have made the people to be in touch. Also‚ for the sales of products was necessary to build bridges as an alternative way to those people who didn´t have boats to transport their products. The bridges have been an amazing advance into the civil engineering field. As the time passed‚ the bridges were needed for transportation and to be used as communication routes. The bridges have been changing as needed‚ either to make them more efficient or innovative. Now day civil engineers are not only involved

Structural functionalists‚ or functionalists view society as a whole‚ where each part such as the family‚ our education‚ the government‚ religion‚ and the economy work together in order to keep all of society as a whole living a sustainable lifestyle. According to Functionalism‚ society is a system of linked parts that work together to maintain a state of physical balance for all of society as a whole. Functionalists believe that society works together to promote unity and strength and focuses on

Introduction: Every engineering field probably has a unique list of issues that will affect the student and is affecting employees in that particular field. One of the most prominent issues affecting the field of Industrial Systems Engineering is the communication barrier; Communication barrier between the upper management‚ the engineers‚ and the employees or the workforce on the factory floor. This barrier could prove to be a problem in the achieving the goal of efficiency at workplace. Discussion:

An appreciation of the assumptions underlying software engineering can lead to a better understanding of the applicability of structure and quality of work produced. Software plays an important role in business decision-making‚ and because of its growing importance‚ assumptions should not be excluded. Its seems

the truss itself‚ i.e. to construct a truss that would hold a relatively high efficiency score. And construct the bridge in such a way to as to keep the deflection of the structure at minimal. Introduction First of all‚ what is a truss? In an engineering view‚ a truss is a structure that is made up of series of triangular unit made of straight members that are connected at junctions known as nodes. External forces created by bodies known as loads‚ are often placed on areas of the structures which

The test jig looks like this: (Well-built bridges can support over 200kg - the weight of two adults) Structural Analysis A bit of thought‚ or modelling with a computer-aided design program‚ shows that the bridge can be reduced to a simple triangle. The force required to break a well-constructed bridge is orders of magnitude greater than any other forces

Plot the variation of vertical stress with radial distance (up to 10 m) at a depth of 5 m. 2. Three point loads 10000 KN‚ 7500 KN and 9000 KN‚ act in line 5 m apart near the surface of soil mass. Calculate the vertical stress at a depth of 4 m vertically below the centre (7500 KN) load. 3. Determine the vertical
