What does a civil engineer deal with?

Civil Engineers design things like bridges, large buildings, walkways, monorails, etc.. Basically they solve engineering problems that deal with high amounts of stresses (high amounts of weight, tension or compression, etc.).

How much does a geotechnical engineer make?

from my experience (texas and PA in 2005) and Canada 2012. An entry level Geotechnical engineer should be 45 to 60K a year USD in US and 60 to 70 CAD in Calgary. after 5 years of experience in Calgary a Geotechnical engineer could be making from 85 to 95k a year with a top of 100 k for regular engineer after 10 years of experience and 100k Plus (up to 130k) for good practicioners. hope this helps

How long does it take to build a bridge?

It depends on the construction, how complicated it is. Some simple bridges may be built in less than a year, others may take 4-6 years.

How do you calculate the weight of reinforced cement concrete?

as every size bar differ in diameter and possibly type, the reinforcement steel is measured in kilograms per meter, say 8.5kg/m.

the steel weight is actually calculated, as a % of the cross-sectional area.

different applications have different minimum % steel required, roughly work on 1%.

the sum of the bars cross sectional area at each support and spans are seperately calculated and compared to the cross sectional area of the concrete, hence expressed as a %.

How is the density of steel st 37?

The density of Steel St37 is 7.7 to 8.03 Ã?1000 kg/m3. Steel st37 is used for all types of forging.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of friction piles in construction?

1) In machines the mechanical parts which rub with each other wear out. 2) Due to friction between the sole of the shoe and the floor the sole wears out. 3) Tyres of vehicles wear out because of friction. 4) Energy is wasted in overcoming the force of friction.

What is plane surveying?

There are two general types of land surveying: plane and geodetic.

Plane surveying considers the earth to be a flat surface--a plane, which works well for jobs spanning a short distance (a few miles), because calculations are relatively simple. Surveys of this nature account for much of survey work being done.

Geodetic surveying takes into account the true shape of the earth. These surveys are usually of a very large scale and most often performed by government agencies. GPS is capable of automatically giving geodetic positions (within certain qualifiers), though a thorough understanding of the principals of geodesy is necessary to adequately design and conduct a geodetic survey.

Why people want to study civil engineering?

Civil engineers need a good grasp of mathematics and design, and the ability to manage and liaise with a wide variety of people. They need to be able to think in 3D and communicate ideas effectively. This kind of engineering is suited to people who are practical with a creative streak.

What is the unite weight of steel bars?

unit wt of reinforcement bar can be obtained in kg/ meter by d*d/162.162 where d is the dia of bar The formula is based on the density of rebar 490 lb/cft

What to use for curing concrete?

yes there is ..it's called hydo cement...even cures UNDER water..you have to be fast ...it heats up and you have only a few mins. to work with it....it even stops moving water.

Types of alloys?

brass, steel and bronze are the most common alloys. they are made of:

brass: 35% zinc and 65% copper - uses, musical instruments

steel: 99% iron and 1% carbon - uses, tools, car bodies etc

bronze: 87.5% copper and 12.5% tin - uses, boat hardware and screws etc

some not so common alloys are alnico (aluminium and nickel and cobalt - used to make magnets) and stainless steel (18% chromium, 80.6% iron, 1% nickel and 0.4% carbon - used to make surgical tools and tableware and cookware.)

Rajasthan vidyapeeth university engineering btech approved by aicteugcdec?

It has one time joint committee approval in 2007. But after the ruling of supreme court stating that distance education technical courses do not fall under the jurisdiction of AICTE, JRN RAJASTHAN VIDYAPEETH is running the show by taking proper approvals from the UGC ,DEC and HRD.
