There are many texts on pile foundations. Generally, experience shows us that undergraduates find most of these texts complicated and difficult to understand. This guide has extracted the main points and puts together the whole process of pile foundation design in a student friendly manner. The guide is presented in two versions: text-version (compendium from)

The project is to introduce Precast Super-Tee (U-shaped) curved girders as a substitute for straight girders currently in use for precast curved bridge spans. Typically in Pakistan the use of straight girders for curved bridge spans results in poor aesthetics, problematic construction and complex design. It is intended to ensure safe casting, pre-stressing and launching

Structural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz., Slabs, Beams, Columns and Footings. In order to design them, it is important to first obtain the plan of the particular building. Thereby depending on the suitability;
Basic Civil Engineering is designed to enrich the preliminary conceptual knowledge about civil engineering to the students of non-civil branches of engineering. The coverage includes materials for construction, building construction, basic surveying and other major topics like environmental engineering, geo-technical engineering, transport traffic & urban engineering, irrigation and water supply engineering and CAD.

There is a fundamental dierence between science and and technology. Engineering or technology is the making of things that did not previously exist, whereas science is the discov- ering of things that have long existed. Technological results are forms that exist only because people want to make them, whereas scientic results are informations of what
