    Study Notes

    Building Information Modeling (BIM)

    • BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure project.
    • Organizations that use BIM software include architects, engineers, contractors, and owners.
    • The concept of BIM became an agreed term in the early 2000s.
    • Building information models (BIMs) contain digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of a project, including spatial relationships, quantities, and properties.

    Agricultural Drainage Systems

    • The main types of drainage systems employed in agriculture are surface drainage systems and subsurface drainage systems.
    • The function of the field drainage system is to remove excess water from the soil surface and subsurface.
    • The purpose of an outfall or outlet in an agricultural drainage system is to discharge water into a receiving body, such as a stream or river.
    • The classification of drainage systems in agriculture is based on the type of drainage, including surface drainage, subsurface drainage, and tile drainage.

    Tile Drainage Systems

    • The original material used to create tile drainage systems in agriculture was clay.
    • The main purpose of tile drainage is to remove excess water from the soil, reducing waterlogging and improving soil aeration.
    • Commonly used materials for tile drainage systems today include polyethylene, PVC, and concrete.
    • The historical design of a 'C' shaped channel tile in tile drainage systems features a curved shape to improve flow characteristics.
    • Subsurface drainage systems, including tile drainage, are the most effective means of draining subsurface water in agricultural drainage systems.

    Abney Level

    • An Abney level is a handheld instrument used to measure the inclination of a surface or object.
    • Abrams' law states that the strength of a cement paste is inversely proportional to the water-to-cement ratio.
    • Abrasion refers to the wear and tear of a material's surface due to friction or impact.
    • The internal mirror in an Abney level is used to reflect the image of a spirit level, allowing the user to read the inclination.
    • An Abney level can be used to measure the slope of a surface, set grades, and check the accuracy of other leveling instruments.
