What is Mean sea level

Image
Mean sea level  Mean sea level or sea level is the average level of the surface of sea/ocean . This average of sea level is taken by the average of one or more oceans. How is it related with civil engineering?  As we now know that mean sea level is an average sea level .so here it acts as a particular geodetic reference point . From this reference point height such as elevation can be measured. It is  used as the standard for determining terrestrial and atmospheric elevations and ocean depths. Every state/country/place has a different MSL .if you are curious about your place you can get it on Google. There are changes in mean sea level with the change in volume of water in the world ocean and to variations in the ocean currents. sea level isn't the same level everywhere.   So we can't be too absolute about elevations above sea level.   Thus civil engineering's also use MSL for the elevation or elevation drawings of the site's and houses.   The height measur

What is civil and CTM engineering

Construction engineering Construction engineering is one of the vast part of the civil engineering.so mainly it deals with the designing , planning, construction and management base such as roads ,bridges , dams and totally contains all the majority of the civil engineering works. Along with the construction engineering there is another term associated called as construction technology.now a days there is a seperate branch which deals only with the practical aspects called as construction technology management (CTM).this word may be new for many people but has very good scope . Education for construction managers is primarily focused on  construction procedures, methods, costs, schedules, and personnel management. There is a large difference between construction technology and construction technology management . Here the construction managers focus only on completion of the project ,within the budget and with the same quality as promised to the costomers. Difference between

what is coastal engineering

 coastal engineering So far you knew that coastal engineering is something like civil work done near the coastal region .but actually coastal engineering is  a small part in civil engineering in which construction takes place near or at the coast and they also are concerned about development of the coast.here development means they provide  protection against tsunami,waves,other disasters .They always work to reduce the impact of these in the areas like oceans,seas,seashore,beach etc. Besides this coastal engineers also do works like environmental impact assessment,port development and port defense and energy production facilities. Here coastal engineering  deals with waves and climate conditions ,storms , tides and even seismically triggered wave s    because the main aspect of the coastal engineering is the protection or defence of costal areas. Responsibilities of coastal engineers Erosion and flood control Erosion protection and protection is one of the main r

This is why you should choose civil engineering

Many people are confused about choosing their passion and in what they are really interested in.so even i was confused while i was choosing and this is how i did it. before choosing any stream you should know at least little bit of it . so even here i saw what civil engineering was . civil engineering    Before choosing civil.i just knew that civil engineering just deals with building but  its actually  a professional engineering which deals not only with construction but also the design and maintenance physical and naturally built environment .so this deals with the works such as roads,bridges, canals etc  interesting fact was many people believe that the pyramids in egypt was built by aliens but it was built the normal people but those people are now called civil engineers .the idea of building increased from that period only and now we see remarkable changes in this field and that what made made to choose civil engineering . And speaking about the education now we ne
