Quality Control is a term that needs no special introduction as it’s self-explanatory. While it’s essential in every field to check and recheck to ensure quality, the need for quality management is at peaks for certain industries such as medical and civil engineering as any compromise on quality can have devastating effects and result in […]
Popularly called as displacement piles, driven piles are used to transfer loads of the structures on to them seamlessly such that they support the bridges and heave infrastructures for decades. In fact, a foundation can be termed as pile when the depth of such a foundation is at least 3 times the breadth of the […]
When the history of Civil Engineering unfolds its chapters, load testing enjoys a special place. This highly specialized branch came to counter the structural loads. According to Wikipedia, Structural Loads are forces or accelerations applied to a structure that leads to structural damage or even demolition. The first recorded incident that emphasized the architectural load […]
Rock failures are quite common, and the incidents of people being killed due to landslides keep hitting the headlines regularly. Is there any perfect plan to prevent rock failure? Can civil engineers have something to offer? Can we completely put a check to the same? Fortunately, a civil engineer can lay out ideal plans to […]
Of all the things that technology has been offering to humankind, the Internet of Things (IoT) as it’s popularly called, is rapidly changing the way businesses work. The convergence of embedded sensors, real-time analytics, and machine learning paved the way for what we call IoT. Although there’s probably no dictionary meaning about IoT, Wikipedia states […]
