Glossary Term
What are dredge spoils? Dredge spoils are the materials like sand, silt and soil that gets accumulate on the bottom of a waterbody which are removed during dredging. Dredging is defined as the clearing of water bodies by removing sediments which can be organic, inorganic, contaminated and hazardous dredge spoils. Although the waterways are usually… Continue reading Dredge spoil
Why is proper drainage crucial for roadways? To ensure the safety and long durability of road structures, proper drainage that does not allow surface water to collect is needed; this may culminate in unsafe conditions. The uncontrolled build-up of water can create a dangerous condition; for example, a layer of water forms between the tires… Continue reading Drainage on roadways
The biggest challenge civil engineers face in construction projects is efficient water flow management. It is crucial for structural integrity and to ensure the long-term performance of projects. So, the most effective civil engineering drainage solution is the usage of drainage composites. Drainage composites are multi-layered materials comprising geotextile fabric and a core, made up… Continue reading Drainage composite
What are drainage cells? Drainage cells reinforce the efficient sub-surface drainage as well as the ventilation of the contractors landscapes and building foundations. It is common to make these cells with high-strength polypropylene or polystyrene, which have three-dimensional structures resembling honeycombs that allows for fast water absorption and movement. In a bid to achieve this… Continue reading Drainage cell
What is double layered asphalt concrete? Double-layered asphalt concrete is an advanced road construction technique that significantly enhances the durability and performance of pavements. This method involves the application of two distinct layers of asphalt concrete, each designed to serve specific functions that optimize roadway functionality and longevity. The double-layered approach is particularly beneficial… Continue reading Double layered asphalt concrete
Design life in geosynthetics in civil engineering is the expected longevity and performance of synthetic materials. Geosynthetics is one of the most important engineered materials that is utilized to give structural integrity. They are a perfect fit for projects involving the strengthening of bridge abutments, soil reinforcement with geosynthetics, or the prolongation of road life. Why… Continue reading Design life
What is the degree of flexure? The degree of flexure refers to the extent to which a beam or structural element bends under external loads . Every material has a certain limit and they respond to bending moments and shear forces differently. The material or object may fracture or become deflected. This aspect of design… Continue reading Degree of flexure
What is culvert headwall? The construction industry has evolved remarkably. The latest technologies, new structures, and convenient interiors have changed every facet of how a structure should look. Even though modernity has taken over this industry, some structures are built keeping nature and its ecosystem in mind. One such structure, a culvert headwall, preserves the natural… Continue reading Culvert headwall
Crocodile cracking: definition, and causes of crocodile cracking Crocodile cracking, also known as alligator cracking, is a type of asphalt pavement distress that takes the form of interconnected cracks resembling the skin of a crocodile. It typically occurs as a result of repetitive stress and flexing of the asphalt surface under vehicular loads. The cracks… Continue reading Crocodile cracking
What is creep and creep strength? Creep is referred to as a time-dependent deformation of a material under constant stress, particularly at high temperatures and creep strength is the ability of a material to resist gradual deformation or failure due to the sustained application of stress at high temperatures. Creep strength is significant in geotechnical… Continue reading Creep strength
