millions of people worldwide. I have thereby dreamt of a future for myself. Have dream of my kids and their friends tuning to a TV channel‚ just to find their father being introduced as the man who changed the face of structural engineering in the world. I dream of taking structural engineering to the level not imagined. I dream of a world where the less privileged people in the society won’t need to get a mortgage before they can build their own

Kohat-Potwar Oil and Gas Exploration and Production The first oil well drilled in present-day Pakistan was at Kundal on the Potwar Plateau in 1866. The first commercial oil discovery was made in the Greater Indus Basin in 1914 when the Attock Oil Company completed a 214 ft well on a thrust-faulted anticline near Khaur on the Potwar Plateau (Khan and others‚ 1986). Early success in the Kohat-Potwar geologic province served to focus much of the early exploration activity in that area. The Sui

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ADVANTAGES : Use of high strength concrete and freedom from cracks‚ in prestressed members‚ contribute to improved durability under aggressive environmental conditions. The use of high strength concrete and high tensile steel in prestressed concrete members results in lighter and slender members than could be possible by using reinforced concrete and Mild steel as reinforcement. In prestressed concrete‚ steel is no longer required for

PARTS OF CEILING Introduction A ’coupled’ roof is a conventional roof that is constructed on-site. It uses ceiling joists‚ hanging beams‚ strutting beams‚ struts‚ underpurlins‚ collar ties‚ rafters and ridgeboards. Ceiling joists -The ceiling joists have a double function: --they provide the structure onto which the ceiling is fixed --they are the member that connects or ties the lower ends of rafter couples (pairs). Therefore‚ they prevent the rafters spreading and causing the roof to

For years‚ social action theorists have sought out to understand how society operates. Unlike structuralists for example Marxists‚ action theorists are a micro level approach where they find the study of the individual and their interactions within society more important to our understanding. Action theorists are more voluntaristic‚ they believe that individuals possess agency where they have the ability to be free agents in themselves and in shaping society. Max Weber is well known within sociology

is Non-Combustible. There is a ton of unprotected steel on this building which is a noncombustible material. It expands significantly when heated‚ which could either push a wall out or‚ if it is confined‚ twist and turn‚ with the possibility of structural members falling. The biggest concern is all of the unprotected steel on this building‚ its big‚ it’s heavy and once it starts failing it could definitely be a huge safety issue! Another concern could be the contents inside the center. Such as tables

an na ci v il. t k DOWNLOADED FORM http://annacivil.blogspot.com Abstract 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

perspective with that of the conflict theory Marxist and functionalism are similar in that they see that the way society is structured as an important part in determining the way people have relationships and behave between themselves. This is known as structural perspective. Both functionalists and Marxists believe that people are portrayed as creature within the social system. The view of both conflict perspective and functionalist perspective as it refers to the family. The family is universal
