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 is an expansion bridge?

bridge expansion is when one side of the bridge needs to be propped up

What does gts stand for?

Grand Touring is what is most commonly stands for in Autos which is derived from Gran Turismo an Italian term meaning riding in style and comfort for a long distance and if you base it on school, it means gifted and talented.

What is rcc beam?

Rcc beam is supported between two support to carry the structure

Is there a general-purpose drill bit that can really do the job on wood metal concrete and more?

The ARTU German Drill bits are suitable for all materials.

One drill bit will do all your work whether you are a DIY. trades person or farmer.

Concrete, masonry, hardened steel, glass, ceramic, wood and many other surfaces can be drilled easily.

Special negative grinding on the tip means, no drifting during initial drilling. No centre punch needed - eliminates "walking. Enables the tip to bore through with a filing rather than a boring action.

The tip is a blend of titanium and tungsten carbide for maximum hardness & resistance to heat & water.

Chrome vanadium shank provides extra hard strength.

High tech bonding allows temperatures of up to 1000 deg.

You can now drill brick into steel, wood into brick and concrete in bar steel without damaging the tip.

Can be re-sharpened using a high quality grinding wheel.

How do you test the psi rating of a concrete hollow block and where can you test it?

by using the universal testing machine, you can get the actual max load needed to fracture the hollow block and by using the formula, Compressive strength =load(lb)/Areaofcrosssection(in2) u can get the psi rating..

What happens if you don't dig below the frost line?

Anything buried in the frost affected zone may be shifted around at the frost settles and thaws. Not a good thing for conduits, pipes or foundations.

How did the designers of the Firth of Forth bridge sell their design?

After a fatal bridge collapse, Benjamin Baker rallied for support of an entirely new bridge design. It used triangular structures to support the long center span. This made the bridge very strong and much safer than its predecessors.

How to measure steel elongation?

find it out .

It's measured in the lab after a pull test.

Steel elongation can be measure manually or using device called extentiometer.

To measure elongation of steel manually we must give 2 punch marks on the specimen with specified length (see standard/code such as ASTM, ASME etc for specimen shape and size) addressed L0. After a pull test (tension/tensile test) we measure the distance between that 2 punch marks and addressed L1. Thus, the elongation of the specimen in percentage is ((L1-L0)/L0) x 100%.

Measure elongation using extentiometer is lot more easier because we can directly read the result. But this method limited for small elongation measurement only.

What is the main purpose of a honeycomb?

the main porpose of a honeycomb is so they can store honey

How do you calculate the length of a spiral spring?

L = length of coil

D = diameter of coil

N = number of turns

P = pitch

L^2 = (pi*D*N)^2 + (P*N)^2

using AUTOCAD

make sure view mode in isometric

- type command HELIX

- input base diameter

- input top diameter

- right click mouse, select turn height

- input turn height (pitch)

- input height of coil

you can see length of coil by clicking picture twice to see length in property of helix

the different result between formula above and using autocad is 0.23 %

What are nonlinear relationships?

The relation between two variables, x and y, is linear if the expression can be expressed in the form of y = ax + b, where a and b are constants.

Any higher order terms will render the relation non-linear. For example,

y = x^2

y = sqrt (x)

So are the following:

y = log (x)

y = exp (x)

You get the idea.

How do you make plastic waste into hollow block?

World wide lot of people facing problems to decompose plastic . One of the innovative solution is to use these plastic in Roads , Bricks.

Waste plastic is pulvarized in to small pieces and these tiny bits are mixed with concrete and placed in to mold .

Main advantage with this technology is strength of bricks is increased by adding plastic.

What is tensile strength of tor steel?

  1. Rajuri Thermex TMT500 rebars have excellent bend properties due to the unique ductility (elongation values) obtained when using the German HSE Thermex Technology.
  2. Corrosion Resistance properties

    Controlled water-cooling prevents the formation of coarse carbides, which has been cited as the main cause for the corrosive nature of common bar.

    Another reason for better corrosion resistance is the absence of surface stresses caused by the cold twisting (and Torsteel) process.

  3. Weldability

    Rajuri Thermex TMT500 rebars with carbon content less than 0.25% can be used for butt and other weld joints without reduction in strength at the weld joints.

  4. Fire Resistance

    Unlike Torsteel and CTD Rebars, Thermex bars have high thermal stability. They are the preferred choice when elevated temperatures of 400-600 C may be encountered (Chimneys, fires).

  5. Earthquake Resistance

    Thermex rebars have high fatigue resistance to Dynamic/ Seismic loads due to its higher ductility quality. This makes Thermex bars most suitable for use in earthquake prone areas.

  6. Formability

    Due to very high elongation values and consistent properties through out the length of bar, Thermex rebars have excellent workability and bendability.

  7. Strain Ageing

    Due to unique and scientific manufacturing process and chemical composition, Thermex rebars show no tendency of embrittlement either during welding or cold deformation of welded joints.

  8. Cost Effective

    Thermex TMT rebars required 15-20% less usage than CTD bars for same work with cost 5% more than than CTD bars. This results in overall saving of 10-25%.

Did juan de la cierva have a quote?

"It would have been virtually impossible, indeed, to have achieved any success with the idea of the Autogiro unless I had been able to calculate its basic design by mathematics before I began to build it. Success by mere experiment would been as unlikely as the successful construction of a cantilever bridge without any previous engineering experience."

What happens when you bridge an amp?

If you bridge a 2 channel 4 channel ect. you are taking the power from both channels as if it was a single channel amp.
