How do you apply student visa for austria?

You would need to apply for a Student Visa through the Austrian Consulate. That would mean that you'll first need admission to an Austrian academic institution, provide some sort of proof of financial ability to pay for tuition, etc.

Presuming you are in the United States, the Consulate's link on the matter can be found here: http://www.austria.org/content/view/41/66/

What are the drawing materials and uses and care?

drawing materials r those through which we do drawing..........n we use it by ourself

What is the Cement mix for laying kerb stones?

Sand / cement ratio = 3 , that means: 1 part of cement to 3 parts of sand by volume , with sufficient water to get workable mixture.

What is Reinforced cement concrete-RCC?

Concrete is very strong in compression but weak in tension. RCC is concrete with reinforcing steel bars in it. Steel is a really good material in tension. Steel carries the tensile load and thus RCC is strong in tension too. However, designers still try to ensure concrete is in compression wherever possible.

What was the first bridge to be built in Melbourne?

I hope this answer encourages debate and proof of what I say, but the first bridge in Melbourne was not built over the Yarra as thought. It was a wooden structure built - over the creek that ran down to the Yarra where Elizabeth Street now stands. I studied the history of Melbourne many years ago but I am hard-pressed to prove the source of what I have just said. To give some credibilty to the possibility of what I say consider the topography of Melbourne, and the fact that Elizabeth Street has become Elizabeth River in several flash floods over the years, a major one in 1972.

Is rebar needed in concrete footings for posts?

If the posts are to support a structure such as a house or barn, yes. If the posts are to support a rail-fence, no. Check with your local municipality's code enforcement office for permit requirements. Then draw, draw, draw!

What civilization was the first greek civilization?

The first Greek speaking civilization that we have proof of is the Mycenean civilization that flurished from 16th century b.C. to 12th century b.C. The centre of this civilization was in Peloponnesus but encombassed most of southern Greece and even Crete and Cyprus islands

What do you understand by canal alignment?

An artificial open channel usually used to convey water or vessels from one point to another. Canals generally classified according to use as irrigation, power, flood-control, drainage, or navigation canals or channels

What is pushover analysis?

My husband told me that I am a pushover because I watched my neighbors kids for an hour, even though I know she talks smack behind my back. So there you go, I am the perfect example.

Is there a bridge to Copenhagen?

Yes, the 16 km long combined Oresund bridge&tunnel is connecting Swedens 3rd largest city, Malmö, to Denmark's Capital, Copenhagen.

Stress related situations in civil engineering?

There are various aspects of civil engineering which might be related to stress. For example, concern about making deadlines may be a stressful experience.

What st4 and pav2 concrete made of?

st4 is just a standard type concrete probably comparable to c40 structural concrete, pav 2 is the equivalent to c35 concrete with air bubbles, mostly used in paving works

What is the weight of copper per unit area?

This question is meaningless the way it's stated as weight is a function of volume and not area.

The mass of copper is 8930kg/m3

Without the third dimension, it's impossible to know how thinly the mass is spread over the total area.

How long did it take to build the tallest skyscraper in the middle east?

It took 5 years to build the Burj Kalifa. It surpasses any other building in the world by dozens of stories.

What a metal use to build bridges?

Bridges are almost invariably built from steel due to its high structural strength, flexibility and relatively low cost.

What is the instrument used to check the reinforcement bar in concrete member?

A cover meter determines the distance from the outside face of the concrete to the depth of the reinforcement bar.

Difference between top and bottom steel in beam?

When steel bars are placed on both sides of a concrete beam, one side resists tensile forces and the other side resists compressive forces. The presence of tension or compression on top or bottom depends on the type of structure.

What is the dynamic degree of freedom?

The number of independent manipulated variables; actuators as in pumps, valves etc.

Can aluminum can be used for concrete reinforcement?

Concrete and Steel have very similar strain values (0.0035 and 0.003). They also have very similar temperature coefficients (10e-6 and 12e-6). This means that concrete reinforced with steel will bend and deform uniformly under load and temperature changes.

Aluminum has a very different strain and temperature coefficient (0.016 and 22e-6).

This means that while, yes, aluminum can be used for concrete reinforcement, the behaviour of an aluminum-reinforced concrete beam is much more difficult to predict.

The strength of an aluminum-reinforced concrete beam would vary as the temperature changed and it would vary with the deflected shape.

I would not recommend using aluminum to reinforce concrete.
