Educational Trip to UP Diliman and PHILVOCS

The first part of the start was on UP Dilemma Engineering Laboratory, the first equipment introduce to us was the hydraulic bench, it is used to investigate channel flow, hydraulic Jump, determining the coefficient of liberate flow of the system. The second equipment was air holler assembly and oil pipe assembly, for the air pipe it is used to determine friction losses in pipe and displace, oil pipe it is used to determine if the flow is laminal or turbulent, velocity distribution in pipes.The opposite equipment were the closed overlap wind tunnel, it determines the pressure distribution and velocity distribution around respective(a) bodies, Portable Wind tunnel, it determines the lift and drag around various bodies. The other equipments are the different types of Universal Testing Machines, which determines the strength of the material organism tested. For the interrogatory of steel reinforcement they are determining the yield nous and breakage point of the steel, while on the cover cylinder testing they are only to determine the ultimate strength of concrete because concrete doesnt have yield point.The last equipment they show us was the rainfall simulator which determines the discharge flow of water on the drainage system. The second part of the trigger off was on PHILIPPICS, here they discuss us the recently earthquake that happened on Boll which is 7. 2 magnitude. The presentation they show us tells us how devastating the earthquake was, it has destroy a lot of establishments and churches that are centuries old, the place was a wide-cut mess.In here they explained to us how disastrous an earthquake can be. For us organism Civil Engineering students they have a presentation which shows the full denture shaking test of CHUB houses, which shows the difference of a sub ensample and standard built houses. They also thought us here on how to be prepared when earthquakes occurred and also remind us to check our houses if they are beneficial when t ime earthquake occurs.Because of the this educational prompt it awakens me that the reality of responsibility of macrocosm a Civil Engineer we should not only be compel to Just do our work, we also need to ensure the safety of the spate around us. It is strongly recommended for us to have this kind of educational trip because it is true that we cant learn everything with Just the four corners of the classroom, sometimes we need to go beyond the four corners of a classroom.
