"Empowering Minds, Engineering the Future
Highway engineering is an important topic in civil engineering. It includes the study of roads in depth. The technical aspects involved in this subject plays a significant role in construction of different types of roads. In this blog, I will show you all the details of the subject including the definition, topics, importance etc.
Self driving cars have become a reality in the past five years, and is commercially available now. A car that would drive on its own was something beyond imagination a few decades back. Thanks to technological development, self driving cars are becoming a reality.
A cloverleaf interchange is a two-level interchange at which left turns are done by ramp roads (reverse directions in left-driving regions) (US: ramps, UK: slip roads). Vehicles first proceed to go left (in right-hand traffic) as one lane crosses over or below the other, then exit right onto a one-way three-fourth loop ramp (270 °)
Smart roads and other smart road technologies are relevant to the advancement of the transportation sector of a country. We are going to dig deep into this in the upcoming sections. We’ve all learned about connected vehicles, self-driving cars, GPS mapping, applications for route optimization and ride-hailing services, after all
Hyperloop technology has been in main stream headlines ever since Elon Musk announced its construction. Today, we are going to discuss in details about all the aspect of a hyperloop. The working of hyperloop, its pros and cons, technical details, will be explained in each of the following sections.
Component of a bridge/ bridge components plays a very important role in maintaining the stability and functional requirements of the bridge structure. Each bridge component has its functions. The bridge component types and functions vary as per the site conditions, design requirements, and functional requirements. This article is about a total overview of the components of bridge/bridge components.
Types of road construction are significant to understand the category of roads and their characteristics. In this blog, we will find out the details of 5 types in detail. Whitetopping is the coating of a layer of Portland cement concrete on the existing asphalt pavement. Depending on the thickness of the concrete sheet and if the layer is bonded to the asphalt substrate, whitetopping is divided into different types
Road pavement structure: Road is the most important structure that decides the economic growth of a country. The road structure to be constructed based on the traffic requirements, climatic conditions of the area, terrain, etc. The road structure has to withstand abrasion loads and climatic and terrain conditions without failure. This article is about the components of a flexible pavement structure.
Transport is the main source of GHG. An electric vehicle can be used as an alternative source. We will find out the basic details of EVs along with its challenges and solutions. EVs are defined as vehicles that use an electric motor for propulsion. Although EVs offer several advantages and can be used in different application, there are several challenges in the popular use of them.
Types of pavement are mainly four. I will show you the each of them in detail with the advantages and disadvantages. The flexible pavement layer may reflect the non recoverable as well as recoverable deformations of the lower layer including subgrade on the upper layers and also to the pavement surface. The vertical compressive stress is maximum on the pavement surface directly under the wheel load and is equal to the contact pressure under the wheel.
