Principles of Fluid flow, Discharge and Continuity Equation Basic Principles of Fluid Flows Conservation of Mass It states that “Matter cannot be created nor destroyed.” Conservation of Energy It states that “Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Conservation of Momentum…
Principle Behind Stability of Floating Bodies In Fluid Mechanics, fundamentals of stability on floating bodies are crucial when planning to build ships, floating bridges, and sea platforms. A floating body can stay steady at its new position after tilting (stable), drift…
Understanding Buoyancy Meaning and formulas What you’ll learn: What is Buoyancy? Buoyancy, to put it simply, is the upward-directed force a fluid exerts on an object that’s been immersed into it. What’s happening here? The pressure at the bottom of…
What you’ll learn Reynold’s Number The Reynolds number (Re) predicts whether a flow is laminar or turbulent. It’s a dimensionless number comparing inertial and viscous forces: Where: Flow Type Laminar : Re < 2,000Transitional Turbulent : 2,000 < Re <…
Fluid Mechanics DEFINITIONFluid Mechanics is a branch of engineering that with the properties of the fluid at rest or in motion. Fluid Mechanics In Civil Engineering, is taught in schools for us to understand how fluids behave may it be…
Understanding the Bernoulli Equation in Fluid Mechnics DEFINITIONThe Bernoulli Equation states that in a steady, incompressible, and frictionless flow, the total mechanical energy of the fluid remains constant along a streamline.It is based on the Conservation of Energy where it…
What you’ll learn Beams Beams are essential elements in structural systems, transferring vertical loads horizontally to supports like columns, walls, or foundations. While factors such as material and cross-sectional geometry influence how a beam performs, one of the most critical…
AI in Construction: A Competitive Edge When people picture construction or civil engineering, they often think of cranes, concrete, and steel in action. But behind the scenes, something less visible is reshaping the industry: artificial intelligence. AI isn’t some futuristic…
Sustainability Sustainability has transitioned from a mere buzzword to a central pillar in contemporary construction practices. As concerns regarding climate change, resource depletion, and environmental pollution escalate, the construction sector faces mounting pressure to adopt more responsible methodologies. Green technology,…
What you’ll learn Seismic base shear, despite its technical air, plays a vital role in earthquake-resistant design—a concept as often mischaracterized as it is crucial. Rather than a figure arbitrarily derived from a formula, base shear refers to the lateral…
