Building Innovations For The Civil Engineers! Are you among those inspired civil engineers, all ready to bring about a change? If new technologies and designs drive you towards innovations, then let’s discuss about few new innovations. We are sure, by the end of reading this one; you will be more than inspired for your upcoming projects. So here are few of the running technologies that would help you, get things on a high tech note. Sometimes, it is not just only about, taking the autocad basic courses but also using the highest form of trending technologies in your work as well. 1. Self-healing Concrete Nobody can deny the importance of cement to be used in the industry. But making sure, this cement usage is not impacting global environment, also has to be the necessary thing to be taken care of. Cracking has been one of the major problems, when it comes to cement. Of course the use of cement cannot be avoided but there can be some amazing strategies to help overcome this cracking problem.
Talks are going on to bring a bacteria that would be encapsulated helping to heal as soon as the crack appears. Thus, as there comes up a crack in the cement, the auto healing, encapsulated bacteria in the cement helps in regeneration of material to solidify the crack again. 2. Thermal Bridging Talking about the highway drawings autocad or the need to keep buildings safe from the thermal effect, technology has to be involved. Talks are going on about using the aerosol technology that would be a better idea to block the flow of the heat. This way, the process of thermal bridging or the way to cut off the heat from entering buildings, is a good way to work for. This way the thermal resistance of the buildings can be made efficient up to 40%. 3. Kinetic Footfall Using something that is available in plenty to harness electricity is one of the greatest thoughts, so far. One such example is of using the kinetic energy in the footsteps of people. This is done in a way that the places that are targeted are the ones that have high amount of traffic or people showing movement, on that site. The football pitch of Rio de Janeiro, is been lit up by using the kinetic energy harnessed by the foot movements of the people, crossing by. 4. Photovoltaic Glaze Technology in civil engineering techniques, now make a way for thinking of buildings that are self-sufficient in generating or harnessing their own electricity. This can be done with the help of using the photovoltaic glass as the construction material that could be used in buildings glasses and the window panes. The material helps in absorbing the energy running in the building via sun, Thus it is a whole component of solar structure, this helps in making sure, the solar energy is harnessed to bring out the needs of electricity to be met well. These all technologies covered above, may or may not be covered in the highway engineering courses. But one thing is for sure, civil engineering technology, has come very far! It is time to get new technologies and techniques, to be involved in the working.
