CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY

When a #civil #engineer designs a #structure , he should evaluate the strength of each#material he'll be using and while constructing a certain material , the civil engineer's job is to #TEST IT . 

We will bring you here the various test used and needed by a Civil engineer.

The subjects covered will be 

A- Material testing 

B-Soil test for highway Purpose

C-Mix Design of Concrete Accordance 

D-Asphalt Test and Mix Design

Every week a certain subject will be covered and we'll be answering questions you might have !!
