In Civil Engineering, there’s something called Structural analysis, where we analyze a structure to know the moments (or forces) acting at various points of the structure. Analyzing and knowing the forces acting on the structure makes it easy to design it to withstand those forces and keep the structure safe. Similarly, if you want to …
We human beings love variety. From trivial things like choosing a garment to cardinal things like choosing a life partner (I’m talking about arranged marriages), we always need a lot of options to choose from.

It’s natural for the human brain to procrastinate on things that matter. This post guides you to get them done
The field of Civil Engineering is an interesting one. Before studying the design of any structural component, one has to first study the different modes by which the structure might fail. Once the failure modes are learned, structural engineers design the structure to avoid such failures. We need to adopt the same strategy in our …
