Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is a profession of designing and executing structural works that serve the general public, like houses, buildings, roads, etc. A Civil Engineer is an engineer trained in the design and construction of public works, such as bridges or dams, and other large facilities.

Can you get an online degree in coastal engineering?
Coastal engineering is amongst the few very recent degree programs which have been into play and making their own space in the professional field. with the improving technologies and technological requirements, the need for the professionals also grows. The trend for the degree pursuades many to join the degree program and get through it. sometimes there are various students who, having the potential to perform best in the degree, cannot get the chance to get admission in campus schools for certain reasons primarily being the fee. For such potential students, there are now the online schools providing online degrees. there are various schools offering online degree in coastal engineering which can be searched through various online resources. going through numerous sites it would help in selecting appropriate online schools providing quality online education and best online degree programs related to engineering and specially coastal engineering.
What do engineers construct to test a new design?
A prototype or model. This may be "real" or "numerical".
A real model or prototype is a version of the design built from the same materials as the final object but often at a much smaller scale. This can be used to undertake tests in a laboratory on variables or parameters that are too complicated to treat (test) mathematically.
With the rapid advancement in the processing power and memory capacity of computers over the last 30 years, increasing use is now made of numerical modelling software.
In this process, a numerical model or prototype is created within a piece of computer software that would allow you to test the behaviour of the design under differing conditions and to make changes very quickly to a design to see what effect they may have.
For example a bridge design may be input into numerical modelling software which would allow you to "create" variable wind strengths that act on the bridge. You would also input realistic strength and stiffness properties for the material and also realistic "oscillation" properties and the software would calculate the response of the bridge to the varying conditions. This may demonstrate that the bridge is "safe" or that refinements are needed to the design which can be made rapidly in the numerical model and retested without the requirement for a new real prototype to be constructed.
The field test of cement are
1.Insert the hand in cement bag,one should feel cool.
2.Rub the cement between fingers,one should feel silky
3.Through handfull of cement in a bucket of water it should float before it sinks.
What is Siporex light weight materials?
Siporex is a lightweight, autoclaved, aerated concrete which is a completely cured, inert and stable form of calcium silicate hydrate. It is a structural material, approximately one quarter the weight of conventional concrete, composed of minute calls which give the material light weight and high thermal insulation properties.
Did Sir John Watson Gordon paint a potrait of Thomas Grainger Civil engineer of Edinburgh?
Yes Sir John Watson Gordon did paint a portrait of Thomas Grainger - Thomas left it to his wife Jesse in his will.
You could pull on a rope and use a pulley to do this, or you could wind the bucket up and down using a spindle with a leaver handle.
What is maximum cantilever possible in r.c.c. beam?
ITS 5.5m TO 6m AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE AS POSSIBLE WILL BE SAFE & BETTER STABLE WHEN PROPER BACK ANCHOR IS GIVEN
What is the difference between TMT Steel bar and deformed steel bars?
Tor steel is completely type of steel for which steel composition is decided. Unttill TMT is a coating only on upper surface to prevent corrosion. So we can say it is basic differance as we know.
It removes air pockets naturally created in a poor which keeps out moister and improves the strength.
What is the main physical meaning of section modulus?
section modulus is a measure of the strength of a beam. The more the section modulus the more is the strength.
In steel reinforcement bar what does the prefix T signify?
The prefix 'T' signifies a ribbed bar profile. This is as opposed to a bar with an 'H' prefix which has a smooth profile.
Difference between T-beam and rectangular beam?
Dasign of T- beam is some what similar to rectangular beam, in design slab thickness is determined first. the slab is acts as compression flange in designing the beam. the flange acts as compression zone, which is balance by steel embeded in the bottom web of the beam.
slab thickness= t, in.
effective depth= d, in.
width of web= b', in.
flange width= b, in.
width of flange should be least of the three alternatives,
1. span/4.
2. b' + 16t.
3. centre to centre spacing of beams.
Shear test for SI joint dysfunction?
Patient = prone
Examiner = places the palm of their hand over the posterior iliac wing
Test = inferiorly directed thrust produces a shearing force across the SIJ.
The better way provides an efficient supply of gatch, which is a limestone material generally used as a road base. This building component is mainly found to be naturally occurring in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, with high evaporation rates.
Does concrete still gain strength after 28 days?
yes,up to one year. However the rate again of strength is very slow.
In civil engineering, the invert level is the base inside level of a pipe, trench or tunnel the carries liquid, considered the "floor" level. It is used to determine the hydraulic gradient.
What is the highest qualification in civil engineering?
The highest academic qualifications in civil engineering are the PhD or EngD (Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Engineering in Civil Engineering respectively).
The highest professional qualification depends on the country. In the UK this is Chartered Engineer status and the individual will also be either a Member or Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (MICE / FICE), or Institution of Structural Engineers (MIStrucE / FIStrucE). In the US, a professional engineer will be granted Professional Engineer status (and is entitled to use the post-nominal letters PE).
Do the pipline losses reduce after the pipeline are in use for 1 year or so?
No. The pressure drop remains the same. The only thing that could led to a smaller pressure drop after 1 (or more) year, is the internal surface friction coefficient. But this coefficient does not change in a measurable way. Perhaps small particles are re-arranged inside the pipe, but the coefficient remains the same. So does pressure drop.
When the combined footing is generally used?
1) space outside the external column is limited by property line, pipes, ... etc.
2) Two columns are closed together and separate footing would over lab.
