What does the parallel axis theorem states?
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. In SI units, it is measured in radians per second squared (Rad/s2), and is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha (α).[1]
What is tacheometric surveying?
the special type of theodolite used to measure horizontal and vertical distance and horizontal angle.
Beam is a member which transfers the load of slab and walls to column.
Wall is use for partition in between rooms,kitchen,bath to maintain privacy
Did any of the Egyptian pyramids ever fall down?
Yes, many did. The great pyramid and others that have survived, did so for a reason. Their shape made them more sturdy over time and were not the first design. Many steppe pyramids were built but were too steep and as the corners eroded, the whole pyramid fell under its own wieght. They were built too steep and did not have the base structure as seen in the great pyramid.
Who is the designer of Manila Hotel?
When the United States took over the Philippine Islands from the Spanish in 1898 after the Spanish-American War,[8] President William McKinley began Americanizing the former Spanish colony. In 1900 he appointed Judge William Howard Taft to head the Philippine Commission to evaluate the needs of the new territory. Taft, who later became the Philippines' first civilian Governor-General,[9] decided that Manila, the capital, should be a planned town. He hired as his architect and city planner Daniel Hudson Burnham, who had built Union Station and the post office in Washington. In Manila, Mr. Burnham had in mind a long wide, tree-lined boulevard along the bay, beginning at a park area dominated by a magnificent hotel. To design the hotel Taft hired William E. Parsons, a New York architect, who envisioned an impressive, but comfortable hotel, along the lines of a California mission, but grander.[5] The original design was an H-shaped plan that focused on well-ventilated rooms on two wings, providing grand vistas of the harbor, the Luneta, and Intramuros. The top floor was, in fact, a large viewing deck that was used for various functions, including watching the American navy steam into the harbor.[10]

What does it mean if you measure concrete strength to be 50 MPa?
The units of Mpa is N/mm2 so this means that the concrete can resist a compresion forse of 50 newtons spread over 1 mm2
*Note if this value is a measured value a safety factor needs to be applied if it is to be used in construction, this factor are specified in you country's design code
Names of civil engineering association in India?

What is the meaning of T16 steel?
I believe T16 refers to the quality of the steel (recipe) used to make it. The higher the number the better type/quality of steel.
I have heard T16 is used today (2009) and T3 was used to make the Bay Bridge in California in the 1930's.
----
Actually T16 is the metric size reference of the bar. A T16 bar is the basic equivalent of a #5 bar, there is no such bar as a T3.
Is there a table for steel Beams size Span point load in tons at centre of Beam?
Yes there is. Good luck trying to obtain one. It is a pretty closely guarded chart. Apparently engineers feel they need to give that information out. At $120 per hour. You might be able to get one in dealing with a motorized chain lift company. That is how I got mine.
