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.

The upstand beam is very important as it provides support to the given structure. The upstand beam should remain fixed until the construction is over.
How is cement stored on a construction site?
Dry cement in bags is stored in a dry place protected from the weather. For large construction sites this is usually a secure storage area.
If you are talking about mixed cement (wet) or concrete, then it is not stored on a construction site. It is mixed off-site and carried to the site in large "cement mixer" trucks. The it is placed (or poured) prior to the initial setting time specified by the concrete manufacturer.
What is difference between pulkit tmt and tanisp tmt steel bars?
tanisp is far beter than pullkit,, pulkit is just an ordinary steel ,,
What is myone technology in construction?
Myone technology means...In this technology Mould of entire block or building (according to requirement or as per the drawings, Structural elements casted with the help of their interconnected moulds) is made and then using it, whole building is constructed.
Where as in general method of construction, Structural elements or building is constructed separately..Individual Column, Footings, Slab likewise.
Why might Frontinus' and Juvenal's evidence on aqueducts be unreliable?
The evidence might be unreliable because technology and other knowledge has advanced since that time, and their evidence might have been biased.
How can you strengthen a load bearing horizontal beam that is supported only at the ends?
you have to change the beam to another one that could be hollow and most likely change it to a triangle beam because it is the strongest shape
What are VSI aggregates in concrete making?
The aggregate which are produced from vertical shaft impactor ( the machine which is installed in crusher plant to control the elongated and flaky aggregate ) for concrete.
What is Cable-stayed bridge function?
The cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge that is optimal for spans longer than is practical for cantilever bridges, and shorter than is economical for suspension bridges.
Choosing a material that will show warning before it fails.
What are the types of strength?
Alpha
Beta
Gamma This is not the answer, the answer is Explosive Strength, Maximal Strength and Endurance Strength/Strength Endurance either way is correct.
What are the unit weights of 22mm reinforcing steel bars?
22mm diameter deformed bars unit weight kilogram per meter
Why are the girders made of i shape?
It allows the girders to be lighter. If you took a solid piece of steel in a square shape and exposed it to stressed, you would discover that the stress in the metal is on the top face and the bottom face. The middle sections do not add to the structural strength of the beam, they simply add weight.
What is the Weight of Mild Steel Angles different sections?
what is the weight od 25x25x3 mm mild steel angle per meter
What are advantages of slump test?
The slump test is the most widely used device worldwide. In fact, the test is so well known that often the terms workability and slump are used interchangeably, even though they have different meanings.
• Specifications are typically written in terms of slump.
• The slump test is simple, rugged, and inexpensive to perform. Results are obtained immediately.
• The results of the slump test can be converted to yield stress in fundamental units based on various analytical treatments and experimental studies of the slump test.
• Compared to other commonly used concrete tests, such as for air content and
compressive strength, the slump test provides acceptable precision.
When a load acts on any member perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, it is termed as transverse loading.
What is target strength of concrete?
Target strength is the design strength which is determined by whom ever designed mixture of aggregates and the water/cement ratio.
In Short. Yes.
Broadly speaking, any ferrous material (containing iron-Fe) will oxidise to create an iron oxide layer (rust)
In the construction industry this is normally protected against by utilising paint systems and in marine applications by utilising cathodic protection.
Alloys such as stainless steel (which does contain Iron) can reduce corrosion to very low levels. In the case of stainless steel, the alloying metals (such as chromium) react with oxygen and water to produced a thin protective oxide film which may be only a few atoms thick and will give the material a seemingly non corroded appearance.
