What is Plain table surveying?
it is a type of surveying in which we can plot the area in the field rapidly.we can also find our error in the field and solve it.
Who built the first canal did they succeed?
The oldest known canals were built in Mesopotamia about 6,000 years ago. They were irrigation canals and the foodstuffs produced as a result underpinned the rise of civilisation.
The first ship canals were in Egypt, built nearly 4,500 years ago to bypass the Nile River cataracts to enable trade.

boody
What are the parts of a window?
The parts of a window include the glass window pane and the window frame. The window also contains a locking mechanism.

What type of rock are cliffs from the central coast made from?
The central coast of which country or state?
Interior designing after civil engineering is it good?
i think so! civil engineering is not only railroads and skyscrapers. its also planning and designing which is what you've been studying for how long? im sure your clients will be pleased and in some/ most cases you redo that intire room. Add shelving, fire places, and a lot of other structural stuff. perfect for a civil engineer.
What are the Disadvantages of Brickbat Coba?
1. Brickbat coba will have lot of surface cracks and hence it is not a waterproofing system. 2. The quality of bricks used in BBC is usually of not a good quality hence over a period of time they absorb water and become loose and give way to more leakages. 3. Brick bat coba should not be confused for waterproofing. It is a good wheather proof layer.
In what circumstances will mass concrete be recommeded in preference to reinforced concrete?
Mass concrete foundations are economical where the side of the excavation can be used as a shutter and where suitable depth of mass can be accommodated to disperse the load without the need for reinforcement.
How coarse aggregate shape affect workability?
Aggregates with angular particles are more difficulties to compact than one with rounded particles and therefor,requires more water in the mix to act as alubricant.this additional water, on evaporation ,tends to leave void spaces in the hardened concrete made with rounded aggregates particles which requires less water for compaction.the nature of the particles of an aggregates will also affect workability.(
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
How deep should a foundation be in Toronto?
This is impossible to answer without at least some site / ground investigation data to allow a preliminary geotechnical design to be undertaken.
What is the tallest structure?

What is DP in welding process?
DP is not actually to do with welding it is a form of NDT which stands for non destructive testing; DP is dye-pen where a white liquid formation is placed over the weld & a normally red enhancer is then placed over the top; this then identifies surface cracks.
Will cement harden in the cement truck if it is not rotating?
Actually, the rotation is mainly to keep the concrete well mixed and homogeneous during transport, thereby insuring the sand, gravel, water, and cement is well mixed. The concrete itself will set up or harden at approximately the same rate of time, regardless, whether it is rotating or not. Typical concrete mixes show noticeable hardening/stiffening after approx 2 hours, depending on temperature and other factors.
**Note: The correct term is concrete. Cement is actually the dry gray powder, that when hydrated with water, bonds the rock and sand together to make concrete.
How would you describe a metal that has a yield strength and tensile strength that are the same?
Brittle
