- 5. A surface loading in addition to the soil load behind a retaining wall.
- 7. A beam which is securely supported at one end, and hangs freely at the other; an overhanging beam.
- 9. The portion of the external wall between the level of the street and the level of the floor first above the street.
- 11. Action of sun and rain on structures or soils.
- 14. This civil engineering subject teaches you how to design shapes while making sure what you create is environmentally friendly and stable.
- 21. Engineering defining the soil’s deformation properties and strength.
- 22. A structural member that is used to support weight, typically in a building or bridge.
- 23. A type of construction that uses bricks, stones, or concrete blocks to create walls or other structures.
- 24. A type of material used in construction that is made by mixing cement, sand, and water....
- 25. The moisture content at the point between the liquid and the plastic states of a clay.
- 26. A strong metal which is a mixture of iron and carbon, and which is used for making things which need a strong structure, especially vehicles and buildings.
- 27. A material that is used to construct roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces.
- 28. Road construction material that is made from a mixture of gravel, sand, and cement.
- 29. A drawing or set of drawings showing how a building or product is to be made and how it will work and look
