Evolution of equipment in civil engineering: Old Equipment: Graphometer: A graphometer is a surveying instrument which consists of a semi-circle which has been divided into degrees and minutes‚ and has a pair of sight veins at either end as well as a movable alidade with a pair of sights at either end. It was used to calculate distances by means of triangulation and to determine positions of specific points on land or at sea .Many graphometers‚ although not all of them‚ have a built in magnetic

RETROFITTING AND REHABILITATION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF REPAIRING? • Once problems are clearly identified and objectives have been set‚ a timetable for repair is established in close consultation with the property owner that is in keeping with the findings of the evaluation. • First and foremost‚ the contractor must comply with the drawing details and specifications. To further ensure the durability of the repair‚ repair procedures and selection

Crane hooks Today in this report I will explain how the forged hook is better compared to a cast hook. My reasons towards this decision are later discussed throughout this report. Forging is referred to as the shaping of a metal through the use of compressive force; forging can be classified as hot or cold and will be explained later in the report. Casting is referred to as when a liquid metal is poured into a desired mould‚ cooled then removed. Both of these manufacturing processes have

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES)‚ is a skills development programme initiated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF)‚ in 1973 to bridge the gap between theory and practice among students of engineering and technology in Institutions of Higher Learning in Nigeria. It provides for on-the-job practical experience for students as they are exposed to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery that may not be available in their Institutions

for this project is Civil Engineering. Civil engineering is the design‚ construction‚ and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment‚ including works like roads‚ bridges‚ canals‚ dams‚ and buildings. Civil Engineering has specific writing features that connects the form of the writing to its content to help better understand. The inquiry that I am investigating is; how does the use of figures‚ direct language‚ and abstracts as writing features in civil engineering help the reader better

Resistors & Ohm’s Law Abstract: In this lab‚ students were introduced to the field of electrical engineering. The objectives of the lab were to determine the resistance of a resistor using various methods and to also verify Ohm’s Law. In the lab‚ the students were instructed to calculate the resistance by using color codes‚ measuring the resistance using a Digital Multi Meter‚ calculate the average resistance from 10 voltage and current measurements‚ and find the graphical resistance
