Since I was young, I have a great wish to become a fully qualified Civil Engineer. Because of my hard work in High School examination, I was accepted to study Diploma in Engineering up to Bachelor in Engineering programme and achieved my Bachelor Degree in Engineering.
After five years studies at ---------University, my desire to command projects from drawings and numbers on a sheet of paper to physical structures has been present. I joined the Government service at Ministry of Construction under the department of long span bridge construction. As it is my first construction project, I fully utilized the theories from my class to the real world and also the concept of Project Management. I digged the bored pile and cast with full strength concrete and produced pre-stress concrete elements and placed in the right place.
I was familiar with National University of Singapore (NUS), since in my student life and have a great wish to study in NUS for my further studies. But unexpected misfortune came in final year and my dreams were collapsed. Among them, the lost of my father made me painful and depressed. I always believe in the saying, “If there is a will, there is a way” and I happened to come to Singapore and look for a job. I could not be so choosy though I wanted to get a career in design field. I still needed monthly income for my living and, luckily I got a chance to work at Oil and gas Industry as a site Engineer. Hence, I am familiar with precast concrete technology and high technology of precast concrete panel installation and as well as steel structural (pipe rack) installation. And one more advantage is my communication skill has been gradually improved and the social network becomes wider as my colleagues at work come from various countries.
I have been deeply impressed in Singapore Structural Steel Design and concepts those we can see easily in public, something like, MRT station, newly constructed Iconic bridge. My impression for

    Structural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The very basis of construction of any building, residential house or dams, bridges, culverts, canals etc. is designing. Structural engineering has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures. The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz., Slabs, Beams, Columns and Footings. In order to design them, it is important to first obtain the plan of the particular building that is, positioning of the particular rooms (Drawing room, bed room, kitchen toilet etc.) such that they serve their respective purpose and also suiting to the requirement and comfort of the inhabitants. Thereby depending on the suitability; plan layout of beams and the position of columns are fixed. Thereafter, the loads are calculated namely the dead loads, which depend on the unit weight of the materials used (concrete, brick) and the live loads, which according to the code IS:875-1987 is around 2kN/m2. Once the loads are obtained, the component takes the load first i.e the slabs can be designed. Designing of slabs depends upon whether it is a one-way or a two-way slab, the end conditions and the loading. From the slabs, the loads are transferred to the beam. The loads coming from the slabs onto the…
