REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

2. MATIAS A. ARREOLA
3. PAGES 162-202
4. FOOTING DESIGN
5. This chapter I learned the importance and definitions of footings. Footing is lie
under the basement, crawl space or foundation walls and transfers the structural
load from the walls to the supporting ground. In this chapter I also have a
background about the different types of Footings, Isolated or Pad Footing, Strap
Footing, Combined Footing, Continuous Footing and Mat or Raft Footing.

2. GERALD JONKER AND JAN HARMSEN
3. PAGES 2-11
4. INTRODUCTION
5. In this chapter I learned more about the roles of engineers and I knew that
more15 million engineers populate the world. As in many other professions, there
are different kinds of engineers, including civil, environmental, mechanical,
electrical, chemical, industrial, agricultural, mining, petroleum and computer
engineers. Engineers are involved with two kinds of projects: 1. they design and
build projects that meet basic human needs (potable water, food, housing,
sanitation, energy, transportation, communication, resource development and
industrial processing). 2. They solve environmental problems (create waste
treatment facilities, recycle resources, clean up and restore polluted sites and
protect or restore natural ecosystems). Engineers are problem solvers. Use skills
or information.
1. SURVEYING PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS
2. BARRY KAVANAGH
3. PAGES 617-620
4. LAND SURVEYS
5. I learned in this chapter that Land surveying is an essential means of mapping
land boundaries, distances, slopes and features so as to enable land
development and accurate land registers. The surveying process has been in
existence for a very long time and many say it is the second oldest profession in
the world. In fact, records show that it dates back to ancient times in Egypt,
Babylon, Greece and Rome. History reveals a lot about how people accurately
established their cities, monuments and kingdoms along with determining land
ownership using boundary records.
1. MATRIX ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES
2. ASLAM KASSIMALI
3. PAGES 162-170
4. BEAMS
5. In this lesson I learned that Analytical models are mathematical models that have
a closed form solution, the solution to the equations used to describe changes in
a system can be expressed as a mathematical analytic function and t creating
the global stiffness matrix for a structure built entirely of truss elements. These
elements only have two local degrees of freedom, axial motion at each end. In
this section we’ll extend the ideas we used for trusses to create beam elements,
and then assemble a global stiffness matrix for frames. Then we’ll look at special
cases where we may use only portions of the full element stiffness matrix.
1. RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
2. CHRISTOS N. PYRGIDIS
3. PAGES 197-200
4. MONORAIL
5. In this chapter I learned that A monorail is a railway system in which the track
consists of a single rail, typically elevated and with the trains suspended from it.
The term is also used to describe the beam of the system, or the vehicles
traveling on such a beam or track. And I know the 3 types of Monorails the The
Urban Monorail Facilities for passenger or cargo transport either straddling a
track or suspended from one, are generally called monorails, Straddle-type and
Suspended-type Monorail Systems Monorails are classified into straddle and
suspended-type systems. Since the straddle-type travels by straddling the track,
its center of gravity is situated above the track and The Large, Medium, and
Compact Monorail Systems Monorails developed in Japan are classified into
large, medium, and compact systems, depending on the size of the cars and the
overall system scale.
1. BRIDGE AND STRUCTUE ESTIMATING
2. J. DAVID NARDON
3. PAGES 3-5
4. INTRODUCTION OF ESTIMATING
5. I learned in this lesson is estimate is a calculation of the quantities of various
items of work, and the expenses likely to be incurred there on. The total of these
probable expenses to be incurred on the work is known as estimated cost of the
work. The estimated cost of a work is a close approximation of its actual cost.
And the types of Structure named; Rigid frame is that type of structure in which
the members are joined together by rigid joints e.g. welded joint, Truss is a type
of structure formed by members in triangular form and the resulting figure, Beam
is a flexure member of the structure. It is subjected to transverse loading such as
vertical loads, and gravity loads. These loads create shear and bending within
the beam.

