DICOVRIES IN THE FIELD OF

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING…

What is Achievement?

Something accomplished, especially by superior

ability, special effort, great courage, etc.; a great

or heroic deed..

For a Civil Engineer, the comfort and luxury and security of his people, is sole responsibility, his passion and his charisma.

Some of the discoveries or in other words jaw-drooping structure that leave people amazed and nonplused.So, First in the list is Burj Mubarak

The Tallest Skyscraper

The centerpiece of Kuwait's entirely new

City of Silk will be the Burj Mubarak skyscraper. Will be completed by 2016

Maldives floating Island

You might get wrong, this isn’t a fairy land. It is the floating islands of Maldives.

The tools that are

invented…

Pundit Plus

The Pundit Plus is an ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test instrument which is used to

examine the quality of concrete. The Pundit Lab+ comes with an extended feature set, making it particularly suitable for on-site measurements. Naturally it contains all of the features of the Pundit Lab. The new functions include, an integrated gain stage making an external amplifier unnecessary when using long cables or exponential transducers, a real time stamp for recording the time of measurement, a data review list that allows previous measurements to be viewed on site, and a correlation to compressive strength either directly from pulse velocity or in combination with a rebound value (SONREB method).

Ground-Penetrating Radar

New hand-held 4-probe resistivity test

equipment for concrete structures, with

automatic data storage.

Acoustic-Emission Methods

Acoustic emission (AE) is the phenomenon of radiation

of acoustic(elastic) waves in solids that occurs when a material undergoes irreversible changes in its internal structure, for example as a result of crack formation or plastic deformation due to aging, temperature gradients or external mechanical forces.

Improved Cover meters

A cover meter is an instrument to locate rebars and measure the exact concrete cover. Rebar detectors are less sophisticated devices that can only locate metallic objects below the surface. Due to the cost-effective design, the pulse-induction method is one of the most commonly used solutions.
