Where is the world's most skewed arch bridge?
Skew arch bridges of up to 45 degrees are not uncommon and many even exceed that figure. There's a helicoidal skew arch in the U.K. that was built of stone in 1830 to carry the Haggerleazes branch of the Stockton & Darlington Railway over the River Gaunless, which has a skew angle of 63 degrees. In other words, instead of crossing the river at the normal 90 degrees, the railway and river cross at 27 degrees. (90 - 27 = 63)
There's a skew arch bridge built to a different principle (it's called a ribbed skew arch) in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK that carries the Midland Main Line across Southdown Road at an angle of only 25 degrees, giving the bridge a skew angle of 65 degrees. That's the most skewed arch bridge I know of but there may well be others and if so I'd like to know.

Which part of the aqueduct system would have been difficult to maintain?
i think it was the pipes because hey would somehow have to clean them and that seems like a lot of hard work and a lot of money. Hope this helps!

Where does Civil engineering fit into the economy?
The house you are staying, the road on which you travel, are all just minor parts of civil engineering; you can now imagine its importance in economy. It is the driver of economy.

Can fly ash be used in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete?
There are experimental results showing that the flyash can be used up to 30 % as a cement replacement material. Some up to 80 %
flyash has certain properties and it can be used some percent to the concrete mix as a admixture..
Proper trial mix and test shall be carried out for required strength and durability..
I hate to be the bearer of bad news; however, it would be advisable to ask an engineer or the building official. The codes are or should be IBC for commercial or IRC for residential. Both have conventional standards that may be used. It is possible that the local or state building codes may have amendments in your area. My first call would be to the building official as he is already on your payroll if you are paying taxes, and who's not. This is the cheapest option, and they can at least verify which code you are using.
Why you use sheet pile foundation?
Steel sheet piling is widely used as quick and economical method of installing cofferdams and l retaining walls, both temporary and permanent. Piles are selected according to their length and section modulus for the job required.
Sheet piles can be installed using traditional methods utilising a telescopic leader rig and resonance free variable moment vibratory hammer. This is the quickest and most efficient method in most granular and cohesive soils. Silent vibrationless piling techniques utilise pressing methods. Eco Foundations have available leader rig mounted presses which are economical for installing shorter piles, typically up to 10 m and Giken type pile presses for longer, heavier sheet pile sections and tubular piles.
If piles are temporary then they may be extracted at the end of the contract and bought back. Alternatively if the duration is short the piles may be rented for the duration of the project.
Sheet Piling is often used for permanent flood defence retaining walls in flood alleviation schemes.
Eco Foundations are able to offer a full design and installation service to include propping and anchor systems as required.
If an item can withstand 300000 PSI of pressure what is its Tensile Strength?
Your question is vague. Any way if it can withstand 300000 PSI the tensile strength is higher than that. It depends on the material since Tensile strength is known as ultimate tensile strength at which level the item fails.

What type of bridge is the sunshine skyway bridge?
Cable stay.
Yes, this is a cable stayed bridge. I actually sold the expansion joints (Waboflex SR4) for this bridge! It is a very impressive bridge.
Can you give one example of variation order in building construction?
Say you ask me to replace your old door with a new one at an agreed price. I then later discover that your frame is rotten, so before i put in the door, i have to replace the frame and the cost for that is an extra because it wasn't part of the initial agreement. So we call it a variation order. If you say you will pay for it, then i will do it, but if you say you won't pay for it, i will just put your new door on the old frame as initially agreed.