3. PAGES 3-5
4. ATOMIC BONDING
5. In this chapter I learned that Atomic bonding is chemical bonding. Chemical
bonding is the physical process that is responsible for the interactions between
atoms and molecules. And there are three major types of chemical bonds: ionic,
covalent, and metallic. Ionic bonds form due to the transfer of an electron from
one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between
two atoms. Metallic bonds are formed by the attraction between metal ions and
delocalized, or free electrons.
1. FUNDAMENTALS OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
2. AMR S. ELNASHAI AND LUIGI DI SARNO
3. PAGES 36-39
4. EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKE
5. The summary of this chapter is Earthquake environmental effects are the effects
caused by an earthquake on the natural environment, including
surface faulting, tsunamis, soil liquefactions, ground resonance, landslides and
ground failure, either directly linked to the earthquake source or provoked by the
ground shaking. These are common features produced both in their near and far
fields, routinely recorded and surveyed in recent events, very often remembered
in historical accounts and preserved in the stratigraphic record. Both surface
deformation and faulting and shaking-related geological effects not only leave
permanent imprints in the environment, but also dramatically affect human
structures. Moreover, underwater fault ruptures and seismically-triggered
landslides can generate destructive tsunami waves.
1. ROCK FOR EROSION CONTROL
2. MI. ELROY/LIENHART
3. PAGES 69-76
4. ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING OF ROCK USED AS EROSION PROTECTION IN
ARID ENVIRONMENT
5. In this chapter I learned about crushed rock fragments are used in arid
environment to control slope erosion. A test technique was developed to assess
the durability of the fragments when the solar heated to summer temperatures
and the quenched by thunderstorms containing hail. Aggregates were heated to
66 C and maintained at the temperature for 23 hours.
1. CONCRETE DESIGN
2. PAUL W. MCMULLIN, JONATHAN S. PRICE AND ESRA HASANBAS
PERSELLIN
3. PAGES 18-24
4. CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS
5. I learned in this chapter is all about concrete. Concrete is a composite
material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with a
fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens over time—most frequently a lime-
based cement binder, such as Portland cement, but sometimes with
other hydraulic cements, such as a calcium aluminate cement. It is distinguished
from other, non-cementitious types of concrete all binding some form of
aggregate together, including asphalt concrete with a bitumen binder, which is
frequently used for road surfaces, and polymer concretes that use polymers as a
binder.
1. LOW COST SEWERAGE
2. DUNCAN MARA
3. PAGES 1-4
4. GLOBAL NEEDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN URBAN SANITATION
5. I learned in this chapter is millions of rural households with adequate sanitation,
the world continues to urbanize, and cities will increasingly bear the burden of
poor sanitation with an estimated 57% of urban dwellers lacking access to toilets
that provide a full sanitation service, 16% of urban dwellers lacking access to
basic sanitation services, and almost 100 million urban residents practicing open
defecation.
1. CONTRUCTIONS MANAGEMENT
2. A
3. PAGES 19-22
4. INTRODUCTION OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRAST

5. The summary of this lesson is construction contract is a mutual or legally

binding agreement between two parties based on policies and conditions
recorded in document form. The two parties involved are one or more owners,
and one or more contractors. The owner has full authority to decide what type of
contract should be used for a specific development to be constructed and to set
forth the legally-binding terms and conditions in a contractual agreement. The six
types of contracts are, Lump sum contract, Item rate contract/unit price contract,
Lump sum and scheduled contract, Cost plus fixed fee contract, Cost plus
percentage of cost contract, Special contracts.

2. MARTIN ROCES AND BERNARD ENRIGHT
3. PAGES 16-19
4. FORECASTING FUTURE TRAFFIC FLOWS
5. This chapter is all about Real-time spatio-temporal measurements of traffic flow
speed are available from in-ground loop detectors or GPS probes, rely on traffic
flow data, and machine learning to predict speeds for each road segment. Real-
time forecasting gives travelers the ability to choose better routes and authorities
the ability to manage the transportation system. Deep learning is a form of
machine learning which provides good short-term forecasts of traffic flows by
exploiting the dependency.
1. FAILURES IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES
2. ROBIN WHITTLE
3. PAGES 1-5
4. FAILURES DUE TO DESIGN ERRORS
5. I learned in this chapter is one example of design failures that cause errors
named Highway 19 Overpass in Laval, Quebec, A 66-foot section of the De la
Concorde overpass in this Montreal suburb gave way in 2006, crushing two
vehicles under concrete and causing a third to fall over the edge of the roadway.
Five people were killed and six others were seriously injured. Built in 1970, a
number of factors contributed to the ’06 collapse: poor initial design, incorrectly
placed rebar reinforcement, low quality concrete and a fracture along the
horizontal plane that had grown in the years before the catastrophe.
1. ENGINEERING TREATMENT OF SOILS
2. F.G. BELL
3. PAGES 29-31
4. EXCLUSION TECHNIQUES
5. In this lesson I learned that Steel sheet piles are long structural sections with a
vertical interlocking system that creates a continuous wall. The walls are most
often used to retain either soil or water. The ability of a sheet pile section to
perform is dependent upon its geometry and the soils it is driven into. The pile
transfers pressure from the high side of the wall to the soil in front of the wall.
And Contiguous bored pile wall is an earth retention system formed by installing
closely spaced Bored piles, with a small gap between adjacent piles. In contrast,
a Secant pile wall is an earth retention system formed by installing overlapping
Bored piles. These walls are designed either as cantilevered or with a variety of
supports (ground anchors, walers & struts, etc.). Secant piles are usually
selected where there are particular concerns about groundwater inflow, i.e.
where there is a high groundwater table and permeable soils.
1. CIVIL ENGINEERING SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2. LUIS AMAJOR-JIMENEZ
3. PAGES 1-3
4. INTRODUCTION TO MODELLING
5. I learned in this lesson is Civil engineers deal with three main tasks during their
career. Analysis, Design and Construction. When analyzing, engineers are
commonly required to verify and suggest means to comply with regulations or
ways to improve the performance of a system and in doing so, they seek to
achieve performance goals. In designing, engineers face the need to create the
built environment and this typically results in conflicting objectives of
professionalism, developer’s interest and resources. Finally during construction,
an engineer faces the need to allocate labour, equipment and materials to reach
given milestone on time’
1. PLUMBING DESIGN AND ESTIMATE
2. MAX B. FAJARDO JR.
3. PAGES 1-4
4. PLUMBING
5. The summary of this chapter is plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a
wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing
fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids. Heating and
cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most
common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications. The word
derives from the Latin for lead, plum bum, as the first effective pipes used in
the Roman era were lead pipes.
