LIFE OF A CIVIL ENGINEER !!!!!!!

The word "CIVIL" is related to the ordinary citizens and their concerns. It is very true that civil engineers are always busy with working for other's benefit. You can not imagine any change without civil engineers. Though it is very rude to hear but it is true that all other engineering comes after civil engineering because civil engineering is related to the one of the basic needs of human being. If you can not live well you can not think about other technologies and to love well you will need civil engineer's help. So civil engineers are serving for the greater goods of human. Here is some greatest quotes by some famous persons about civil engineering;
Go for civil engineering, because civil engineering is the branch of engineering which teaches you the most about managing people. Managing people is a skill which is very, very useful and applies almost regardless of what you do.
– Sir John Harvey Jones
         His father loved him dearly, but his work, that of a civil engineer, had left him with but little time for his family. Energetic, active, and always taken up with some responsible work, he did not spoil his children with excessive tenderness.
          – Mme Estafavia

 So as a civil engineer one should feel proud as he/she is serving for the greatest achievement of human beings.

Though civil engineers doing so many things for civilization they are not properly treated. For example in a country like Bangladesh civil engineers are the most neglected one among all other engineers. Specially in private sectors; employers do not want to pay what the civil engineers deserve. They always want to pay as low as possible. There is no proper implementation of Labor Law. No time limit for civil engineers. In spite of this they are not paid well enough. That is why a huge number of bright engineers do not want to stay in the country. If you search for engineers you will find many many Bangladeshi engineers specially civil engineers in Middle East, Europe, America, Australia because they were not well treated in their own country. So I think Government should fix a Salary Limit for engineers in private sector, Otherwise, this country will loss it's best asset.

SAFETY FIRST

"Safety First" "Safety First" "Safety First". Yes readers, today I will share something about the construction site safety precautions. As construction is a wide thing it consists different kinds of work. So safety measures vary with it's kinds though there is some common thing like workers safety, third party safety etc. Here I will tell about the safety practices which are very important in water pipeline construction( specially Ductile Iron Pipe).   At first, around the working area safety pools and tape should be properly placed and after ensuring this by site manager work will be started. Third party is not allowed within the working perimeters.   # Worker's Safety: This is the most important thing, because without them construction work is impossible. Helmets, safety shoes, gloves and vest (safety belt and life jacket, if needed) must be worn by the worker and these things should be confirmed by safety manager of the site. Workers in hi...

FORMULAS

Frequently used formulas in pipeline construction; 1. h = f(LV 2 /2Dg) h : Head loss (m) L : Length of pipeline (m) D: Diameter of pipe (m) (Normally nominal diameter presented in meter is used.) V: Flow velocity (m/s) g : Acceleration of gravity (= 9.8 m/s2) f : Head loss coefficient 2. For water pipeline, Hazen-Williams formula is commonly used. V = 0.35464C H D 0.63 I 0.54 Q = 0.27853C H D 2.63 I 0.54 I = 10.666 C H -1.85 D -4.87 Q 1.85  Where, CH : Coefficient For cement mortar or epoxy lined ductile iron pipe, a CH value of 150 can be used; however for design purpose, 130 is recommended, which includes losses in fittings, valves and other facilities, plus some allowance. I : Hydraulic gradient (unit head loss of the pipeline) = h/L Q : Flow volume (m3/s)

LIFE CYCLE OF DI WATER PIPELINE

Every living/nonliving thing has a life cycle. Life cycle is a very important thing in construction work because all construction works start with a huge investment. So constructed structure must provide  service for a certain period of time. The service life of structure widely depends on it's construction method, quality of work, actions on it during service life, environmental effects, changes done during it's service life, regular maintenance (not major repair). To know about the life cycle of water pipeline first I want say something about the construction material of pipeline. As we discussing about the life cycle of DI (Ductile Iron) pipeline so here I will write about Ductile Iron. Ductile iron also known as ductile cast iron as it is advanced form of cast iron. Ductile iron retains not only all cast iron qualities but also provides more strength,toughness and ductility. The chemical composition of ductile iron is carbon, silicon, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus,...
