ELEMENTS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

ELEMENTS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING:

INTRODUCTION:

Civil engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the planning ,designing,construction and maintenance of structure like buildings,roads,railways,airportbridges,docks,dams,water supply etc.

Civil engineering is the oldest branch of engineering which is growing right from stone age of civilization.

Branches of civil engineering:

The main branch of civil engineering are as follows :

Surveying and Leveling

Building planning and construction

Advanced Construction

Geo-technical Engineering

Structural Engineering

Structural Engineering

Water Resource Engineering

Environmental Engineering

Town Planning

Scope of Civil Engineering:

Civil engineering is the broadest and oldest branch of engineering. The main scope of civil engineering is:

Image result for scopes of civil engineering

Planning

Designing

Estimating and costing

Supervising construction

Construction management

Maintenance of structure, etc

The scope of civil engineering may be divided into two groups:

Scope according to the fieldwork

Scope according to the function

Scope according to the fieldwork :

Building construction

Construction of heavy structure

Transportation engineering

Water resources engineering

Geo- technical engineering

Environmental engineering

Town planning

I will only explain you the three types of fieldworks.

1) Building construction:

Constructing residents building like bungalow, row house, apartment, etc

Constructing public building like railway station, school, college, hospital, government office, etc

2) Construction of heavy structure:

Constructing bridge , dams

Constructing airport, harbour, port

Constructing tunnels, cassion, cofferdam

3) Transportation engineering:

Constructing road, highway

Constructing railway, runway, airport

Traffic engineering

Study of highway material

ELECTRIC CARS PART 1

ELECTRIC CARS : INTRODUCTION: An electric cars is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors , using energy stored in recharge batteries . The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880 s. Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engines, electric starters in particular, and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric batteries. TYPES OF ELECTRIC CARS: There are three main types of electric vehicles E.V, classed by the degree that electricity is used as their energy source. B.E.V, or battery electric vehicles, P.H.E.V of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and H.E.V, or hybrid electric vehicles. Only B.E.V are capable of charging on a level 3, DC fast Battery Electric Vehicles (B.E.V): Battery Electric Vehicles, also called B.E.V, and more frequently called E.V, are fully-electric vehicles with rechar

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PART-1

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: INTRODUCTION : A database system is basically just a computerized record -keeping system.The database itself can be regarded as a kind of electronic of filing cabinet; that is ,it is a repository or container for a collection of computerized data files .User of the system can perform a variety of operations involving such files -for example: Adding new files to the database Inserting data into existing files Retrieving data from existing files Deleting data from existing files Changing data in existing files WHAT IS DATABASE SYSTEM ? To repeat from the previous section, a database system is basically a computerized record -keeping system; In other words ,it is a computerized system whose overall purpose is to store information and to allow user to retrieve and update that information and to allow user to retrieve and update that information on demand.The information in question can be anything that is of significanc
