CHAPTER I
Introduction
Mr. N. S. Govinda Rao was appointed as Professor of Civil and Hydraulic
Engineering. He took over charge on 24th July 1950.
Other staff to the section is being recruited.
Prof. Govinda Rao attended the meetings of the Central Board of Irrigation,
the World Congress on Large Dams, and the International Commission on Canals and
Drainage and took part in their discussions.
The foundation stone for the Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Laboratories
was laid by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the President of the Republic of India and the
Visitor to the Indian Institute of Science, on loth January 1951.
? During the year, schemes were drawn up for installing and equipping the
following laboratories:?
(i) Materials Testing Laboratory.
? (2) Hydraulic Machines laboratory, and
(3) Soil Mechanics laboratory.
Investigations were started on determination of hydro-static pressures by elec-
. trical analogy methods.
CHAPTER II
Proposed Hydraulic and Civil Engineering Laboratories
The Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Laboratories are proposed to be equipped for doing basic
? research apart from giving advanced post-graduate training to students in the civil engineering branches
as allied to power development. It will also undertake investigations on problems referred to by the
power supply industry in the country.
The following laboratories are to be established:?
CO Hydraulic Machines laboratory.
(2) Hydro ? dynamics laboratory.
(3) Soil Mechanics laboratory.
(4) Materials Testing laboratory.
The Hydraulic Machines and Hydro-dynamics laboratories are for the present to be equipped
with the following units only.
i. Turbines. A Kaplan turbine of a rated capacity of 30 H.P. working with a net head of
30 ft, a-Francis Turbine of 20 H.P. capacity also utilising a head of 3o feet and a Pelton wheel developing
7 50 H.P. under a net fall of 300 feet; representative each of a low, medium, and high head type of turbine
are to be installed. The Kaplan turbine will have arrangements for observation of cavitation conditions
in its runners. A small unit to undertake basic research on high velocity flow to facilitate design of high
head turbines will also be installed. In this unit, studies will be made of air entrainment in high velocity
jets, the destructive action on various types of materials, and the behaviour of jets under high and low
atmospheric pressures.
2. Pumps. The following types of pumps are proposed to be installed:? single stage low pres-
sure centrifugal pump, horizontal multistage turbine pump, horizontal shaft axial flow pump, high lift high
speed horizontal multistage centrifugal pump, reciprocating and other types of pumps. The following
other unitg will be installed
3. Pipes, to study friction losses in penstock pipes, bends, jets water hammer action etc;
4. Hydraulic Flume, with glass sides and bottom capable of being adjusted to different
slopes to study pressures at the foundations of and in hydraulic structures;
5. Siphons, to study flow and pressures in siphons of various types;
6. Geometrically similar models of gates, valves, high co-efficient weirs, standing wave flurries
? and venturi meter;
7. Gauges and meters, of various types, manometers and current meters; and
Hydrodynamic models, for solution of problems pertaining to training of rivers, and
canals to safeguard hydraulic structures.
9. Soil Mechanics laboratory. This will be equipped with liquid limit device, Proctor's
needle and compaction apparatus, unconfined compression testing apparatus, direct shear and tri-axial
shear testing apparatus, California bearing test equipmmt, and augers and drilling equipment for taking
out samples. These are in Addition to the other laboratory articles of common use.
to. Materials Testing Laboratory. These include apparatus for testing cements and
concrete as well. They consist of a 200 ton Avery's Testing Machine, Brinnel's Hardness Testing machine,
