Concrete has been a prominent construction material for centuries due to its versatility, making it a preferred choice over wood or steel. It is composed of coarse and fine aggregates, cement, and water. Lightweight Concrete is a versatile building material with unit loads ranging from 80 to 120 pounds per cubic foot and compressive strengths varying from 2,600 psi to over 8,500 psi. Being approximately 15% to 45% lighter than normal weight concrete, it offers several advantages. It reduces a structure's dead load, leading to lower foundation costs and decreased requirements for concrete and reinforcement. Moreover, structural lightweight concrete exhibits better fire resistance com...

Virtual Reality Technology Used in Civil Engineering.

Vi rtual reality refers to computer-generated environments or realities that are designed to simulate a person’s physical presence in a specific environment that is designed to feel real. The purpose of VR is to allow a person to experience and manipulate the environment as if it were the real world. Virtual reality can be divided into: The simulation of a real environment for training and education. The development of an imagined environment for a game or interactive story. The use of virtual reality techniques in the development of educational applications brings new perspectives to the teaching of subjects related to the field of civil construction. In order to obtain models, which would be able to visually simulate the construction process of two types of construction work, the research turned to the techniques of geometric modeling and virtual reality. The applications developed for this purpose are concerned with the construction of a cavity wall an...

Introduction to Civil Engineering Materials

Civil Engineering Materials is Building and construction material used during the construction of the building, designing structures and developing infrastructure projects including bridges, dams, pipelines, and roadways. There are two types of construction materials : Natural: → Timber , clay/soil, Rock and gravel. Artificial: → Bricks , cement , Lime, stones , Ceramics, Glass, Paints /Varnishes, Plastics, Tiles, marble and granites. The modern civil Engineers needs to deal with traditional construction materials as well as advanced materials. Traditional construction materials, such as timber,...
