Finally we know who built pyramids

Who built the pyramids 

The great pyramid of giza which is one of the seven wonders of the world situated 15 miles from the centre of modern Cairo .
So now many had this question or doubt or we could call it a secret that who built the pyramids and what is the connection of the pyramids  with the civil engineers .
Many people still believe that aliens were involved in this . But actually it was built by the people , hundreds of ancient Egyptians carried huge blocks of Lime stone and granite to Giza . the pyramid  of khufu remained the tallest structure on earth made by humans for over 3800 years . It was composed of 2.3 million stone blocks . The grate pyramid was originally covered with highly polished lime stone . The pyramid had inner passages going both up and down unlike the other pyramids . It is the only eight sided pyramid in Egypt .It aligned with the star's in the Orions belt and pointed to the pole star alpha draconis . it is the most accurately aligned construction ever created facing true north . It is exactly at the centre  of the land mass of our planet .The parallels and meridians which cross the most land only meet two places on earth , one of them is in the deep blue oven . The other one is where the great pyramid is .all this proves how skilled the people must have been to be able to build it.
Many people said that it was built by aliens .after all many great constructions on earth , like Stonehenge , Easter islands figures apparently look too good or too genius for their time . Many people believed that the plpyramids we're built to store grain . But in 1859 , a British publisher John Taylor concluded that  the pyramid was not built by aliens . He said this as he noticed something  called the 'pyramid inch' .which was identical to British inch . In 1884 one more theory came up stated that the pyramids we're originally  hills and it was snapped in the form of pyramids later .

How is it related with civil engineering .

 finally here's what and how the pyramid was built ,
new proof has been found to tell us how Egyptians were able to transport  2.5 ton blocks of lime stone and Granate for 500 miles to build the pyramids . Labour's  transported lime stone from tura to giza in wooden boats . First they had to transform the landscape to divert water from Nile and direct it to the pyramid through artificial canals . Then they started transportation  of limestone  blocks to the construction spot . The journey took around 3 days and this is how they built pyramids easily and these canals are now vanished .
this is how the pyramid was built and evolution  of civil and transportation  Engineers  happened .

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
