Civil Engineering

Generally 4 to 5 years of study at a college or university with an Engineering program, which includes a lot of math and sciences courses and many labs. You would most likely have to complete internships and co-op programs to inhance your learning. its simple but hectic. its also involves some design work and administration skills. all you need is to go and consult a university for the academia.. and the rest is upto you. its a responsible job. as it relates with lives. do take this study seriously or leave it. i am also a civil engineer! so trust me! Your first year will be general maths and physics, maybe a computer programming course, and most likely Drafting and/or Surveying. Second and third years you will take more maths courses, and you'll start courses in "structural analysis" (e.g. finding forces in the different members of frames and trusses). More complicated structures require more complicated analysis methods, which is why you took all that funky math in 1st & 2nd years! You will also start to get some courses in the properties of different materials (wood, steel, concrete) and how they behave under load. Likely there will be a lab or two on the subject, and these are usually quite fun. At this point you will also get some "Introduction to Design" courses where you start to match up the "Analysis" courses (finding loads and forces) with the properties of load carrying materials. In fourth year you will do specific courses in Steel Design, Concrete Design, maybe Wood Design, introducing you to the codes and standards required by law. There will likely also be courses in Construction Management and Ethics. If you have a choice, choose a co-op program: a lot of things like cost estimating and spec writing that you need as an engineer are not taught well or even at all in school. You will see them only on the job, and the sooner the better. Everyone knows that, of course, which is why you require a few years of work experience before you write the exams for your Province or State Licensing body to become a fully licensed Professional Engineer. It is a very rewarding profession---good luck with your studies!

The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge is the large suspension bridge located in San Francisco, spanning the gateway between the opening of the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The length of the bridge from abutment to abutment is 1.7 miles, the width is 97 feet and the bridge weighs around about 887 thousand tons including anchorages and approaches. The bridge is painted Orange Vermillion, also known as International Orange, and needs constant touch ups to make sure the salt content in the air does not erode it. When the Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is now the 2nd longest suspension bridge in the United States and the world's 9th longest suspension bridge.

Dams must hold back water of a certain depth, determined by the height of the dam. The pressure exerted by this water on the dam is dependent in part by its depth, since the base of the dam must be able to hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base.

An overhanging beam is one that extends beyond its supports. This is also called a cantilever.

Some basic questions and answers in civil engineering include what it is. It is professional engineering dealing with design, construction, and maintenance of physically built works including bridges, roads, and buildings. How long does a civil engineer have to go to school? To get an academic degree in civil engineering, you need three to five years to complete your studies.

The answer will depend on how much there is.

First of all i guess the right question is difference between strain and deformation. Actually the strain is deformation in a material over its original length. So strain is a relative quantity while deformation is simply change in length, hence absolute and is new length minus original length.

Strain= deformation(L2-L1)/original length(L1)

As a prefix, it modifies an adjective to give the sense of extremeness: Absolute Zero is hyper-cold.

As slang, it's a short form of "hyperactive"; i.e. wound up and moving a lot, usually due to some medical condition.

Dry lean concrete is used as a sub base for structural concrete. It contains much less cement and more sand compared to structural concrete.

Bridges were ivented for the simply reason...to get over them. Bridges that go across lakes,rivers,any land of water were created so that you can get over without having to get in a boat and travel among the water. Its common sense, i have not researched this so no promises but i have learned this in school, And like i said its simply common sense.

The Civil Engineering Data Standards manual states the density of many grades of concrete. Standard density for fresh M-25 concrete is: 2414 Kg/ M3.

mainly two types of Vibration measurement: shaft vibration Bearing Vibration

I think so. But who am I to tell u wat to do..

Green sand is a mixture of sand with bentonite clay, pulverized coal, and water used in metal casting. It is not necessarily green in color, but is called green because it is used while wet, like the "green wood" sometimes used by wood turners.

•The lowest portion of the building structure.Usually located below the ground level.

•A foundation is a part of the structure which is in direct contact with the ground to which the loads are transmitted.

The arbitary limit of water content that represents the boundary between the liquid & plastic state is called as liquid limit.

importance of civil engineers in Nigeria is to help improve in certain sectors of the nigerian economy and also in construction of infrastructures to improve the life style of its native

The tallest building in the world (completed) is the Burj Dubai, As of July 20 2009.

It is now known as the Burj Khalifa

That depends on the concrete, as well as weather conditions, and the load the concrete would be subjected to. Concrete gains strength over time and the usual benchmarks are 7 days, and 28 days. At 28 days concrete has usually cured to nearly its maximum strength. For a concrete footing in a residential environment say a deck or home the concrete will usually cure for a minimum of three days before the formwork is removed and the rest of the structure is built. For a commercial or civil project the curing is subject to the engineers discretion.

As it has been explained to me there only purpose is to support and separate the rebars in their respective locations. Other than that, they are doing the same thing as wire mesh... displacing concrete.

Building engineer is concerned with only buildings, but civil engineer can deal with all the streams of civil engineering viz as irrigation, enviornmental engg, transportation engg geotechnical engg etc......

On a dry day, a couple of hours, on a humid day you might want to wait until 24-36hrs. later.
