A thin layer of sand was placed on top of the clay layer to allow for drainage inboth directions when consolidation was performed on the clay layer.In order for a clay-sand mixture to be consolidated in the liquefaction tank, it was necessary toreinforce the plexiglass tank to accommodate for the horizontal stress produced due to thevertical consolidation load. The reinforcement system is made of steel angles (see Figures 5(a)and (b)). The loading plate was aluminum reinforce with steel. The consolidometer was square,since consolidation had to be performed in which the same box tests were run. With a small loadapplied to the clay-sand mixture, there is little

The guidelines have been formulated usingexisting data on rainwater harvesting systems. Based on these guidelines, a mathematicalmodel has been developed to figure out cistern sizes for collection of rainwater. Theproducts of this research are a) computer program for calculating domestic waterrequirements and sizing storage cisterns and b) an animation of the proposed rainwaterharvesting system. These can be used as teaching tools to demonstrate the constructionmethods of such a system and the benefits of the technique.Key words: Bangladesh
