What is the effect of the seasoning of bricks on strength?
How can we predict the height of a building without using the equipment?
Trigonometry is the best method which can be used to predict the height of the building without using equipment. But if possible than you can also ask to see the builders plan.

A convergent beam of light: Whenever several rays coming from different directions & meet at a single point are nothing but the Light's convergent beam. Thank You.

Thank You.

The triangle which is formed on the earth by three geodesic lines joining three points on a spheroid while performing geodetic survey is known as spheroid triangle. Thank you.

Here, from a geotechnical perspective you can’t differentiate silt and clay on the basis of grain size because it can be irrelevant to material behaviour.

Here, from a geotechnical perspective you can’t differentiate silt and clay on the basis of grain size because it can be irrelevant to material behaviour.
Silt and clay are both the result of the physical and chemical breakdown of the minerals in rocks. They main difference is in chemical composition and particle size.
Silt is composed of silicate minerals, or those containing silicon and oxygen.
Clay is composed of metal silicates, or silicates with metals like magnesium or aluminum associated with it.
But in terms of handling the two as part of an experiment, the main discernible difference is particle size. Sand particles are larger than silt particles which are in turn larger than clay particles. Silt particles are about 0.05 to 0.002 millimeters in size. Clay particles are smaller than micrometer in size. So silt particles are too small to really be felt with your fingers like grains of sand. But wet silt will feel very smooth like finely ground baking flour. Clay particles are so small that they will simply feel sticky. You won’t be able to move them around your fingers like silt particles. This stickiness will be the main difference between the two in terms of touch.
See lessWhy do we mostly use green and white colored GI sheets for roofing and side cladding of industrial sheds? Why are there no other color combinations?
Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are other combinations like blue and white etc, but is there any specific reason for mostly using green and blue along with white?

Presuming that you do not want to opt for higher studies (otherwise you must have been sure by now),I would suggest you to give time to yourself,actually introspect and find out if there is something that interests you in the field,if you want a job in the core field?…
These are the basic ideas I have-
1. If you money is what you want and you don’t care whether your career grows up or is stalled, PSU is what you are looking for!
Prepare for GATE because PSUs barely do campus recruitment now.(for Civil Engineers)
2. If you want your technical knowledge to be put to test,you want to earn by toiling and learning,go for the private sector.If you don’t know yet,
BUT
If you doubt it,here’s this for inspiratio
The man behind L&T
(I am sure you must be knowing it!)
M.Tech. is a good option after civil engineering? After B.E. or B.Tech., what should a student prefer M.B.A. or M.Tech.?
From my view M.Tech will be the best option after B.Tech because it holds many job opportunities with it. A candidate can get job easily in research and development organizations, manufacturing firms, and IT companies as project manager, Research Associate and Senior Engineers.

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.
