LEGEND OF CIVIL

It is also known as the name of lilypad (the highly ribbed leaf of Victoria water lilies). Ecopolis means small city and this concept has come for climate change refugees. As we know global sea levels predicted to rise significantly over the next century due to climate change, a lot of people living in low lying areas are expected to be displaced from their homes.  Vincent  Callebaut  is a Belgian ecological  architect  propose this concept.  It is completely self-sufficient floating city that would accommodate up to 50,000 people. Design concept It is designed as a  double skin of the floating “ecopolis” it means it will be made up of two part one part is below the water and the other one is above the water surface. the lower portion which is immersed in the water located on the center which will be worked as an artificial lagoon. The upper portion will be constructed on three marinas and three mountains as you can see the...

Before discussing the importance of orientation of building let's understand what orientation is? orientation gives us information about the direction and position with respect to any point and space. In other words, we can say that it analyzes the relative position.   In the building, orientation plays an important role during the functional design. It tells us placing of building in such a way that it gets the maximum advantages of the natural source for maximum possible comfort. Artificial things or devices can create comfortable conditions inside the building but the cost is a major consideration and these comforts keep us away from natural comfort. that's why we do not use natural resources in the correct way like use of natural wind direction use of solar energy use of rainfall We continuously use mechanical devices for comfort in building hence we have faced many problems like Increase in temperature Humidity pollution stress or tension health We can g...

It is used in rail joints to maintain the continuity of the rail. It allows expansion and contraction of the rail which happens due to the temperature variations It holds the ends of the rail both laterally in line and vertically in level It is arranged as it bears the stress due to lateral and vertical bending moments without getting distorted It absorbs the shock caused by the jumping of the wheel over the expansion gap. It allows a free moment of rail for expansion and contraction so that the web of the rail can't touch each other

It is all about the arrangement of various components or units of a town in such a way that the town as such attains the significance of living species or organisms. when we talk about town planning then we have been talking about urban planning. Town planning demands active imagination and a sharp common sense of the understanding of various needs of the society. A town would be successful only when people living in it get comfort and the secrete of the town have following features that make it successful:   Economy   Development and innovation have frequently been linked to rapid sustainable economic growth. Recent unprecedented globalization and technological advancements have made understanding this relationship more important than ever. Indeed, innovation occurs through a complex process embedded in individual and collective human knowledge, experience, and space, leading some to advocate the importance of fostering the social capital and creative capacity of lo...

Materials are very useful for surviving.  Building materials or construction materials are the major requirements in this modern age of technology.  Engineering fields like civil, mechanical and automobile should know about material science to built and design different kinds of structures, machines, automobiles without any problem and for long time usage.  The Construction Materials area of study gives students a comprehensive understanding of the composition, microstructure, and engineering behavior of materials used in civil engineering applications. What should be the property of the material in the perspective of civil engineering fields? • Physical properties • Mechanical properties • Chemical properties • Electrical properties • Magnetic properties • Thermal properties

Soil liquefaction can be defined as the phenomenon by which the strength of the soil is lost either due to dynamic or static loading. Most of the earthquake forces are the major causes of soil liquefaction. The vibrations of earthquake shockwaves in water-saturated soils trigger the phenomenon. |                                                        saturate soil                Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils, that is, soils in which the space between individual particles is completely filled with water. This water exerts pressure on the soil particles that influence how tightly the particles themselves are pressed together. Prior to an earthquake, the water pressure is relatively low. However, earthquake shaking can cause the water pressure to increase to the point where the soil particle...
