Developments in road and building technology and operations are now available to designers, builders and operators and building owners who want to maximize both economic and environmental performances. The book is based on empirical practices and experience of individual engineers, with an approach of emphasizing on the theoretical aspects. In India several organizations namely, Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), Ministry of Road Transport and Highway (MORTH), Indian Road Congress (IRC), Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Public Works Department (PWD) along with some educational institutions are contributing knowledge and newer concepts to the field of highway and building engineering. The purpose of this book is to gather and present practical solutions to the problems which are arrived by Dr Nandanandan Das, through his thirty-five years & more long vast service experience and these were formulated by the contributors for the students to inculcate during their study of engineering to overcome such problems if faced during execution. The authors' objective is to prepare this book to introduce the subject of fine-tuning of engineering challenges of road and building projects to the students in a systematic manner. Besides being useful to the Civil Engineering students in general, the book will also be uselful to PG students studying highway engineering as subject, field engineers, consultants, and researchers.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Indian temples. 3. Orissan temples. 4. Temple building activities. 5. Khakhara temples. 6. Conclusion. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Orissa is known for its rich heritage of art and architecture. The temples of Orissa are closely entwined with Orissan culture. They cover a plethora of interest covering art, architecture, sculpture, religious faith and rituals. It is true that temples in some form must have originated as soon as the image worship came into vogue basing upon the idea that God has made man out of his own form. The temples of Orissa resolve themselves into three broad architectural orders: the rekha, pidha and khakhara. The present volume revolves round the unique features of the Khakhara temples which are designed for their semi-cylindrical roof. While rekha and pidha temples are dedicated to Saiva and Vaisnava deities, khakhara temple is exclusive for enshrining the Sakta divinities. The present study deals with the distinct nature of the khakhara temples showing the marked differences with the other monuments. This treatise not only sheds light on the khakhara temple architecture and sculpture but also deals with the cultural history, significance of Indian temples, general features of Orissan temples along with the temple building activities under the ruling dynasties of the land. This book will prove extremely useful for scholars and students of Indology, particularly those studying Orissan religious architecture in particular and that of India in general. (jacket).
