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.

How do you describe professional strength?
You can describe your strengths by talking about areas in which you excel. Your strengths and abilities are the areas in which you are able to beat other people in.
what will be hapened if soundness and fineness more or less percentage presence in cement.
What type of bridge is the peace bridge?
The Peace Bridge is an arch bridge consisting of five arched spans under the road and one hill over it at the end near Fort Erie, Ontario. The "hill" is a curve on the side of the roadway that has bars evenly on it. The bridge was originally made for one roadway and a trolley passage way.
OTHER FACTS:
connects Fort Erie, Ontario to Buffalo, New York
(DO NOT use information on the Bridge of Peace. It is different.)
crosses the Niagra River
Now is like a freeway of the Niagra River.(NEAR LAKE ONTARIO)

What are the concrete mix additives for fast curing?
You could add lime putty. But the best solution would be to get a cement that sets in the amount of time you need, a 'slow setting cement'.
What alloy is a penny covered in?
Current pennies (since 1982) are copper-plated zinc, so the answer is it's covered in copper. The penny is 2.5% copper, and 97.5% zinc. See the related links for a history of penny composition over the years.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of a cantilever bridge?
Advantages of cantilevers -Building out from each end enables construction to be done with little disruption to navigation below. The span can be greater than that of a simple beam, because a beam can be added to the cantilever arms. Cantilever bridges are very common over roads. Because the beam is resting simply on the arms, thermal expansion and ground movement are fairly simple to sustain. Cantilever arms are very rigid, because of their depth.
Disadvantages of cantilevers - Like beams, they maintain their shape by the opposition of large tensile and compressive forces, as well as shear, and are therefore relatively massive. Truss construction is used in the larger examples to reduce the weight.How much does a bag of cement cost in Africa?
In Ethiopia it costs around 15USD due to the soaring inflation(2nd to Zimbabwe) and the monopoly of the market by the government.
How do you estimate rcc roof slab?
In order to estimate rcc roof slab you must measure the roof and calculate its area. Then you must contact a professional to see how much slab will be needed.
What is the difference between ultimate tensile stress and ultimate shear stress?
Tensile Strength for a Bolt is determined by applying a Force along it long axis. Shear Strength for a Bolt is determined by applying a Force across its diameter, as it would be loaded in a lug joint. Tensile strength is strength in tension when pulling force is applied. And shear strength is strength against cutting force which is known as shear force.
Suppose a number of columns in a row are to be supported on a soil of such low bearing strength, that separate bases if provided would overlap,a practical solution would be to provide a column footing to support all the columns of the row. such a footing is called a "STRIP FOOTING"
Basic salary of civil engineer in qatar?
The basic salary of a civil engineer is around 29,000 dollars. The salary is not taxed in this country so it actually is more than it seems.
Is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge a suspension bridge?
The Oresund Bridge is a Cable-stayed bridge. The primary difference between a suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge is the load bearing structure.
In suspension bridges, this is the cable itself, which transfers the load into large structures set into the earth at the ends of the bridge.
In the cable stayed bridge design, the load is taken primarily by the bridge towers.
A more detailed explanation of the differences is available in the related link.
Whst is the difference between masonry cement and common cement?
Cement is just the powder used to make mortar and concrete. Mortar has sand in it.
What makes Truss bridge stable?
Truss bridges are made up of triangles which are quite stable since all loads are carried mostly in tension/compression and not bending. Long members may not be stablebecause of buckling in compression, butt most truss designs will account for that.
