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 need to go through 3-5 years of study to get the degree and call yourself an official civil engineer.
after  seeing what civil engineering i saw what after the graduation what are the different types of jobs that a civil engineer does.

sub-disciplines 

  • coastal engineering 
Coastal engineering is a small part of the civil engineering that just deals protection or management of coastal areas like seas etc , the main thing here is to protection against flodding and erosion.
  • construction engineering 
Construction engineering is one of the major part of the civil engineering . this involves planning and execution, transportation of materials, site development based on hydraulic, environmental, structural and geotechnical engineering .here you find mainly about just the business kind of stuff like what to do and how to manage it ,rather than field work.
  • earth quake engineering 
here they design structures to withstand earth quakes.it involves works like building dams etc.
  • environmental engineering
this is one of the interesting field which deals with chemical and biological and thermal waste ..it also involves treatment of water ,solid waste treatment, air pollution , waste management etc
  • forensic engineering 
as the name suggests it deals with investigate what is wrong and why it failed all such matters .and also they look how to improve them.
  • structural engineering 
here they design the structure of building, flyovers etc and .identifying the loads which act upon a structure and the forces and stresses which arise within that structure due to those loads, and then designing the structure to successfully support and resist those loads.
here they use particular equipment like levels and theodolites to get the dimensions of the site .it is also used to find the distance .

and other types such as 

geotechnical engineering,Transportation engineering,Municipal or urban engineering,Water resources engineering etc

pros and cons 

pros

before you would choose civil engineering why not also look at the pros
  • civil engineering is an evergreen stream or profession and the value for it never decreases.
  • The average salary of a civil engineer is quite higher than any other engineering professionals.
  • if you dont want to work in field you will have both indoor works (sketching etc).
  •  average salary of a civil engineer is quite higher than any other engineering professionals.
  • you have wide range of branches .
  • site becomes your office where you can work freely rather than sitting in cabbin and working.
cons 
  • there might be chances of accidents.
  • it needs a little bit more effort and hard work .
  • it is difficult for the transportation engineers because of the large cities.

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

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

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
