All about civil engineering
Soil and foundation engineering is a trend in civil engineering that studies soil properties and soil behaviors under different loads. Given that existing structures are being built on the soil, it can be said that soil and foundation engineering are directly related to structural engineering.
Basically, trusses are triangular structures used in civil engineering and construction. The types of trusses used in the structure include Pratt trusses, King trusses, cane trusses, umbrella trusses, hawk trusses, rectangular trusses, northern light roof trusses, etc.
A reinforced concrete slab is a crucial structural element and is used to provide flat surfaces(floors and ceilings) in buildings. On the basis of reinforcement provided, beam support, and the ratio of the spans,...

Coarse aggregate is one of the essential components of concrete and occupies the largest volume in the mix. That is why it greatly affects the concrete mix design. Its properties such as strength, maximum size, shape, and water absorption influence water demand, the quantity of cement and fine aggregate in concrete mixture
In this video you will learn what is seismic damper and why we use them in structure? in addition we mentioned friction dampers which are one the most popular type of dampers.
