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.

Structural piles are tubular elements that are "nailed" in the ground and after they are filled with soil, cementants or concrete for consolidate their strength. They're many used in deep foundations and like foundation columns over soils with high rate of humidity or saturated soils with high levels of underground water, between other cases.
How coarse aggregate can be classified as per IS?
as we know we have sieve sizes. aggregates which got retained in 4.75 mm sieve size is known as coarse aggregates or we can say aggregates having size more than 4.75mm.
Can only civil engineers make builders?
Civil engineers are the people who designs STRENGTH of a structure from a design. They will make good builders but they're not the ONLY ones.
It's usually a team work in construction. Every trade is needed to create a stable structure/building. (i.e. aesthetics, planning, electric, mechanical, etc.)
What is difference between two leg stirrup and four leg stirrup in bar bending schedule?
When we use a single stirrup to tide a beam or column at a time, we say it is two leg stirrup and thus if we use Double stirrup to tide a beam or column at a time, we say it is four leg stirrups. A single stirrup have two leg. _(Er. Aabid Iqbal)
Best answer for tell about your experience?
Just talk about what you did, it the best answer you can give instead of telling lies, which then you are caught up with..
Bent-up bars were extensively used as shear reinforcement in beams and slabs from the first R/C developments up to the 1970's.
Compare the brick work and stone work?
stone is natural material .it is heavier.it costs much to dress it to required shapes and sizes.it is more costly in hilly areas.
Is pure bending possible in a cantilever beam?
Pure bending is not possible in a cantilever beam due to the presence of support reactions. In a cantilever beam, the fixed support at one end creates moments and shear forces that lead to non-uniform bending along the length of the beam. While it is possible to achieve a state of pure bending over a short length, such as near the free end, the overall behavior is influenced by the support constraints and loading conditions.
The best low cost option is probably crusher fine (crushed rocks 3/8" or smaller) if you can get it. It's fine enough that you can walk on it fairly comfortably, it never cracks or buckles, it holds down dust and inhibits mud puddles from forming, and plenty of other good stuff.

What is the use of Archimedes principle in the field of civil engineering?
an object is immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Is imposed load same as live load?
Imposed loads - or live loads, movable loads that act on the structure when it is in use
Imposed load = Live load
