what is the overall importance of geiotechnical issues in civil engineering project\n? highlight the geotechnical aspects of a road pavement in detail.............\nand\n\nbruiefly explain the role, responsibility and challenges of a geotechnical engineer?

Well, as a retired engineer, I wouldn't brand yourself so narrowly as a geo....what?   Identify yourself as a civil engineer and your job opportunities might explode, then you can choose geo...whatever if it is offered to you.  You will find that whatever discipline you call yourself associated with ,you at some time in your engineering career, will work on the fringes of that dicipline and likely outside of it as you do your homework (it never stops). I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer and worked both in Aeronautical engineering and Civil engineering as well as mechanical engineering.  Don't constrain yourself with titles.

I chose civil over mechanical for a couple of reasons.  First, people will always want roads, water and to flush their toilets.  Second, civil engineers aren't limited to populated areas.  Even very small towns need a civil engineer, so I have a wide variety of geographic locations to choose from.\n\nWhat motivates me is designing things, seeing them built and helping people be safe.

Time compression.....sounds cool.  I think your question (what approach to take) is too general to get much good feedback here.  Where are you in the process?  The proposal stage?  Concept paper?  Have you picked a topic yet?  The other answer was correct in terms of finding and reading your university's thesis guide, it will have a lot of good information.  Feel free to email me with questions.

My boyfriend did mechanical because he thought it was generic - that there are many fields you could go into.  Ultimately, he was thinking about going into management.  I did civil because I didn't want to be cooped up inside all day like an electrical.  I don't think civil limits you particularly.  After obtaining a general civil degree I had the choice of going into structural (buildings), geotechnical (soil properties), water infrastructure, construction, transportation, hydrology (flow into rivers).  I would be hesitant to go into electrical or computer science because of the ease with which it can be outsourced.  Finally, environmental engineers have a very strong future.  They would be interested in habitat management - they make sure that a construction project would not be detrimental to the environment, they might be involved in water or wastewater treatment.  Keep in mind that whatever field you choose, eventually you'll probably be doing more project management and less actual engineering.

hey, well, i'm in eighth grade and i've seen a lot of great projects...is it just a project on anything scientific or is it in a certain area (physics, chemistry, etc)?\n\n\nfeel free to e-mail me\n\ncaty_rocks_ur_sox@yahoo.com

National Geografic website has a lot of information about it. \nIf you go to the linlk provided and then to the section of Natural Forces, you will find a lot of material to support your research. \n\nSecond link is about simulate and understand these events, explaning how it works at all their levels. You can find it to Earthquake, Hurricane, etc. I've putted the link to Vulcanoes\n\nGood luck

Dear Jessie,\n\nAre you looking for thesis title suggestions?\n\nHow about:\n(a) The conquest and occupation of Iraq by America is neccessary/unneccesary for the stability of the Middle East.\n\n(b) The crisis at North Korea is a threat to the stability of the Asia Pacific region.\n\n(c) The bird flu is a health risk to the human race due to the advancement of global transportation capability.\n\n(d) Global climate changes are due to man-made influences on the environment.\n\n(e) China is now called the world's factory, can this stay true for the long term?

Hey! I just finished learning about active transport! The teacher confused me soooo bad! I had to have a friend in my class explain it to me. I would suggest going to google and typing in "active transport" and clicking on the news tab on the top. good luck with your project!

It's played a major role.  If we didn't have chemistry, we wouldn't have durable and long lasting construction materials.  Chemistry is able to tell us what materials will survive what type of weather, and the range of temperatures a material is able to survive in so that we dont use the wrong types in the wrong places, like using a weak plastic in the sahara desert, though that probably wouldnt happen.

If you want to be an engineer, your going to have to do your own homework.\nyou need the coeficient of friction between the two sufaces.

Looks like you are reading the book only. sometimes you have to get into some experiments, lab work to get better understanding.\n\nMechanics is the most Important part of physics or any dynamic structural analysis. To get better unserstanding ask your teacher to give you real time examples to solve.\n\nIf you do not understand the basics of Mechanics of materials, you'll have hard time to understand the properties and the analysis part in the future.

Every thing is designed based on some constraints. A good design would take care of all constraints and then deliver. A civil engineer can design roads for the next 100 years and completely maintenance free but then he would not be able to meet the constraints of land requirement, budgets and a feasible time frame for completion of the project, and not to forget the one major factor the technology available.\nThus you see vast difference in civil designs of public utility structures of developing and developed nations. Both the designs are suitable according to the above mentioned constraints.

Currently websites are missing for basic engineering. If u can built website related engineering basics it will be of great helpful to growing buddies.

Yes, i do think its important. but its proabably the hardest topic to memorize since theres so much of it to know.  Geography which is the physical nature of the earth like climate, vegitation, sea masses, and all of their interactin with the human population.  So there for when you see some one on your television talking about the days weather or when you find diseases that can seriously put a hurting to the populaion on the earth like mad cow disease. All of this has to do with geography,  Geography in my opinion is a very important subject.  And the thing is every day of your life involves it.

Think about it. When you drive someplace, can you always drive in a straight line? Or do roads twist and turn to go around obstacles? How many miles do you really have to drive to cover this distance? And what is your potential average rate of speed? This should give you some idea about what you have to think about to answer this problem. Good luck!\n\nPS Look at a map to identify all the potential obstacles to a straight drive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Works_Administration\n\nheres a webpage i found, i dont know whether it answers your question or not....but it explains about the administration...\n\nhttp://www.civilworks.com/\nhttp://www.usace.army.mil/civilworks/\n\nand here are some website, perhaps after go through the pages, you will have a brief idea about civil works\n\ni think its all about buildings and stuff...for the public usage, like building bridges, roads, etc....\n\ndoes that answer your question? i hope yes....

I WORK IN CONSTRUCTION -- ASPHALT ACTUALLY.  I PERFORM QUALITY CONTROL, TESTING IT BEFORE IT GOES OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY.  I LOVE IT.  I AM THE ONLY FEMALE THAT WORKS OUTSIDE THE OFFICE AND THAT IS A HUGE PLUS.......SINCE I FIND WOMEN ARE HARD TO WORK WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.  \n\nHAVE A GREAT DAY!
