I am italian, i am studying civil engineer, i am looking forward to improve my knowledge and be in touch with everyone that is fascinating about how the universe works :)
A block of mass M = 4 kg is pulled by a force F = 100 N forming an angle of 60 degrees with themhorizontal plane with friction coefficient 0.3.
Determine the work of force F, friction force and normal force.
how to find a maximum load on a steel square tube that has one fixed end to the wall and another end is hanging free.
suppose the beam is 2230 mm long and the load is applied on the beam on the free end w= 1040 mm. but there also a steel square tube that welded to the middle of the beam and...
Summary:: What is the important thing to consider a factor for build a house ?
I am a civil engineering student and I have a question about What is the important thing to consider a factor for build a house ?
"What is a tuned mass damper" by practical engineering
From 6:36 to 7:07How does the energy of the pendulum tuned mass damper (PTMD) dissipate energy back into the building? Intuitively, it seems like it's momentum or resonance, where the PTMD is in phase with the motion of the building and thus...
Hello!
So I am trying to decide what to do for my masters and would like some advice. I'm in Architecture as a major and physics as a minor currently, and want to master in either engineering physics or civil engineering. I find both very interesting and am pretty open to what I do after school...
Homework Statement
An example in my problem set (homework help) An oak rod is hung from a rigid support.
The rod has a diameter = 12 mm, length = 9 m, and a catch plate at its base.
a) The maximum mass of a weight that each rod can support.
b) The minimum mass of a weight that will break the...
Let's say we have a 3 floor/level building , and someone is making noise outside, i.e: Playing guitar, given that all the building has the same sound isolation everywhere, what can you say about the sound propagation? we have 2 cases a) when windows opened b) when windows closed
Will the...
Hey guys,
I was revising using some past papers for my structural mechanic module when I realized that I don't know how to do this problem:

Can the Hagen-Poiseuille equation be used for a vertical flow in the water tab or any flow that has circular cross-sections with varying diameters? If not, how can the Navier-Stokes equations or any other equations be used to describe a viscous incompressible free-falling vertical jet?
Hi, I am in school majoring in civil engineering. Would it be worth it to practice using solidworks as well as autoCAD? or would that be a waste of time?
Good evening, forum members... I'm currently enrolled in an Engineering class in my school and I'm considering engineering as one of my career pathways, but I would like to know the good, the bad, and the prospects of an engineering career before making a decision. I'm also interested to know...
Hi guys hope all of you are doing well. I am a 24 year old guy, I recently graduated with my Bachelors in civil engineering. I have been working in Construction logistics and as a building permit reviewer for the local municipality for about 2 years. I find civil engineering a nice field to work...
Hello.
I am currently a mechanical engineering major.
I am drawn to the mechanical engineering major because I like physics, all science really, and I believe this degree will teach me a lot about how devices/machines/physical objects work as well as how to build/manipulate the world around...
Title says it, I was discussing this today with my buddy in physics lecture today. We just moved onto kinetic energy and universal gravitation and they seem to do the same thing a lot better and more efficient.
As a civil engineering major, when will I ever use vectors in my line of work?
Hello everyone, I am relatively new to this forum. My name is Domn, I am seventeen, and will be graduating from a community college this June with my AA, and my high school diploma. During my two years at junior college I took a lot of math classes, and am currently in Calculus 2. My math...
Dear friends,
I am completing my bachelors in engineering in civil engineering this year. I always had a inclination towards physics from childhood but followed the most usual path of engineering due to family.
Now, my plan is to go into a field which is similar to physics or requires...
My question is do I need to be exceptionally well in chemistry 12 university level course when going to university next year. I am planning to go into civil engineering next year in university; It deals with structural and transportation systems?
All advice is appreciated.
Hi everybody,
I'm in somewhat of a career conundrum. I'm 24, I've graduated from the University of Maryland in May of 2010 with a BS in Civil Engineering. I've been working for the past year for a fairly prestigious engineering firm, and while I do like my work, I've come to decide over the...
Hi, new to the forum, although i have read some posts before.
I am in the process of completing a structural mechanics report based upon buckling of a slender column.
In the brief they asked us to plot a graph of Critical Buckling Load derived from Euler's Buckling Theory and actual (all...
I talked to some civil engineers who has bee practicing more than 10 years.
Most of them seemed unhappy with their job... , except this one guy who has done a lot of design.
Is this same in other civil engineering related companies or firm ?
BTW: they all recommend me taht I study...
Hey my cousin wanted to be a civil engineer instead of an electrical. He got his electrical engineer at Carleton University http://www.carleton.ca/ . Anyway, when he asked them if any of his credits would transfer to civil engineer, they said "no" because and that he would have to do a civil...
1. What made you choose this type of engineering?
2. What type of equipment do you work with on a day to day basis?
3. What is your educational back ground?
4. What is your favorite part of the job?
5. What is you least favorite part of the job?
6. Do you need a...
Hello I am a sophmore Civil student and I was thinking about talking to some small architectural firms in my area about possible internships or workstudy options. How do you think they will react? I chose Civil Engineering because I felt like it would allow me a wide range of...
