Softwood has a huge range of applications: it is the primary material used for building components, and is also found in furniture and other products such as millwork (mouldings, doors, windows). Softwood is also used in the production of paper, and for various types of board such as MDF (medium-density fiberboard). The finer softwoods have many special uses.
they are used for making window frames,doors,frames,t.v. stands,flooring and beds. people use these all the time actually even to make toys for children.
What qualifications do you need to become a traffic engineer?
B.Sc. Engineer (Civil) or M.Engg (Transportation) or M.Sc. Engg (Transportation).
What is the value of the long term modulus of elasticity of grade 35 concrete?
According to IS 456-2000 the value is square root of 5700fck
What type of bridge was the first to be built?
The first bridges were built by nature in the form of trees falling across streams. The first bridges build by humans were also made of wood logs and were simple in design, but did not support much weight.
sulphate resisting cement. Mainly applied for concrete in waste water facilities.
What is cube test of concrete?
we can define the compression strength of structure by cube. if we can not get sufficient strength of cube so we should hamaour bond test, NDT, Core test. means we can preparation by cube test.
Is simply supported beam better than fixed for seismic design?
Most beams for buildings are bolted together and allow some rotation at the fittings, and are treated as simply supported beams. It is not question of better but of practical design. If rigid connections with fixed ends are desired, it will usually invove welding
What is the nominal size of the bricks?
For building curtain walls: 4" T x 8" H x 16" L Building Curtain and Partition Walls: 4" T x 8" H x 16" L
What is the longest bridge in Sri Lanka?
Kinniya bridge. Nearly 300m on A 15 road. And longest steel bridge is kallady bridge, Batticaloa.
The Towers are 510 feet high. The roadway is about 100 feet above the sea.
Crown Prosecution Service. Central Policy for Studies. Corporate Protective Services. Centre for Partially Sighted.
These are just some. A more comprehensive list can be found at the link below.
What is the slenderness ratio of a concrete square piles?
It is the ratio of the effective length of the pile relative to it's radius of gyration of it's cross section.
It is usually less or equal to 200. The higher the ratio the weaker or ineffective the strength of the square piles.
No, any Diploma not equivalent to BE.
In any discipline, esp. in India, after attaining a diploma, you need to study for three years to get a BE.
What is the difference between civil and architectural drawing?
The main difference is industry the CAD is aimed at. But really if you break it all down into its simplest form there is no difference. CAD is CAD. Its all just lines and circles.
But if we look at the actual software we find there are specific softwares related to specific industries for instance AutoCAD Revit Suite (fantastic btw) caters for 1)Architectural 2)Structural 3)Mechanical, Electrical and Piping. Its a program split into 3 but interconnected (check it out) but the use of the program and functions are all the same.
However if you really mean mechanical as in part modelling then there is a huge difference.
AutoCAD Revit is an area of CAD called Building Information Modelling (BIM) this is where everything is basically library based in its simplest form. A huge parametric library of components is added to lines and points you've drawn on a plan. The properties of these components are then altered through a specific list of possible configurations and editable variables.
Solidworks on the other hand is another form of CAD which is the one I think you mean by mechanical. But really you can do any type of modelling with it if you know what your doing. Solidworks is a dimension based part modeller. It can create solid parts, surface parts, sheet metal parts and much Much MUCH more. In this type of CAD you take an idea or a sketch (more commonly a doodle) and create a custom part from scratch. There are libraries involved in there too but for the most part its usually from scratch.
Both types have their own specific simulation systems. And their are other abilities each of these CAD types can do but I just wanted to scratch the surface or else this answer would be a proper report!
What type of bridge is Westminster Bridge?
The Chelsea Bridge is a suspension bridge. Similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
What is the purpose of a water tower?
The purpose of a water tower is to maintain constant water pressure in a water distribution system.
so people can have running water i there house
The above is true, but there is more to the story.
Water towers function as storage cisterns for water and also serve to equalize water pressure between times of heavy and light usage.
Water could be sent directly to homes and factories using pumps, but this would result in large differences in pressure during times of fluctuating useage since the pumps would be unable to compensate quickly for the increased/decreased demand.
The water tower serves as a buffer zone, supplying water at exactly the same pressure (gravitational pull, which is constant) throughout the day regardless of useage, and the pumps can easily respond to lower levels as needed

What are the Advantages and disadvantages of working stress design and ultimate strength design?
Ultimate strength design assumes the entire cross section of a member is subjected to its yield stress and will generally save material, but be less conservative given the same factor of safety.
What is concrete mixing ratio for c35?
The mixes of grades M5 M10, M15, M20 and M25 correspond approximately to the mix proportions (1:4:8), (1:3:6), (1:2:4), (1:1.5:3) and (1:1:2) respectively.
While concrete has been used as a building material for many centuries, concrete hollow blocks have only been manufactured since the early 1900s. These blocks are used in all types of building projects.
How much aggregate are used in 1bag of cement?
Approximately 5bags of cement are in 1 cu.m concrete ratio 1:3:6 with 20mm aggregate, water-cement ratio 0.5.
What is Cast in situ concrete?
Cast in place. Concrete is poured where at its permanent location. For example, a manhole cast in-situ will be formed and poured at the pipe connection. This is the opposite of pre-cast, meaning it is cast off-site and transported to its permanent location.
What name are concrete admixture?
Mineral admixture are those which are mixed with concrete ingredients and spread through out the body of concrete to favourably modify the properties of concrete . the commonly used mineral admixture are
1. Fly ash
2. Silica fume
3. Rice Husk ash
4. matakaoline
