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.

What is Nominal diameter and Outside Diameter?
nominal diameter is the original diameter of an object
Microorganisms affect the quality of soil by?
They decompose dead plants and animals and nutrients to plants and the soil
Why do you use steel to make bridges?
Lets' look at this from a simplistic point of view.
The predominant factors when dealing with a bridge is strength and weight. The strength of the bridge is how much load it can handle. The weight is how much the bridge weighs before loads (such as cars) are applied. The weight of the construction material must be included when considering the total strength of the bridge. For instance, if a bridges strength is 110 pounds, and the weight of material is 100 pounds, then you can only put 10 pounds on the bridge before failure.
Bridges can be made from any material. Wood is commonly used on hiking trails, Composite (Plastics) have been used on some small bridges. However, the two most popular are Steel, and reinforced concrete (Reinforced Concrete has steel rods inside the concrete to increase the strength).
The reason for this is because of the incredible strength of the steel or concrete per pound of material. This allows for a very strong structure that does not generate a lot of weight. This means that the load carrying capacity of the bridge is maximized.
Furthermore, the structural design of a bridge allows for load shifting. This explains the grid pattern above, or below, some bridges, the big arch under some concrete bridges, or the characteristic look of suspension bridges.
Where is sowerby bridge high school?
Sowerby Bridge High School (Formerly Sowerby Bridge Grammar School), is in the town of Sowerby Bridge, near Halifax in Yorkshire, England.
It's recently been rebuilt, the Edwardian stone built characterful building was demolished.
I went there, saw it deteriorate from a well regarded grammar school, to what is to be blunt, now a bit of a sink comprehensive, shunned by the local community, the aspirational of which favour Ryburn Valley High School nearby
Sowerby Bridge HS is marginally behind Ryburn in terms of results. Last year's results were better than any the Grammar school achieved!! The term sink does not apply to SBHS although the school does have around forty percent of its intake with English as a second language. Is this what the previous writer really means. A grip on reality instead of anecdotal gossip would show the writer that many 'aspirational' parents are happy to send their children to SBHS. Trying to turn years of 'tradition' and prejudice around is quite difficult especially when they are perpetuated by ignorance.

Where dam and barrage should be constructed?
You don't give any information about the country, state, or even continent. It sounds more like a Civil Engineering question in any case
How do you improve the result of the experiment shear force?
u could improve it by not forgetting to repeat it.
Where are the Spanish steps located?
Scalinata della Trinita dei Monti is a staircase between the Piazza di Spagna in the base and the Piazza di Trinita dei Monti in the top where the church of the Trinita dei Monti is located and can be foumd in Roma Italy. The staircase was constructed between 1723-25. It is the wider staircase of all Europe and has 138 steps.
Advantages and disadvantages of logarithm?
Maps and navigational tools needed a huge number of calculations, including multiplications (or divisions) of numbers with several digits. In pre-computer days it was not easy to get people who could do this with a high degree of accuracy.
Logarithms changed multiplication into addition and division into subtraction. These were operations that less skilled clerks were able to perform.
This advantage has largely disappeared with the easy availability of calculators.
The exponential function is one of the more important functions in advanced mathematics, physics and economics. The logarithm function is the inverse of the exponential function and so has very many applications.

How do you compute head loss in a channel bend?
A bend coefficient may be used for 1-D gradually varied flow and multiplied by the upstream cross-section averaged velocity head term, such that
Headloss = C *a* u12/(2g)
Where C is the bend coefficient which usually ranges between 0.05 - 0.6. The bend coefficient decreases as the radius of curvature decreases.
a is the correction factor as a result of using cross-sectioned averaged velocity. This may be assumed as 1 if unknown, but is often times greater than 1 up to 1.4
u1 is the cross section averaged 1-D velocity for the upstream segment
g is gravity
the magnetic field of a magnet is measured through Gaussmeters.
How do you draw 2 dimensional yield surface in deviatoric plane or pi plane?
Strictly speaking, in 2D it is a yield line, not a surface (you would have to do a £D plot for that).
In order to construct a deviatoric yield surface plot you require the triaxial data for a sample for at least three differing confining pressures.
You will then essentially be creating a series of mohr circle plots (shear stress vs Sigma1 - Sigma3) of the deviatoric stress circles at the failure stress of the samples.
A straight line is then drawn that touches the upper bounds of the three circles without passing through them.
This line is the 2D deviatoric yield plot.
There is free software available that will do this for you.

Electric hammers work much like regular hammers, except they hammer much faster. They can be powered by batteries or by electricity.
The water gathered and enclosed by dam or the process and state of that.
"Grandfathered in" typically is referenced to the term "grandfather clause" which allows an exception to a new rule. "Grandfathered in" means to grant such an exception. For example, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban made it illegal to sell and own a semi automatic weapon that was manufactured after the date the law went into effect. Weapons that were manufactured before this date were "grandfathered in" and were allowed to be sold and legal to own. The exception to the rule are weapons manufactured before a certain date.
How many credit hours to complete an associate's degree?
Typically, the associates degree can run between 60 and 64 credits depending on the program of study, and state mandates. However there are some associates that can run into the 70 plus credit range. These higher credit associates degrees usually fall in the allied health area.
