Storage dams, together with other hydraulic structures, are some of the most valuable and beneficial engineering works because they not only help in the development of a country’s economy but also play a vital role in eliminating the risk of floods. Some widely constructed hydraulic structures include storage dams, spillways, outlet works, diversion works.
Achieving control over the response of a structure to the stresses induced in it by the large natural forces of earthquakes and wind storms and designing various vibration control techniques are some of the most fundamental areas which are studied in the Structural Dynamics. One of the biggest concerns while designing a building is to estimate the deformations the structure is likely to undergo.

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries in the world as far as risk involvement is concerned. Most of the construction companies are hesitant in implementing risk management techniques because of the increased expenses needed and the possible delay in the construction activities.
Metal-semiconductor contacts provide a path for the charge to flow from one point to another in semiconductor circuits. The presence of appropriate contacts to semiconductors allows several semiconductors use. Applications of semiconductors have included diodes, organic light-emitting diodes, transistors, and solar cells.

This paper tells what makes the weathering steel unique as its remarkably innovative manner of preventing corrosion. The irony is that it prevents rusting by self-rusting i.e. forming a protective layer of oxide around its body, also known as the “protective oxide film” or “patina”, whose thickness is almost equal to that of a thick coat of paint.

The author has rightly presented that the load of the structure is one factor that needs to be considered while designing the foundations, while the underlying soil’s properties are equally important. If not considered in the designing phase of the substructure, underlying soils can undergo volumetric changes large enough to cause danger to the integrity of the whole structure.

The conclusion from this study states that the life cycle of an oil well involves five distinct stages. Each one has different technical demands and is influenced by diverse political, regulatory, and environmental issues. Each one must be completed cost-effectively for a well to be productive and profitable. To varying degrees, the recent BP disaster has affected all five phases.

The author explains that polymers are made from petroleum and natural gas to provide the world with infinite uses from the very simple, such as food storage containers, to the very complex, as in artificial limbs. Plastics surround everyone at every moment of their day. Without them, all everyday items would cost more.
Many deadly fire accidents have been reported in the past few years. Some of them were due to a lack of proper risk management. There is the scarcity of research showing what could have been done to avoid so many deaths. The reason why this area needs to be researched is to make an effort to avoid such incidents in the future.

Nevertheless, the most important task of civil engineering is the design and planning of various structures. For this reason, it is of great importance that the strengths and weaknesses of the structures, as well as the impact of the outside driving forces, should be carefully examined and analyzed to minimize the severity of the damage potential.
The beauty of cities is important as it acts positively on population moral while the importance of urban aesthetics derives from the benefiting effects it has on culture. City planners need to keep in mind that aesthetics are important in developing projects that have long-term effects. Aesthetics is a common ground upon which to understand how cities perform.

With an air purge system, the flow of warm air will be matched to create a pulling pressure at the higher floors to pull the buoyant air out of the building faster than the fire can create. Doing so creates a cleared air space where occupants of the building can escape without inhaling smoke or being burned.

The owner has to keep in mind several issues, such as, developing an idea, getting licensure, drawing up the business plan, raising capital, funding the company by attracting investors, selecting partners, hiring employees and properly marketing the company. All of this needs real hard work at the owner’s end. Simply developing the idea and the business plan can be very difficult at times, left alone managing the resources.
The booms and busts in a normal economy bring about several results that may impact an industry either positively or negatively. The construction industry is not an exception. The end result of booms is high prices and reduced competition because of full order books. The busts, on the other hand, bring about reduced profits, increased pressure on quality, and cutting costs due to competition.
While the Bartlett dam, being the tallest buttress dam built in the United States is the fine example of such construction, the buttress dam built in Russia on river Zeya in the year 1978 is yet another example of large buttress dam construction as its reservoir has a capacity of holding 68,400,000 cubic meters of water.
Original design methods along with special construction techniques are being implemented in the Crossrail tunnels. Due to safety, environmental aspects and space restrictions precast RCC lining is used in the tunnels.

A reciprocating engine is an engine that uses more than one piston to convert pressure into a rotating motion. This engine is also known as a piston engine. In most of the cases, reciprocating engines use burning gasoline or diesel for getting the pressure. There can be more than one piston. Each piston is located inside a cylinder. A mixture of fuel and air is introduced into the cylinder and ignited.
Self-sufficiency, access to public transport, and the concept of the community are found in both housing schemes.
