Strange questions which I never faced
by Manohar Rao on Jun 14, 2015 06:58 AM

A round lid will not fall in the hole, in any way you put it.
The plant here may mean manufacturing plant.
I will select the upper berth as it will not be a disturbance to me as well as other passengers.
I will offer menu for living only because the dead will not eat anything as they have no body and hence nobody.

why man holes are round
by mario on Jun 11, 2015 06:16 PM

A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole. Circular covers don't need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled.

Manholes
by Devdutt Sen on Dec 04, 2014 04:36 PM

Round Manholes are preferred because any othet shape of the man hole will let the cover fall into it on a particular orientation

Design of Manholes
by prasad N on Nov 29, 2014 04:49 PM

None of the people -67 messages posted thought about design factor.

Manhole must be elliptical shaped with 800mm by 600mm for lifting a person in stretcher.

Round manholes are old designs and being scrapped all over the world.
