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.

Which cement is best opc 43 or ppc for rcc and plastering work?
Ppc cement is best for rcc and plastering work because it has more final compressive strength.
More over it has no alkali formation thus more resistant to corrosion.
What is the yield strength of 80000 psi tensile?
80000 psi of what material? Stainless steel? If so, it is 30,000 psi minimum in annealed state, but a lot higher if cold drawn, which also raises the ultimate strength.
What is a bridge sopposed to do?
a bridge is supposed to support you fat body you stupid idiot. this is because you eat tooo many cream cakes
hay fatty boom boom hay fatty boom boom =]
What is the fundamental premise of reinforcement theory?
Reinforcement theory posits that behavior is influenced by the consequences that follow it. Positive reinforcement strengthens a behavior by providing a rewarding stimulus, while negative reinforcement encourages behavior by removing an aversive stimulus. Conversely, punishment weakens behavior by introducing negative consequences. Overall, the theory emphasizes the role of external factors in shaping and modifying behavior.
What is the opposite of elastic?
The opposite of elastic is inelastic, where a material cannot stretch and rebound. A material without this quality could be "inflexible" (rigid, stiff) or one that did not rebound, termed "plastic" (deformable).
Elastic suggests that the material recovers its original shape after an applied load is removed. Plastic means that it doesn't recover its shape. Steel is an example of an elasticmaterial, when it is loaded within its capacity. It becomes plastic if it is overloaded. Concrete can be considered an elastic material only in compression.
Will the results of the deflection will be the same if the material is differently?
Different materials give different deflections depending on a number of properties. The main properties that effect deflection are the youngs modulus, size/shape of the section (2nd moment of area), elastic modulus.
All materials have different properties and values for the things mentioned above. So some materials will be able to deflect more than others.
How do you explain why we use trusses?
define truss why we use truses what is it's rules explain it all
Is tension boomilever stronger than compression boomilevers?
Yes. This is because the strength of wood when compressed, decreases per length unit the longer the piece of wood is. However, wood holds the same strength in tension no matter the length. In the compression boomilever, the compression chord is longer than in the tension boomilever.
Determining the Coefficient of Uniformity (Cu) and Coefficient of Curvature (Cc) only has meaning when classifying coarse-grained soils, i.e. clean gravels (GW or GP) and clean sands (SW or SP) having more than 50% of material larger than No. 200 sieve with less than 5% fines. Gravels and sands with more than 12% fines (GM, GC, SM, SC) are distinguished using Atterberg limits. There would be no reason to determine these coefficients for fine-grained soils (i.e. clay, silt and peat).
Why Planning is Looking forward and controlling is looking backward?
To what extent is planning 'backward looking'
Where does the San Francisco Bridge go to?
Which bridge? There are two. The Golden Gate Bridge goes to Marin County, which is basically the county north of San Francisco. The Bay Bridge goes to Oakland and the East Bay.
What are the content of investigation report for a major bridge?
Title Page, Table of Contents, Body of Writing, and then the Bibliography
Why does the water pressure in your sprinklers fluctuate?
Because someone is using water somewhere else. For instance, if you are having a shower and someone flushes the toilet, the water going to the shower is decreased because some is going to the toilet now.
A clear span truss is a structural framework designed to span a wide distance without internal supports, allowing for an unobstructed space underneath. This type of truss is commonly used in applications like bridges, warehouses, and sports arenas, where maximizing the usable area is essential. The design typically incorporates triangular shapes to efficiently distribute loads and enhance stability. Clear span trusses are valued for their ability to provide large open spaces while maintaining strength and rigidity.
