Civil Engineer — Sun, 27 May 2012 02:20:40 +0000

1. Introduction to marine projects: Marine structures are those structure built on sea or near it, properly designed to withstand internal, external loads and aggressive environmental exposures both physical and chemical in order to prolong service-life. Reinforced concrete structures as part of marine structure are exposed to severe physical and chemical exposure such as wave [...]

Acceleration of Concrete Hydration in Cold Weather

admin — Sat, 26 May 2012 02:05:55 +0000

Cold weather concreting can not be successfully achieved if you don’t understand the process of concrete hydration in low temperature. The reduction of setting time and the acceleration of strength gain often result in substantial savings due to shorter protection periods, faster form reuse, earlier removal of shores, and less labor in finishing flatwork. • [...]

Students receive and send in assignments through mail or email rather than attending the school in person. In other words, the difference between on-site and remote university studies is physical. Rather than communicate face to face, students [...]
