Which is the best laptop for a civil engineer?

  1. [Deleted User]

    From my perspective, Acer predator triton 300 will be the best laptop for civil engineers because we engineers need to use heavy softwares. So, recently I'm also using this laptop which is giving me best experience.

    The seasoning of bricks is exactly expressed as allowing the brick to absorb water. It is also known as weathering of bricks. The moisture obtained by the bricks should be able to react with the chemical in the brick. If the moisture obtained by the brick is in its limit and any swelling or deteriorRead more

    The seasoning of bricks is exactly expressed as allowing the brick to absorb water. It is also known as weathering of bricks. The moisture obtained by the bricks should be able to react with the chemical in the brick. If the moisture obtained by the brick is in its limit and any swelling or deterioration is observed to weed out this damaged brick. Then only sound bricks that are seasoned are used.

    Absolutely Yes, factors of seepage are very important to determine before the construction of a dam or even after the construction of the dam for maintenance work.

    Electrical resistivity method is used to determine the amount of seepage and depth of seepage.

    As a civil engineer, it’s our responsibility to provide higher safety.

    Seepage under the embankment is very much dangerous as compared to concrete dams because embankments are built on a very soft material which is easily scoured and it is very vulnerable for the influence of water.

    On other side concrete dam, is built on hard strata and even the defective dam which not the endangered by passing of water from the underside.

    Following are the methods for controlling  seepage

    1. Providing drainage
    2. By reducing the seepage with some proper methods.
    3. Largely use of filters for preventing the piping and heave

    Basically, shear force is the combination of flexural compression which result as C and tends to form an inclined thrust line known as arch. For example consider a simple strut and tie model. Here it may be technically expected that the shear force is supported by the longitudinal resultant.   NαVcoRead more

    NαVcotθNa=αVcotθ

    Shear force is the product of shear stress and area. Thrust line can also affect the stability.

    Flexural strength is the maximum strength (stress) either yield or up to fracture that a structure or element or a member could bear. It could be measures in terms of modulus of rupture at yield also. Where in modulus of rupture is just showing the present stress condition within the member or elemeRead more

    Flexural strength is the maximum strength (stress) either yield or up to fracture that a structure or element or a member could bear. It could be measures in terms of modulus of rupture at yield also.

    Where in modulus of rupture is just showing the present stress condition within the member or element itself. If the member is on the verge of failure i.e on the verge of fracture than the modulus of rupture will give Flexural strength.

    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.
