Geotechnical Evaluation of a Spillway Failure due to Peculiar Design of the Structure

by Farhat Javed and Muhammad Asghar Nasim

This paper presents several movies. The file sizes of these movies are listed below. Unless you have a very fast Internet connection downloading these files can take a long time. The files are 1.5 to 21 megabytes.

  1. Niralidam.mpg 3 838 kB (3.74 MB)
  2. Spillway from Downstream.mpg 12 099 kB (11.8 MB)
  3. Spillway from Upstream.mpg 5 459 kB (5.33 MB)

Consider a typical file of 5 MegaBytes (about 5 million bytes). If you are connected to the Internet by a T3 line (55 Mbps line), as most universities and larger corporations in the USA are, then it may take no more than 1 second to download it when the Internet traffic is not too crowded. If you have a faster or slower connection, the downloading time will vary accordingly (see the table below). For example, with a regular 56 Mbps modem, it will take 24 minutes (minimum theoretical speed). These do not depend on the Web server (ejge.com), these depend on the slowest link in your connection to the Internet.

Connection
type
Connection
speed
Download time(*)
for a 10 MB file
T3 55 Mbps 1.8 sec
T1 1.2 Mbps 1 min 23 sec/10 MB
DSL or 'cable modem' 1 Mbps 1.8 min/10 MB
Slow DSL or cable 100 kbps 17.5 min/10 MB
Regular modem 56 kbps 47 min/10 MB

(*) These are minimum theoretical times. Mbps: Megabits per second, MBps: Megabytes per second
kbps: kilobits per second, kBps: kilobytes per second
One byte contains 8 data bits, but count 10 because of the start and stop-bits in transmission.

If you are ready, here are the links to download them:

  1. Niralidam.mpg (3.74 MB)

  2. SpillwayFromDownstream.mpg (11.8 MB)

  3. SpillwayFromUpstream.mpg (5.33 MB)
