Difference between site and block plan?

The scale foremost. While site plans are normally 1:100 (or at the same size as the building plans), block plans are usually at 1:500 or larger. A site plan "usually shows a building footprint, travelways, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary sewer lines, water lines, trails, lighting, and landscaping." While the block plan puts more emphasis on the position of the site.


What is the definition for line weight?

How do you quare a cement slab?

Set your strings up at one corner. Use the corner as a start point. From that corner measure out 3 feet and make a mark on the line. Next, on the other line measure out 4 feet and make a mark. Hold the end of your tape measure at one of the marks. Now have some one move the far end of the other string in and out until you line up the mark at 5 feet from the other mark. When you have a diagonal line of 5 feet from mark to mark, your corner will be square. You can now just measure from the lines that are now square to set the other lines.

Is civil engineering the same as a degree in architecture?

NO! In short, architects make pretty drawings of buildings, whereas civil engineers do the dirty work of making the building work (ie. determining which materials are used; creating blueprints of where water, sewage, electrical, etc. lines run through a building; calculating stress/strain in joints throughout the building to ensure it will hold; take soil samples to determine how the ground must be treated before construction begins; and MUCH more!). This is only one aspect of civil engineering, other areas include: designing highways, water treatment, construction of dams, levees, etc., and the construction of bridges. So sum it all up: Architecture is all art. Civil Engineering is a cross between physics, geology, mathematics, and just a little bit of art. This is an addition to the previous...as an Architectural Engineer (and licensed PE), you need to give more credit to Architects. They are typically well versed in making a building "work". They'll usually know approximate dimensions for beam and column sizing, and other engineering minimal requirements...but no, they are not Engineers. Engineers are typically more math/science oriented.
