When applying the existing acceptable international systems for tunnel preliminary supports in high-stress environments, the tunneling quality index (Q) and the rock mass index (RMi) systems that are preferred over geomechanical classification due to the stress characterization parameters that are incorporated into the two systems. However, these two systems are not appropriate when applied in a location where the rock is jointed and experiencing high stresses. This paper empirically extends the application of the two systems to tunnel support design in excavations in such locations.

  • Management Plan for Chitral Gol National Park
    MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR CHITRAL GOL NATIONAL PARK 1. Introduction Under the Indian Forest Act, 1927, protection of wildlife remained a subsidiary to forest management as the duty of the forest officer. Till the 1960’s, no scientific management of wildlife or its habitat was undertaken in Pakistan. With the dawning realization of fast dwindling wildlife and the need for scientific management, the Government of Pakistan established two National Parks, in 1972 and 1974, at Lal Suhanra in Punjab and Khirthar in Sindh, respectively. They were followed by promulgation of the Wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Act in those two provinces, followed by such legislation on the rest of the federating units of the Country. Section 16 of the NWFP Wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Act 1975 provides for the establishment of National Parks. Chitral Gol National Park (CGNP) was declared under the Act i id on October 18, 1984. Unlike the forest management planning undertaken by the provincial forest departments, Wildlife/ Protected Areas (PAs) management planning is yet to be institutionalized and standardized by the provincial wildlife departments in Pakistan. It is worth a mention here that, under the approved Forest Working Plan Code, forest working plans all over the country follow standards for preparation, data collection, especially the Table of Contents, etc., whereas there is no such established code for formulating Management Plans for Protected Areas in the country. The preparation of Management Plans for Protected Areas in Pakistan is a recent development. The first Management Plan was prepared for Khirthar National Park in the late 1970s by Mark Halloway and Khan Muhammad and then for 5 National Parks including Chitral Gol by Rana Masood.

  • Nationalism and the Bomb 135
    CHAPTER 6 NATIONALISM AND THE B OMB Pervez Hoodbhoy Nation-building is the process of creating, or reinforcing a national identity using the power of the state. The goal is to unify the disparate peoples within an emerging state, reduce internal conflict, and create the conditions for effective governance. Nation-building can involve the use of propaganda, myth building, and the creation of national paraphernalia such as sports teams, national holidays, anthems, flag carrying airlines, and, of course, the display of military might. In much the same way, a few states see nuclear weapons as an instrument for building or consolidating a national spirit. One can readily understand why this is so because the bomb can level mountains, cause seas to boil when exploded underwater, or snuff out a living city in a flash. Post-Hiroshima, the bomb became the symbol of ultimate power. Even countries allied to the U.S. felt at a disadvantage and rushed to make their own. Ernie Bevin, the foreign secretary in UK’s Prime Minister Clement Attlee’s post-war government, found the condescending attitude of the nuclear-armed Americans insufferable. In 1946 he remarked: I don’t want any other foreign secretary of this country to be talked to or at by a secretary of state in the United States as I have just had in my discussions with Mr Byrnes. We’ve got to have this thing [a nuclear bomb] over here whatever it costs. We’ve got to have the bloody Union Jack on top of it. 1 Six years later cash-strapped Britain, though devastated by six years of total war, became the world’s third nuclear power.

  • Executive Summary Arkari Gol Hydropower Project the Optimized
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ARKARI GOL HPP Executive Summary Arkari Gol Hydropower Project The optimized maximum power station output is 99 MW corresponding to a maximum design discharge of 36 m3/sec at a mean gross head of 335 meters achieved from a horizontal conduit length of 5600 meters. The optimized project will produce 378 GWh/year out of which 139 GWh will be available during 4 hours of daily peaking period. The firm capacity available during these four hours for the duration of the whole year is 79 MW. The total project cost is 179 Million USD or 1800 USD / kW installed. The total construction time is 48 months. The site, after completion of Lowari tunnel will be accessible around the year on existing road system. Before completion of this tunnel access on surface will be only from middle of May until end November. Introduction The project is located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province of Pakistan on Arkari River in Chitral District. The Arkari River is a left tributary of Lutkho River. The project area is accessible by road and is at a distance of 460 km from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, and 370 km from Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Comprehensive inventory studies for identification of hydropower potential in the mountainous areas of KP have been carried out by the Government of KP, represented by Pakhtunkhwa Hydel Development Organization (PHYDO) for the Chitral Valley supported by Ministry of Water and Power, Government of Pakistan, both in collaboration with the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ). Project site for the Arkari Gol Hydropower Project constitutes part of the inventory of hydropower projects identified during the identification studies.

  • Chapter 5. EXISTING KOHAT TUNNEL and ACCESS ROADS
    PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of Pakistan, the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Pakistan Transport Plan Study in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The study consists of two phases and the Phase I study was completed in March 2006. This final report presents the study result of the Phase II study conducted from April 2006 to September 2006. JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Minoru Shibuya of Nippon Koei Co., Ltd. and consisted of Nippon Koei Co., Ltd. and Almec Corporation. The team conducted field surveys and analysis in the study area and held a number of discussions with and made presentations to the officials concerned of the Government of Pakistan. I hope that this report will contribute to the development of Pakistan and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between the two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Pakistan for their close cooperation and friendship extended to the study.
