SHOTS - AIRPORT ENGINEERING

💥 As per ICAO, minimum width of safety area for instrumental runway is 300m. 

💥 The engine failure case for determining the basic runway length may require either clear way or runway. 

💥 The minimum width of clear way is 150m. 

💥 Air port reference temp=Td+ (Tavg-Td)/3. 

💥 The basic runway length should be increased at the rate of 7 percent per 300m rise in elevation above the mean sea level. [54] 

💥 Zero fuel weight of an aircraft is equal to the sum of empty operating weight and maximum pay load. 

💥 As per ICAO for aircraft serving big aircraft, the cross wind component should not exceed 35kmph. 

💥 Calm period the wind intensity should be less than 6.4kmph. 

💥 For landing case the aircraft should stop at 60% of landing distance. 

💥 According to ICAO all markings on the runway are white colour. 

💥 In instrumental landing system, the middle markers are located about 1 km ahead of the runway threshold. 

💥 The centre to centre spacing of heliport lighting is 7.5m. 

💥 The width of the taxiway is smaller than the runway. 

💥 Alligator cracking is the example of failure in flexible pavements. 

💥 Hanger is a place where aircrafts to be repaired and service to be done. 

💥 The length of clear zone for none instrument runway of a small aircraft is 300m. 

💥 Wind rose diagram is used for the purpose of runway orientation

ROOF - Building Materials short notes and previous year questions

Image
ROOF • Heavy rainfall / snowfall : sloped roof  • Normal rainfall : flat roof  • Architectural : curved roof  TERMS  1. WALL PLATE : transfer load from inclined member to vertical column  2. TEMPLATE : distribute the load over a larger area  3. HIP : if external angle > 180  4. VALLEY : if external angle < 180  5. PRINCIPLE RAFTERS : carries entire load of truss or roof  6. COMMON RAFTERS : carries load of roof covering materials  7. HIP RAFTER : rafter connecting hip points  8. VALLEY RAFTER : rafter connecting Valley points  9. JACK RAFTER : rafter smaller than common rafter  10. VERGE : edge of the gable in a pitched roof  11. BARGE BOARD : wooden plank connecting eaves board and ridge KING POST TRUSS   • Span 5 - 8 m  • Pitch 30 - 40  • King post carries tension loads  • Struts carry compression loads  • Joint connecting principle rafter and king post : mortice and Tenon jo...
