"Empowering Minds, Engineering the Future
Smart cities are becoming popular in several countries. The working of such cities are appreciable wonderful. They incorporate technology for solving various issues. We need a fresh way of thinking about what makes a smart city smart.
There are various applications of GPS since it is used for navigation and shrivelling, it is required in many domains. We can observe that technological growth is very rapid and the use of GPS is also getting increased. The combination of GPS and GIS has given rise to the site specific farming an approach to precision agriculture.
Augmented reality is a trending technological advancement that has the potential to change the user experience and visual presentations. Augmented reality use of a synthetic environment for the integration of 4D building information models to live picture. It is more feasible and more effective than the traditional methods. The real and virtual environment are represented as the two poles of the continuum. And, augmented reality is the middle segment of continuum. In the next section, I will show you why augmented reality is important technology to be applied in civil engineering.
Cellular Light Weight Concrete (CLC) is a lightweight concrete that is produced by mixing cement and fly ash slurry with pre-formed foam. CLC is also known by the names as foam concrete, aircrete, foamcrete or reduced density concrete. Cellular lightweight concrete is prepared by introducing air bubbles into the concrete using a foaming agent.
Remote Sensing has been leveraged for various applications in various fields. We will see the definition, components & applications in civil engineering in this blog. Remote sensing is the technology of acquiring information about the Earth’s surface without actually being in contact with it. This is done by sensing and recording reflected or emitted energy and processing, analyzing, and applying that information.
Floating houses are always an attraction to those who cares for the aesthetics and beauty of their residence. More than anything, they have this advantage to sustain from flood. Floating houses are similar in concept and normally defined those houses which are constructed on water in a way that the load of the structure is equal or less than the uplift force of the water which helps in floating the house on water.
Heard about infrared thermography? We are going to deal with the topic in today’s blog. I will walk you through the principle behind the technology, the classification based on its working, applications and the advantages and disadvantages. Infrared thermography uses thermographic cameras to detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and generate images of that radiation, called thermograms. The principle behind infrared thermography is that the heat flow through the body is affected by the presence of internal anomalies.
