    Demolition is defined as simply the safe and careful removal of existing buildings & structures in order to utilise the land for another use.

    The several methods for the demolition of any structure are as follows ;

    • Total Demolition : It refers to the demolition of an entire building or structure. In case of community re-structure, this is the most common method.
    • Interior Demolition : This method refers to the demolition of interior part of the building, while protecting and maintaining the exterior structure. For example; partition walls, ceilings, etc. This method is one of the great option for creating more space inside the building by removing the troubling areas.
    • Selective Demolition : This method refers to the removing of specific parts of the building. In case if there is a old building which is not performing as it should & the entire building is not a state of concern. Or perhaps it is a listed building, therefore it may be restricted as to what and how much you can demolish. So you could select a particular section of a building to demolish and build up from scratch.

    Tensile test is done on cylinder because only cylinders can be held under pure tension by applying a compressive load. That will only happen if it was under pure tension. If we take any other prismatic shape such as square cross section cylinder, the failure will be via compression but not tension.

    I’ll better explain this with an example.

    Imagine Mr. X as PWD engineer. According to assurances of politicians to public, construction of a highway within a region will be taken up. Now, it is the responsibility of Mr X to take up the construction activities.

    Now to do this construction, no government servants are available readily. Bulldozers, rollers, laborers..not readily available. Hence the project will be awarded to a contractor. Just like you give contract for construction of your house to a mestri or an Engineer. Except here Mr X cannot directly award the contract to any contractor according to his/her wish and will (quite practical huh!).

    So what Mr. X does is, he/she will call for a tender through newspapers and/or online for the construction of highway. Tender is a document, in a very general sense, indicating money that Mr X is ready to spend on construction of highway. He will quote the max amount.

    Now different contractors will “bid” their amount (based on their infrastructure and technologies) to the above mentioned project and (technically. Ahem!) project will be awarded to that contractor who quotes lowest bid (less than tender amount obviously).

    All government civil engineering projects like govt schools, hospitals,dams,roads…any construction activity runs on same lines. This is very very generalized answer. there are quite many other factors involved in this.

    My answer would be, “Food, clothes, and shelter are the basic necessities of mankind. Civil engineering provides one of the three basic necessities. I also chose civil engineering because it is the most practical branch of civil engineering. It gives life to the drawings. The satisfaction of looking at your drawings and designs getting life and standing up tall can not be compared to any other form of pleasure!”
