What are they saying about the Tragedy ?


RAT HOLE MINING 



It is a well known fact that 15 miners are stuck in a Rat Hole Mine in the Meghalya State of India since December 13 of 2018. 

A news Article is now flashing that Indian Navy found the Dead Body of one of the miner in the search operation . It is hard to guess what happed with the remaining 14 miners and clear picture will only emerge after any official statement f the operation search team. 

The official Confirmation of Indian Navy regarding the body of miner is as follows :- 





So What is meant By Rat Hole Mine :-

⇨ Rat Hole Mines are Horizontal tunnels, around 3 to 4 Feet high with longitudinal spread of as high as 160 feet. The one in news is estimated of 160 ft length. Even holes as long as 300 ft have also been noticed by Journalist in the Meghalya. Workers need to crawl in such mines for extracting coal. These Pits are called small scale mines and operates beyond the scope of Coal Mines Nationalisation Act.

⇨ So What actually happened ? 15 workers were mining in one such mine situated in East Jaintia Hills of Meghalya. The water from the adjacent 'Lytein' river gushed in to the mine and thus entrapping the miners in to the mine itself.

 ⇨ They are basically illegal, un-monitored mines and coal is extracted by workers using pick axes. It is estimated that annually around 5 metric tonnes of  coal is extracted from such mines. Practice is in general unique to Meghalya. Coal output of these mines are even used by industries in the state.

 ⇨ Illegal mines also causes major problems to the surrounding environment and it is said that such mining activities destroy the environment, pollute the water and kill the fish etc.

 ⇨ National Green Tribunal had put a blanket ban on Coal mining Activities in Meghalya around four years ago. A step taken in a right spirit has unfortunately helped in the increase of the ill legal mining activities in Mehalaya. It is estimated that mining activities prior to this ban were giving the state a revenue of around 700 Crore.

⇨ Several activist opposing the idea of Rat Hole Mines have been severely injured allegedly by Mine Mafia in recent past.

SSC JE MARKS DISTRIBUTION ACROSS VARIOUS SUBJECTS IN OBJECTIVE PAPER OF 2016


We would like to welcome all the visitors who are currently reading this. Efforts are once again being made to analyse the objective paper of SSC Junior Engineer Exam 2016. Same efforts was also made for the objective paper of SSC JE 2012 but after that such efforts were not made by the Admin Team due to the various constraints. 

SSC JE 2017 is scheduled on 23 to 25 Dec 2017 and you all must be trying your level best to achieve the required cutoff percentage. For those, who have completed all the subjects already, it will be very easy to crack the exam. But still few peoples must be trying to cope up the time, which had been wasted by them. As we also belong to the second category of students, so we have an idea of their requirements. ☺ 

An analysis has been carried out by the Admin team for the objective paper of 2016. It is a well understood fact that pattern of paper remain more or less same so this type of marks distribution will help the students in prioritizing the subjects. 

Hope it is going to help you to either begin from the scratch or improve your position if you are already in the race. 

Please comment and share if enjoyed the post and content. Author will be highly indebted of your kind gesture.

Few Points to Ponder :- 

1. Survey :- Although majority of Questions asked were directly from Gupta and Gupta but one question was also asked from Transition curves. Made Easy Notes will help in this regard.
2. Soil Mechanics :- Only 04 Questions were asked from this subject. It seems that this evergreen subject is loosing its charm. But from practical aspects too, soil mechanics is not a very important subject for the jobs where you have to majorly deal with the construction activities. But still you must focus on this subject.
3. Fluid Mechanics :- One question was asked from pressure flow in pipes. Such question are bit harder side as far as Junior Engineer is concerned. Rest of the questions were easy in nature.
4. Open Channel Flow :- Only one question was asked from open channel flow and that too from Hydraulic Jump. 

5. Irrigation Engineering : Only 2 questions. Gupta and Gupta Level. 

6. Highway Engineering ;- One Question from Geometrical Design. 

7. Concrete Technology. : Questions were easy but you need to remember them. Level Gupta and Gupta. 

8. RCC :- Total 09 Questions. Majority of them were based directly on the provisions of IS 456 :2000. One question was also asked from prestress losses. 

9. Steel Structure : 09 Questions from rivets. 

10. Environment : 02 questions. That too from air pollution only. 

11. Building Material : Easy questions. You need to remember them. Gupta and Gupta will suffice. 

12. Estimation and Costing : Total 05 Question. One from Contract terminology. Rest were easy in nature. Gupta and Gupta will suffice. 


As of now I am terminating the post here itself but will enhance it further in coming one or two days by including the analysis of Objective paper of 2014 and 2015. 


Please feel free to suggest anything related to the post and also kindly promote the blog by sending the link to your dear ones.

SEWAGE SYSTEM IN INDIA 

A combination of sewer lines and manholes which helps to dispose the sludge away from the owner's property to either a septic tank or a public line is known as sewage system. In this post we will try to focus on some basic points related to sewage system. This post may not be useful for exam point of view, but we are sure that it will be beneficial for interview point of view Etc. 

Some Basic points which a site Engineer or Contractor has to keep in mind while designing a sewage line are as follows :-

  • The water pipes and sludge pipes entering or exiting a building should be on opposite face of a building. This will avoid the accidental interaction of fresh water and sludge. Moreover positioning of both the pipes on a same face of a building has some pshycological problems associated with it. 
  • The sewage line exiting from the owner's property should connect the main line at an angle of 60 Degree with the direction of the main line. It will avoid the back flowing of water up to some extent in case of blockage in Main public line. 
  • Intercepting Traps can also be provided at the Junction of Building sewer and Public Sewer. These intercepting Traps not only eliminate the possibility of foul smells but also check the entry of rodents in to the Building Sewer. 
  • Anti flood Valve can also be installed at such junction where back flowing of sludge from the Main public line to the Building sewer is a possibility. 

A youtube video is also attached to look at the working of one such trap.


Hope this video has clarified the working of Intercepting Trap.


  • After completion of work testing should be first completed before covering the laid sewer line with concrete or any other material. 
  • Manhole should be constructed at any change in the direction of sewage line or at the change of the gradient. In a straight sewer line Manhole should be kept at a proper spacing. 
  • Manhole dimension depends on the depth of the manhole. The dimension of manhole should increase with depth as with increasing depth it becomes difficult for the inspecting person to enter in to the manhole with small dimension. 
  • Drop Manhole should be constructed at locations where Highest level of sludge in public sewer and invert level of Building sewer has a difference in level of around 600 mm. Drop manholes are provided so that workers can easily operate at such location.  
Testing of Sewer Line
We all have read about few tests which are conducted to locate the seepage in the sewage line. Here we are not going in to the theory part as we know that you all are aware about that. We are providing some video links which will help you to understand these tests in better practical way. 
  • Smoke Test
  • Ball Test

Videos for the remaining test will also be updated once found.
This post will be updated regularly. So Plz feel free to ask anything specific related to this post.

Hope you enjoyed the post. 




All thes Papers are based on the memory of the students who have qualified the exam previously.
