Tied arch bridge (also called a bowstring-arch bridge or bowstring-girder bridge) is a type of bridge that consists of rib on both side of the deck, and one tie beam on both arches that support deck. Vertical ties connected to the arch support deck from above. It can be considered a bridge between the arch […]
Building information modelling (BIM) is a technology which provides a realistic three dimensional model of a structure containing different information of a structure in one single model. In simple word, BIM is a single platform which combines different units of a structure making it easier to create clash-free structure. It is a platform in which

The very basic need of a human is shelter. The construction methods have evolved significantly in recent times. As efficiencies in both the buildings and the project are required, the modern methods of constructions are becoming popular among builders and are being adopted in a large number of projects. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Both

Building material is any substance used for construction purposes, like materials for building a house . Innovative building materials are the need of the hour. Clay, wood, cement, lime, concrete, aggregates, bricks, glass, metals etc. are the common materials used in construction. The choice of the material is based on their cost-effectiveness for building projects.

3D Printing in Civil Engineering can be used to create construction components or to print the entire building. 3D printing is basically the construction of 3D objects from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. It refers to various technologies that use 3D printing as a core fabric method for fabricated building or construction

Geosynthetics are natural or polymeric material used with soil, rock or any other related building materials. Geosynthetics have entirely changed the way civil engineering, especially geotechnical engineering, is practised. Geosynthetics gives Innovative solutions to solve severe problems economically and expediently. Geosynthetics enables the use of local materials, i.e., sustainable solutions. Many manufacturing companies around the

Most of the buildings may be damaged due to the termite attack. Most of the wooden structures such as doors, windows, roof trusses, ceilings, roofs, wardrobes etc are badly affected by the termite attack. The termite control in buildings is necessary because the buildings which are affected by the termite attacks become unsuitable for shops,
