Why is drawing considered the language of engineering?
Any engineering object/task/product can be best demonstrated by drawing. Being general, not only engineering products, drawing helps understanding everything in science. However, drawing is used a lot in engineering specially, mechanical, cibvil, manufacturing, design etc branches. An engineer must be smart in drawing (understanding drawing & prepare drawing) to have sound reach in the material.
Drawing is one of the languages of engineering. The other is mathematics.

Although operating manuals are available on line, there is no substitute for one to one teaching with hands on experience. Should you require such a course just Google Phoenix Surveying Equipment uk.
Good luck.
How do you calculate wall thickness of pen-stock pipe?
A penstock, with an internal diameter of 1.3 m, supplies water at a head
equivalent to 127.6 kg/cm2. There is a possibility of 23per cent increase in
the pressure due to transient conditions. The design stress and the efficiency
of the joint may be assumed to be 1023 kg/cm2 and 35 per cent respectively.Calculate the approximate wall thickness of the penstock required
What structure on a bridge breaks or wards off floating ice?
According to a Glossary of Bride Terminology, there are several choices:
- An ice apron, aka ice breaker or starling, that is placed on the upstream end of a bridge pier to protect from moving ice.
- An ice-break or ice-breaker is a structure (masonry or timber) that protects the bridge pier from moving ice.
- An ice guard is a structure placed placed on the up-stream side of the bridge pier that diverts the ice or breaks large pieces into smaller ones.
- A starling is also called a cutwater. Those are structures that generally protect the structure from damage by water, ice and drift.
Examples of aggregates used in concrete works?
Examples of aggregates used in concrete works are,
- Gravel.
- river Sand.
- Quarry sand.
- Brick bats.
- Granular slag.
- poultry sand.

Bridges are classified by 3 criteria: material, structure, and construction method. Materials include steel, reinforced concrete, and stone. Bridge structures often seen range from cable suspension bridges to simple arch bridges. Bridges built with the cantilever effect are usually suspension bridges, and are supported only on one side until completion, whereas bridges built via the incremental launch method are built pieces at a time, with regular supports to the ground at each segment.
Why do IAS trainees have to be trained?
IAS is one of the services getting recruited through civil services examination(CSE) conduct by UPSC. Everybody who qualified finally at CSE get foundation training usually of 3 months at Lal Bahadur Shastry National Academy of Administration(LBSNAA),Mussoorie. After this training, trainess of all other cadres like IPS,IRS etc sent for their respective training institute like for IPS- SVP Police Academy, Hyderabad etc. But IAS trainees continue at LBSNAA till one year. In the next year of training which is actually on job training they go for their respective cadres(States or UT) and continue for one year. So in total IAS get training for 2 years, 1st year at LBSNAA and 2nd year on Job. As soon as they finish it they probabtion also get over.
