Non destructive testing of concrete can be defined as the test method used to examine the properties of concrete used in the actual structure. These test methods can also be said as in-situ tests or in-place tests. Traditionally these tests are said to be as the non-destructive test although some minor damage to the structure may be involved. An important feature of non

Millau Viaduct multiple span single line cable stayed Bridge the tallest bridge in the world. Its highest tower stretches a staggering 343 meters in height and 2.5 km in length. It is located in southern France, and is the highest bridge in the world. It is a truly amazing piece of engineering, especially considering the method used to span the distance between

The project cost was estimated at that time to be 13/5 billion pounds and was completed in 7 years by an army of 40,000 workers who took part in the project, of which 149 died in accidents during the construction of Itaipu dam. The dam design showed that it was 18 times larger than hoover dam in USA and 9 times heavier than that. Moreover it produced 6 times more electricity

The first step in the steel manufacture begins at the blast furnace. To separate iron from iron ore ► coke (substance when gas is taken out of coal), limestone and dolomite are charged into the blast furnace. Temperature raised to 1600oF. This high temp causes the coke to burn and melt the iron. This red hot iron drained at an opening at the base of the furnace. Natural

All metals used for engineering works are classified into Ferrous metals: A) Ferrous metals: Wherein iron is the main constituent (Cast iron, wrought iron and different forms of steels) Ferrous metals ► not directly obtained from iron ores Non-Ferrous metals: Wherein iron is not the main constituent (Copper, Aluminum, Zinc and lead etc)
