What are the advantages of optical reading theodolites over ordinary theodolites? Also, mention types of optical reading theodolite?
Theodolites with optical instruments have advantage over other layout tools. They have more precise measurements, they are unaffected by wind or other weather factors, and they can be used on both flat ground and sloped ground.

For using robot in construction or civil engineering field AI can control that robot.
AI also helps in development of robots and automated systems. role of artificial intelligence is
reported in the case of smart materials. The smart system refers to a device which can sense changes in its
environment and can make an optimal response by changing its material properties, geometry. Both the sensor and the actuator functions with their appropriate feedback must be properly integrated
Structural Engineering – In the field of structural engineering, they are used to evaluate durability. Not only
the smart materials or structures are restricted to sensing but also they adapt to their surrounding environment
such as the ability to move, vibrate and demonstrate various other responses as well as for monitoring the
integrity of bridges, dams, offshore oil-drilling towers where fiber-optic sensors embedded in the structures are
utilized to identify the trouble areas.
Waste management – Manual disassembly of the waste is a challenging, expensive and time consuming task
but the use of smart materials could help to automate the process. Even it shows a role in food waste
management.
Concrete mix design – Concrete mix design is difficult and sensitive. The concrete mix design is based on the
principles of workability of fresh concrete, desired strength and durability of hardened concrete which in turn is
governed by water-cement ratio law. The strength of the concrete is determined by the characteristics of the
mortar, coarse aggregate, and the interface. For the same quality mortar, different types of coarse aggregate with
different shape, texture, mineralogy, and strength may result in different concrete strengths.
Estimation: artificial neural networks (ANNs) are most suited for developing decision aids with analogy-based
problem-solving capabilities in the estimation.
As well as you can use AI in your network system that can be

What is 30 mins time in case of a septic tank even though it took a detention period of 12-36 hours?
Hi, Let me correct your concept, in septic tank detention period off 24 hours is considered. In this case, the rate of flow of influent= rate of flow of effluent. Septic tank is to be designed in such a way that see wait is retained in the tank for 24 hours and all the biological decomposition in thRead more
Hi,
Let me correct your concept, in septic tank detention period off 24 hours is considered. In this case,
the rate of flow of influent= rate of flow of effluent.
Septic tank is to be designed in such a way that see wait is retained in the tank for 24 hours and all the biological decomposition in the absence of air that is an aerobic bacteria takes place and breaks the soil which living a very small quantity of soil which is commonly called as sludge which settles at the bottom. And the clearwater which out from the tank is known as effluent.
As you asked in question the 30 minutes is regarding the washing time of the tank.
Hope you get clarity.

Hi Raghav,For making any structure there is need to understand the need of the user.
All things are planned accordingly to the need of user. There are various things which are taken into consideration before planning any structures are listed below as follows:
- Selection of suitable land for construction.
- Understanding the plot area and budget which owner can afford to make his home
- Understanding demands of owner may include his preferences, choices and his vision for his dream home. Then it is advised to visited a certified architect
- Then after making suitable plan from architect it’s advised to visit a structural engineer for execution of plan.
- A final submission plan form architect needs to be approved by the local authority like municipal corporations and municipal councils.
- It’s time to get an experienced contractor for ground level construction.
