What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in fluid statics to solve hydrostatic challenges confidently. Master fluid properties, measurement units, Pascal’s principle, and the p = ρgh formula. Apply these to design dams, tanks, and slabs, covering thrust forces, moments, stability against sliding, centres of pressure. Link calculations to reinforcement design and detailing, while adhering to safety standards, building codes, and documentation practices for dependable engineering outcomes.
