FOUNDATION is the lowest supporting layer of a structure. * Purpose: Transfer the building load to the soil. * The size of the foundation is determined by the weight of the building and the load bearing capabilities of the soil. * When the load bearing capabilities of the soil is low‚ a footing is usually used. Types of Foundation 1. Shallows Foundations * Shallow foundations are those founded near to the finished ground surface; generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than

Doctor Gary Hall Differential Equations March 2013 Differential Equations in Mechanical Engineering Often times college students question the courses they are required to take and the relevance they have to their intended career. As engineers and scientists we are taught‚ and even “wired” in a way‚ to question things through-out our lives. We question the way things work‚ such as the way the shocks in our car work to give us a smooth ride back and forth to school‚ or what really happens to an

The Role of Surface Engineering in the Automotive Industry The subject of surface engineering in the automotive industry has developed significantly in the last decade. A large driving force for the need for surface treatments has been energy consumption. 30 per cent of all energy consumed in the European Union derives from transportation activities‚ relying solely on fossil fuels. Due to this‚ and the push to reduce the emissions of polluting gases‚ car manufacturers must produce increasingly

Genetic engineering is a method of plant breeding that allows the transfer of genes from one plant into another‚ unrelated‚ plant species. The chief goal of producing genetically modified plants is to create species that do not naturally occur in the environment. Pros of plant genetic engineering include: Creating crops that are resistant to herbicides. Creating crops that possess resistance to insects. Producing plants that have richer nutritional value. Creating plants that could serve as vaccines
