths could be connected in series and parallel in a water supply network, which requires the calculation of equivalent diameters. All the aspects of flow through pipes mentioned above are discussed in this blog. Flow Through Pipes As said, flow through pipes is the flow of a fluid through a closed conduit without or with a free surface of the flow. Flow through pipes having a free surface i ..read more

Rigid pavements are pavements that are made up of cement and concrete materials. By virtue of the materials, rigid pavements offer flexural strength. There are several components of rigid pavement like contraction joints, dowel bars, etc., in order to design a rigid pavement all of which are explained further. Rigid Pavement Characteristics Before getting into rigid pavement design it is important to understand certain characteristics of rigid pavement. As said, rigid pavements are made of concrete, i.e., plain cement concrete, reinforced cement concrete, or prestressed concrete. Rigid Pavemen ..read more

Flexible pavements have negligible or low flexural strength. They are flexible under the action of loads. There are several empirical, semi-empirical, and theoretical methods to design a flexible pavement. In this blog, some of the important methods for designing a flexible pavement are explained. Flexible Pavement Before we get into flexible pavement design, it is important to get familiarised with various aspects of flexible pavement. As said, the flexible pavement has little to no flexural strength, and they showcase flexible structural action under the action of loads. If the lower layer o ..read more

The flow of liquid with one of its surfaces open to the atmosphere is called the open channel flow. The liquid in an open channel flow is subjected to atmospheric pressure, therefore open channel flow can also be defined as the flow of liquid through a passage at atmospheric pressure. Types of open channel flow along with specific energy concepts are covered further. Types of Open Channel Flow The flow in an open channel is classified into the following types. Steady and unsteady flow Uniform and non-uniform flow Laminar and turbulent flow Sub-critical, critical, and super-critical flow Stea ..read more

Permeability is a property of a porous medium like soil by virtue of which any fluids are able to flow through that medium. Permeability of soil can be found either in a lab or in field conditions. Important methods of permeability testing, used in both lab and field approaches are discussed further. Laboratory Tests to Determine Permeability Laboratory methods are easier to perform than field methods. There are many laboratory methods to determine permeability as listed below. Constant head permeameter Falling or variable head permeameter Direct or indirect measurement during odometer test H ..read more
