Why aren't cars made of stainless steel?
Cars are made from metal because it is hard, strong, and inexpensive.
Many early cars were made mostly of wood, but these cars broke apart in accidents and long sharp wood splinters killed people.
Much work has been done on making cars of a variety of different plastics, to varying degrees of success.
What is the relationship between architecture and civil engineering?
engineers make tractors for the farmers and the farmers make food for the engineers.
it takes a lot of ingenuity to be successful in either field.
both fields tend to be dominated by men.
Difference between an engineered fill and a non-engineered fill material?
Engineered fill is soil or crushed stone that is compacted and used as fill. Engineered fill has much to do with the placement and compaction of the material you are using and not just the material itself.
What is the factor of safety in design?
It's whatever the designers make them. It means that for an elevator for instance that the cables can take a much higher load than the elevator is rated for before the cables will snap. If the cables can take double the rated load then the elevator is said to have a safety factor of two.
How do you find ultimate bending moment of steel beams?
Assuming linear elastic bending with small deformations and planes perpendicular to the neutral axis remain plane after bending, then for a rectangular beam:
Moment = (Yield Stress)*(Second Moment of Area)/(Distance of surface to Neutral Axis)
For Ultimate Bending Moment, assume stress is uniform throughout the beam, and acting through half the distance from surface to neutral axis, then:
Moment = Stress * (Area/2)*(h/4 + h/4)
For a better visualization check out Popov's textbook, Engineering Mechanics of Solids, Chapter 6, Section 6.10
Where is the stepped strip foundation used?
A stepped strip foundation is often used on a sloping site where the steps allow the foundation to follow the slope without too much excavation, when compared with excavations and retaining walls. A floor structure that spans between perimeter strip foundations , whether over intermediate piles or not, also minimises excavation, when compared with a slab on grade or slab on fill floor.
A complex machine is a machine that is made up of two or more simple machines.
Examples:
Pencil sharpener,
Washing machine,
Wheelbarrow
How Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory applied in the construction industry?
In a service organization, the organization must first meet the physical needs of the people it is serving, such as by providing food, health care, and shelter. It can then provide for their higher needs, such as feeling empowered to seek their legal rights.
RFID tags use low, high, ultra-high and microwave frequencies. Each frequency has advantages and disadvantages that make them more suitable for some applications than for others. Countries will also have specific laws or regulations in place that prevent the use of certain frequencies.
Low-frequency: Operates from 30 KHz to 300 kHz, with typical operation being 125 kHz or 134 kHz. Advantages of LF are that they are going to be less subject to interference. Disadvantages of LF will be slow data transfer and the tags will must be read within three feet.
High-frequency: Operates from around 3 MHz to 30 MHz, and typically is used at 13.56 MHz. Advantages are that they have a slightly longer range than LF tags and have a faster data transmission. Disadvantages are that they will consume more power than LF tags.
Ultra-high-frequency: Operates from 300 MHz to 3 GHz and are usually found to operate in the 866 MHz to 960 MHz range. Advantages are that they will send information faster and farther than both LF and HF tags. Disadvantages are that their waves will not pass through items with high water content (including fruits and vegetables).
Microwave: Operate at 2.45 - 5.8 Ghz. Advantages are that they have very fast data transfer rates and can be read from much greater distances than LF, HF, and UHF tags. Disadvantages are high power consumption and high cost.
Note: Some persons refer to all tags operating above 415 MHz a Microwave tag
What is one and a half story house?
Its a house with two half of a stair case,it looks like a three story when its not.i should know i lived in one.
What is instruction format in computer architecture?
The connection between the hardware and software components of a computer creates the computer architecture. It is basically how the components are connected to form a complete system. Sir Frederick P. Brooks and Sir Lyle R. Johnson presented the idea of computer architecture in 1959.
A set of operating codes, operands, an opcode, and an addressing mode make an instruction. The instruction format is the standard instruction format that is directly used by the CPU.
The instruction format is just the sequence of bits (0,1). The group of these bits is called a field. Each field of the system provides specific information for a particular task to the CPU about the instruction's operation and the instruction's data. The most fundamental difficulty in format design is instruction length. The longer the command will, take longer the time to fetch it.
The types of Fields are discussed below:
-
Operation Field: It specifies the operations that are performed by the instructions like, ADD, SUB, etc. It can be any value or number on which the task has been performed. Operation field is mandatory for every instructor
-
Address Field: It specifies the address of the operand. It refers to the address where the operand is stored.
On the basis of multiple address fields, the instruction is categorised as follows:
-
Zero address instruction: The operand positions are implicitly represented in zero address instructions. The stack-organized computer system supports these commands.
-
One address instruction: This instruction manipulates data with the help of an implicit accumulator. Accumulator is a register that performs a logical process for the CPU. It uses one address field.
-
Two address instructions: This address instruction is mostly used. This address command format has three operand fields. In the two address sections, registers or memory addresses can be used.
-
Three address instructions: A three-address command must contain three operand components in its format. These three fields could be registers or memory locations.
The instruction pipeline in computer architecture
The instruction pipeline in computer architecture shows the system's instruction flow. It has 4 major segments, which are discussed below.
Segment 1: The instruction fetch part can be performed using first in, first out (FIFO) buffers.
Segment 2: The second section decodes the memory-fetched command before the effective location is computed in a different arithmetic circuit.
Segment 3: The input is fetched from memory.
Segment 4: The execution of the instructions is performed.
Some of the features of instruction are :
-
Addressing model: This is the first part of the instruction format. Data over the instruction format can be represented as an addressing format, and data is stored in the computer's memory or in the CPU's register
-
OPCODE(operation code): This is the second part of the instruction format, and the opcode instructs the processor to perform the desired operation.
-
Operand: Depending upon the processor instruction format, it contains zero to three operands, and this part specifies the data or points to the address of the data.

Years during which Brunelleschi worked on the Duomo?
It took 16 years to build the Brunelleschi Dome in Florence. He had two domes built, one inside the other to accomplish this feat.
You presumably mean the Florence Cathedral. The building itself was finished in 1446 with the completion of the dome. The facade was completed in 1887.

An ancillary building is any building that is used for storage or machinery near a main structure. An ancillary building is a support structure of some kind.
