Educational Trip to UP Diliman and PHILVOCS

The first part of the moorage was on UP Dilemma engineering science Laboratory, the first equipment introduce to us was the hydraulic bench, it is use to investigate channel be given, hydraulic Jump, ascertain the coefficient of discharge flow of the system. The spot equipment was air pipe assembly and fossil oil pipe assembly, for the air pipe it is apply to come up friction losses in pipe and discharge, oil pipe it is used to determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent, velocity distribution in pipes.The new(prenominal) equipment were the closed circuit wind tunnel, it determines the pressure distribution and velocity distribution well-nigh various bodies, Portable Wind tunnel, it determines the nobble and drag just about various bodies. The other(a) equipments argon the different types of Universal exam Machines, which determines the strength of the material being tested. For the interrogation of steel reinforcement they are determining the yield intimate and bre akage point of the steel, while on the concrete cylinder testing they are only to determine the ultimate strength of concrete because concrete doesnt have yield point.The last equipment they return us was the rainfall simulator which determines the discharge flow of water on the drainage system. The present moment part of the trip was on PHILIPPICS, present they discuss us the recently temblor that happened on Boll which is 7. 2 magnitude. The presentation they shew us tells us how devastating the seism was, it has destroy a lot of establishments and churches that are centuries old, the place was a total mess.In hither they explained to us how disastrous an earthquake gage be. For us being Civil design students they have a presentation which shows the enough scale shaking test of chub houses, which shows the difference of a sub model and standard built houses. They also thought us here on how to be alert when earthquakes occurred and also remind us to check up on our hou ses if they are safe when time earthquake occurs.Because of the this educational trip it awakens me that the reality of function of being a Civil orchestrate we should not only be oblige to Just do our work, we also shoot to ensure the safety of the people around us. It is strongly recommended for us to have this manikin of educational trip because it is true that we cant short-change everything with Just the four corners of the classroom, sometimes we take away to go beyond the four corners of a classroom.
