1. Civil engineering is defined to non-military engineering from military engineering.
2. Vibration is a process that transfers pulses of shearenergy to the concrete, usually by a probe that is inserted several inches into the concrete.
3. The increasing of construction projects creates the need for design professionals, trained in all phases of the project's life-cycle.
4. Finishing refers to any final of the concrete surface after it has been consolidated to achieve the desired properties.
5. Reinforced concrete is concrete that contains embedded steel bars, plates or fibersthat the material.
6. A slipform assembly can only start after the of the walls have been correctly laid.
7. Concrete forms use robotics welding system which extends the life of welds on full concrete forms.
8. Fly ash is used in a variety of involving structural and low strength requirements.
9. Converting existing and new buildings into Green Buildings is one of the most levers to meet the challenges of CO2 reduction in cities.
10. Evaporation of water from concrete, soon after placing, depends on the temperature and of the surrounding air.
