Engineering Drawing/ graphic tools

 Engineering Drawing/graphic tools

Drawing is the language of engineers. Thousands (1000) of words cannot describe a part correctly which a single drawing represents accurately. Ideas of engineers are recorded by preparing a drawing, and execution of work is also carried out on basics of drawings. Communication of engineers is done with the help of drawings. Like music, drawing is an universal language of the engineering world.


Drawing instruments are used to prepare drawings easily and accurately. The accuracy of drawings depends on the quality of instruments. Desirable accuracy is only possible with quality instruments. It is therefore necessary to obtain the instruments of superior quality.

Climate Change and Los Angeles Wildfires

  Climate Change and Los Angeles Wildfires: A Growing Crisis Wildfires in Los Angeles have become more frequent and destructive, largely driven by climate change. Rising global temperatures, prolonged droughts, and extreme weather events are fueling this escalating problem, posing serious risks to people, property, and the environment. How Climate Change Fuels Los Angeles Wildfires 1. Rising Temperatures Climate change has led to higher temperatures, creating hotter and drier conditions. These extreme conditions dry out vegetation, turning it into flammable fuel for wildfires. 2. Longer Fire Seasons California’s wildfire season now spans almost the entire year. This extended season is caused by earlier snowmelt, reduced rainfall, and prolonged dry spells due to climate change. 3. Drought and Vegetation Stress Persistent droughts in Los Angeles weaken vegetation, making it more susceptible to fires. Climate change exacerbates these droughts, increasing wildfire risks. 4. Extreme Wea...

A organic material manure

 An organic material used as a natural fertilizer to enrich the nutrients of soil and promote plant growth is Manure.  It primarily or mainly consists of animal waste (like cow dung, horse manure, poultry droppings) mixed with bedding materials such as straw or hay. Manure provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the soil, improving its fertility and structure. Types of Manure:__ 1. Green Manure: This type of manure is made by growing and plowing under specific plants (e.g., legumes) to improve soil fertility. 2. Animal Manure: This kind of manure is produced from livestock waste, commonly used in farming. 3. Compost Manure: This kind of manure is made by decomposing organic household and garden waste into nutrient-rich humus. Benefits of Manure are as follows:__ __It enhances structure of soil by improving aeration and drainage. __It provides essential nutrients for plant growth. __It encourages microbial activity in the soil, making nutr...

Indian standard code for civil engineering

What are IS Codes for Civil Engineering? IS codes, also known as Indian Standard codes, are a collection of standards formulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for diverse aspects of civil engineering. These codes offer guidelines, specifications, and safety prerequisites for construction materials, design parameters, testing techniques, and construction practices. They serve as a reference to guarantee consistency, safety, and excellence in civil engineering projects throughout India. List of IS Codes for Civil Engineering IS Code for Cement and Concrete IS 269:1989: Ordinary Portland cement, OPC 33 IS 383:1970: Coarse and Fine aggregates from natural sources for concrete IS 455:1989: Portland slag cement IS 456:2000: Code of practice for plain concrete and reinforced concrete (PCC and RCC) IS  code >>> read more
