 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 waves  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 responsibility of coastal engineer. They provide protection against the devastation attributed to either erosion or storm waves.

And coming on flood control 
With adequately engineered and developed defenses, the negative effects of the bad weather are reduced and therefore flooding is averted.

  • Harbors and coastal engineering

Coastal engineers construct artificial harbors by installing breakwaters along with other marine structures, generating a safe refuge for vessels, wherever no natural harbor exists. These kind of artificial structures suck in the pressure of the waves, repelling it from hitting the vessels anchored in the harbors .

Why cement is grey ?

Colour of Cement . Cement has become the basic and important part in the Feild of construction. Earlier Egyptians used calcined gypsum as cement and greeks and Roman used lime made by heating limestone and added mortar with coarsar stones for concrete. And then finally in cement was discovered in 1824 by burning finely ground chalk and clay until carbon dioxide is removed. Now cement and its composition is well known by anyone . But how many of them know why cement is grey in colour ? Generally cement is not fully grey in colour. Instead it also consists whitish grey colours also . This whitish Grey colour of the cement is due to the presence of iron  in the cement. This is because to make white cement, we need ingredients which donot dicolour it. The primary culprit is Fe2O3 . In the other ingredients (limestone , clay and little gypsum ). Chromium and Manganese are also a source of discoloration. However, making white cement requires sintering into clinker at around 1600C

New super wood found to replace steel in the field of construction

Super wood . We all know how steels are used in construction mainly because of their durability, strength and resistance. In this the most common steels used are carbon steel, aluminium, copper tubing and Stainless steel and even titanium  . But now engineers have found something which we would call as the  super wood.  Yes, thats right in early days we used woods for conconstruction.  Mainly  in America . But now because wood lack in strength we use steel . But the're is no need of that as we have super wood . New process could make wood as strong as titanium  alloys but lighter and cheaper.  Engineers at the university of Maryland have found a way to make wood more than 10 times stronger and tougher than normal  .  And the cost is also cheaper than any steel . Engineers  say that this wood can even compete  with the ultimate  carbon fibre . They say that it is strong as steel, but six times lighter than it. The team tested the wood by shooting bullet at the normal and th

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
