Civil engineering has existed since ancient times when humans first began constructing shelters and buildings. Some of the earliest large constructions were pyramids and temples built by ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians as early as 4000 BC. Civilization advanced with improved construction techniques by Romans and others who built aqueducts, roads, and other infrastructure throughout their empires. Today, civil engineers design and build structures and systems that are essential to modern life such as roads, bridges, dams, irrigation works, water and waste systems, and more, improving public health and quality of life.

However, using recycled materials reduces waste and saves on costs and natural resource usage, making it a more sustainable construction material.
High strength concrete
As multistoreyed construction is the need of today, high strength concrete is going to replace normal concrete.
Bacterial concrete
Bacteria-based self-healing concrete uses dormant calcium-precipitating bacteria encapsulated during mixing. When cracks form and water enters, the bacteria activate, metabolize nutrients, and precipitate calcium carbonate to seal cracks. Testing shows bacterial concrete has higher strength and crack-healing ability compared to normal concrete. While increasing durability, applications in construction could lower costs and improve sustainability over time. Further research is still needed to optimize the technology for practical and economic feasibility at scale.

A Letter to myself!
Hi to myself!
Now that I am an Engineer with a certified degree, as an Engineer I aspire to do some wonderful
things for myself and society. As I studied the Civil Engineering and about the wonders that it
has created for the well being of the society and the world, it amused me and inpired me to
become an Engineer. I want to design the bridges, tunnels, skyscrappers and dams which
wouldn\'t fail and please to the eyes. In history we have seen the engineering disasters such as
the Tacoma Washington bridge disaster, in which the wind loads were ignored while designing.
We learned from such disasters and improved our bridge by incorporating the wind and other
loads such as earthquake loads. There has been a revolution in the Civil Engineering field since
the advent of the cement and reinforced concrete. Initially we could only design low strength
concrete but now with the help of the admixtures and air-entraining agents we can design a mix
of strength greater than 70 MPa.
Empire State Building was constructed in 1932 and remained the tallest skyscraper till 1967,
until we learn to create the taller structures. Now we know that Burj Khalifa is the tallest
standing structure in the world with a height almost double of that of Empire state building.
Empire state building is now at 9th in the ranking of the tallest structure. Similarl trends can be
observed in the design of the bridges, tunnels and dams.
What we learn from all this history is that, there is never a full stop to the impovement of the
design of the structures. In present world, we still have many problems, such as the
environmental issues related with the use and production of the cement, which is responsible for
the production of a large proportion of the green house gases. There is a need to find the better
alternative of the cement. We still can\'t construct the earthquake proof buildings, and there
always will be a need for improvement in this field. More than one million people die each year
in the road crashes, many of which occur due to the poor design and construction, there is a need
of the better Intelligent Traffic Systems(ITS.)
I see that there is a lot to be improved in the current engineering field, so I will find the best
opportunity to serve my techniques and skills to work in any of the abovementioned fields.
Thank You!

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
