RE: SCIENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Are theodolites still used?
I thought that these had already been replaced by some new, more modern measuring instrument.
I understand that with some satellite applications, it is possible to cover much of this planning and field study work. At least to mark the land dimensions (Cotas).
Yes, Theodolites is still being used, for us although some new (sophisticated) tools have been launched, we also have to refer to the basic tools (manual).
Hhmm.. It seems you also understand about civil engineering, great 👍👍 :)
Just a little.
It fascinates me to see how the branches of engineering interact in projects.
I consider that Mechanics fulfills the main function and looks like the queen among all the others. But without a solid base on well-rethought ground, mechanical structures would fall to the ground.
So the civilian will always set the tone.
Have a great day, dear friend.
In essence, a structure that lasts long depends on the strength of the structure and the durability of the soil.
Thank you also to you, have a nice day too
Everything consists in the perfect balancing of the loads.
