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 are the applications of calculus?
Many, many applications. Calc is the basis of all higher math, for one. It's used intensively by scientists, engineers, economists, and computer programmers to name a few. Calculus attempts to model the natural world, so any profession that attempts to model natural phenomena can and should use calculus.
When did the Tasman Bridge get built?
The Tasman Bridge was first opened in 1964. It collapsed when the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra struck it early in 1975. The new bridge was not finished until 1977.
What is the strongest bridge Arch Beam Suspension Truss or Trestle?
well, for my opinion, i think a suspension bridge
why: because for of all the cables support the roadway and the two towers looking things at the bottom also supports while for the truss bridge it is only trusses. and if you building a bridge then it depends on what and how you use to build it. good luck!
What is the tensile strength of A36?
54,000 psi is its ultimate breaking tensile strength.
Yield point is 36,000 psi
What state is the highest suspension bridge in?
London England has the highest suspension bridge in the world
How do i find actual invert elevation on a sewer pipe?
To find the actual invert elevation of a sewer pipe, you can use a level or surveying equipment to measure the height of the pipe from a known reference point, such as a manhole rim or ground surface elevation. The invert elevation is calculated by subtracting the measurement from the reference point's elevation. Additionally, you may refer to construction plans or as-built drawings that typically document the invert elevations. If necessary, verify the measurements with multiple points along the pipe.
What is the difference between stress and depression?
In one sentence, stress is one of the main causes of depression. Being under stress causes many negative psychological reactions which lead to the depressive condition. The difference between a person who is not depressed and one who is depressed is that the person without depression are able to bounce back from the effects of the stressful situations once they have stopped. On the contrary, the depressed individual will continue to wallow in the negative emotions even once the stressors are no longer there. With stress as a contributing cause, it would be a stressor that was present over a prolonged period of time that would cause the depression.
A bridge has three things to complete the foundation to keep it from collapsing. They are called spread footings, caissons and piles. It also has the deck itself.
+++
All these components are also very carefully designed to withstand the various stresses that they will bear in service.
What equipment do civil engineers use?
{| |- | Civil Engineers in today's world use computers and calculators. They validate plans and lay out the blueprints for the buildings and roads and other things being built. They rely heavily on surveys and soil samples in creation of their plans. Transits, laser range finders are also common tools. |}
Why do telephone wires become loose and sag in winter?
They shouldn't, usually it is the other way around. As with all wire, the temperature effects wire lengths. When wires become warm as in a hot summer day the wires expand and droop and likewise when they become cold as in winter they contract and tighten up. The wires have to be installed to take this condition into consideration. There is a specific engineered sag allowed for each type of conductor from pole fix point to pole fix point.
The stem or the spine is the central structural beam of a ship.
Is it possible to predict tensile strength from a known UCS of rock?
A first estimate of tensile strength from UCS is commonly made using the following:
Tensile Strength = UCS / 10
However this is derived by plotting a line of best fit through a wide range of empirical laboratory data for values of measured UCS versus measured tensile strength values for differing rock types. This data shows a very wide spread and as such the relation above should be used with caution and is only applicable to intact rock, not rock masses.
The estimation of rock strength properties is a complex subject requiring significant application of engineering judgement. Reference should also be made to a text such as the following:

Weight of 16 mm tor steel per meter length?
Unit Weights of TOR steel bars
8mm dia : 0.395 kg/m
10mm dia : 0.617 kg/m
12mm dia : 0.888 kg/m
16mm dia : 1.579 kg/m
20mm dia : 2.467 kg/m
25mm dia : 3.855 kg/m
These are standard unit weights in India based on the density of steel @ 7850 kg/m3
What is the weight of steel bar of 22MM?
2.9876 kg/m is the weight of steel bar of 22 mm dia..and you use formula for other bars as d*d/162
Where d is a diameter of bar in mm.
How was the Sears Tower built?
It was built to house the main offices of Sears, Roebuck, and Co. Sears has not had offices in the building since 1992, it was purchased by a group of real estate investors in 2004 and Willis Insurance Group has recently become the largest tenant. The building was officially renamed Willis Tower on July 16, 2009.
What is the Concrete hollow block size in the Philippines?
The hollow block sizes in the Philippines are the following:
- 40cm (length) X 20 cm (width) X 4 in (thickness)
- 40cm (length) X 20 cm (width) X 5 in (thickness)
- 40cm (length) X 20 cm (width) X 6 in (thickness)
Why do we prefer concrete dam in V shaped area?
floods less land, uses less materials (concrete, steel...) to construct dam
What are the types of non load bearing walls?
Non load bearing walls are walls that the weight of the roof is not supported on. Any wall that runs parallel will roof joists will be non load bearing.
What tor stand for in tor steel?
TOR is a Brand Name originally marketed by TORISTEG STEEL CORPORATION of Luxembourg, Germany.
How much does a yard of asphalt paving material weigh?
For what thickness and width? Typical finished and compacted asphalt concrete weighs 140 to 150 lbs per cubic foot. The density depends on how compact it is and what type, size, and percentage of aggregates are used.
So a one yard by one yard cut of a typical local road (4" thickness) should weigh close to 450lbs
