A low ­carbon future through sector ­led change

In India, a sector-led, action-based approach could provide the framework to drive low-carbon transformation. In the build-up to the 'Leaders' climate summit organized by the united states this week (April 22-23), there has been a flurry of articles about whether India should announce a net-zero' emissions target, and by when. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) 1.5°C report called for global carbon emissions to reach net-zero by 2050, which the pressure cooker of climate diplomacy has quickly transformed diplomacy has quickly transformed into a call for all countries to announce 2050 as the net-zero target year. Yet, global net-zero may require some countries to reach net-zero before 2050 for others to have some additional time. Since a disproportionate share of the carbon space has been used up by developed countries, they must act boldly at home, to match the vigor of their diplomatic efforts. Nonetheless, as a climate-vulnerable country, India must also...

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering   Structural engineering is one of the many fields involved in civil engineering . They have the responsibility of designing buildings and machinery. Through continuous training in the very latest technologies, structural engineers are at the cutting edge of the design world. Engineering services clients range from the private to the public sector, and provide design and detailing of all types of structures. Structural Engineers: Structural engineers specialize in the design and analysis of any structure like a dam, bridges, buildings, towers, flyovers (overpasses), tunnels, microstructure, and other structures.  At any time there are adjustments or repairs completed to existing construction or framing for further space, an engineer will be part of the image. They are responsible for designing floors, roofs, columns, and beams. They are also responsible for determining how energy, heat, and moisture will interact within the building and its materials....

Geotechnical Engineering | Biological considerations in Geotechnical Engineering

Image
Geotechnical Engineering We all know that Geotechnical Engineering is a field of civil engineering which focuses on analyzing the geotechnical behaviors of soil and rocks. Usually, this type of engineering is involved in construction projects.  Engineers and Geotech engineering consultants will need to collect samples of the soil where a building or a structure is to be constructed. After having collected the soil samples, they will then analyze it in order to know if it is cohesive or not, and if the ground is stable or not. The ground needs to be stable in order for the structure to be built otherwise it might just collapse. However, these aren't just the things you need to know about Geotechnical Engineering . There are certain considerations that are involved. The understanding of the soil's behavior for the past 300 years has been centered on the mechanical principles and geological processes.  Later on, it involved mineralogy and the relevance of colloidal chemistry. A...
