Things Must Civil Engineer’s Known

Here some this must civil engineer’s know to be given below:

-every engineers must know different tests performed on SOIL,AGGREGATES,CONCRETE,CEMENT &BITUMEN

-test on soils which is used to determine bearing capacity of soils, which is further used in design of foundation.

-the survey methods and can study the survey maps ,use of total station,theodolites,compass, levelling machines and other surverying equipments

-code provisions like ASTM, ACI, AISC, IS ….

-the basic knowledge of geo-technical investigation and soil properties.

-length to height ration,the thickness of the wall and area of other rooms while designing a building.

-about the different methodology of structural calculation like force method , displacements methods and moments methods.

-different test performed on water like PH value,hardness,acidity and alkalinity, etc

-the minimum thickness of the slabs is five inches

-water absorption should not be more than 20% in brick and not more than 5% in stones

-lapping is not allowed for the bars having diameters more than 36 mm it is then welded.

-minimum bars for square column is 4 nos and for circular column is 6 nos

-PH value of the water should not be less than 6 and not greater than 8.5

compressive strength of bricks is 3.5 N/mm

-in steel reinforcement,binding wire required is 8 kg per MT.

-a set of cubes tests shall be carried out for each 30 cum of concrete /every batch of cement

-water cement ratio for different grades of concrete shall not exceed 0.45 for M20 and above and o.50 for M10/M15.

the other concepts/subjects which are necessary is

-estimating and costing

-construction management

-steel structures

-transportation

-geo technical /soil mechanics

-drafting/drawing using software

-water resources and environmental engineering
