Geotechnical engineering

program. I will be graduating from Texas A&M University in December 2014 with a major in civil engineering (geotechnical concentration) and dual minors in geology and geophysics. Throughout my undergraduate education, I have upheld a very high level of academic accomplishments while working as engineering teaching assistant and web application developer at my undergraduate institution. As an engineering undergraduate, I strive very hard to

supervisor, who introduced me to each member of the department of planning and engineering design where I will be working for two mouths, and after join the construction department for the rest of internship. Wednesday, I met again with my supervisor who gave me my schedule, and put me in contact with a design engineer for a training in Micro station, a graphic engineering software used by the department of planning and engineering for drawing and design purposes. In the afternoon, I spent my time learning

stands on the soil. So, Geotechnical Engineering has much more to do with every construction being planned. Always being an enthusiast to learning and innovation, the four-year undergraduate degree inspired me to achieve and learn more. As time passed with technical knowledge, I became more interested in-depth knowledge. Many factors have triggered my mind and influenced me for pursuing a Masters of Science in Civil Engineering with the major in Geotechnical Engineering. Basic ideas in this field

Light Weight Aggregate (LWA) has gained good acknowledgment in the field of Civil Engineering for more than 70 years. It is mostly used for cast-in-place structural light weight concrete for skyscrapers and bridge deck and is now greatly used for geotechnical application (Holm and Valsangkar,1993). LWA is an alternative for accelerated backfill. Formed of shales, clays, and slates, when heated in rotary kilns at temperatures over 1100˚C. The heating process makes LWA strong, durable, and light weight

for foundations is a very broad activity requiring the synthesis of insight, creativity, technical knowledge and experience [1]. Information is required and decisions have to be made at various stages including: (i) the geological environment and geotechnical characterization

FOUNDATIONS The foundations of the building transfer the weight of the building to the ground. While 'foundation ' is really a general word, normally, every building has many individual foundations, commonly called footings. Usually each column of the building will have its individual footing. Since the weight of the building rests on the land (or rock), engineers have to study the properties of the soil very carefully to ensure it can carry the loads imposed because of the building. It is common

civil team was awarded a contract to design and provide project management services for a prominent German pavement company for the construction of a sales and maintenance facility in Redcliffe, Western Australia. As a design engineer, I prepared engineering documentation for the construction of all stormwater infrastructure on site. I was also attended side on a regular basis to sign off on all hold points during the civil construction phase, starting from the bulk earthworks up until the finished

Engineering was newly introduced to the United States in the late 1700s. The jobs were minimal and fully educated men were few and far between. America had a shaky start in the engineering field, but the profession quickly picked up speed. From 2009 to 2013, engineering degrees grew twice as fast as other disciplines (Bidwell, “The number of STEM degrees earned in the last 5 years grew exceptionally”). Everything from the most basic principles of engineering and the minutiae of an engineer’s daily
