Application of Remote Sensing in Civil Engineering
In civil engineering field there are many uses of remote sensing. Remote sensing provide a good view of the sites for civil projects. There are many projects where remote sensing proves a great asset for example: Housing, Sanitation, Power, Water supply, Disposal of Sewages, Urban growth, Irrigation project design and planning, Road alignment etc. the natural disasters which cause destruction. In that regions the RS can also be used to

It can soil to weaken and may other problems. But it is extremely difficult to keep an eye on that big area for problems. So its easiest solution is the use for satellite which can help us monitor the whole area very efficiently and if it is causing some problems we can do some solution before it cause serious damage.

In order to create international level cities, we need to know the growth of the population so that civil engineering can design the infrastructure that can withstand that much growth of cities for example, the Drainage, Utility services and transportation system. And for the development of urban regions, RS helps us make the growth models and help us to make plans for the land around cities.
It also helps in managing the resources of different towns or regions and use them to the best plans for the town
Natural resources: By using the satellite systems, we can find the natural resources very easily and with very less cost. For civil engineers, it is quite useful to find the location the construction material for example Rock, sand and clay in the region and use them then to deliver these materials from other regions which would increase the project cost.
Water engineering: When we make a dam it has great effect on the land and water levels of the region. So RS can be used to monitor the plantation and land water levels. It also helps to find the areas for the settlement of people whom villages had to be removed for the dam
(1994, 2004 and 2014). The RS imagery will be preprocess it in order to get a maximum accuracy. The preprocess mean will be ERDAS imagine software and possible GIS
Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.
The dust bowl was one of the most tragic event that ever happened in united states history it caused a lot of damage to a lot of states and impacted a lot of american lives. The dust bowl caused families to leave homes and families to go hunger on this tragic event. In april 18, 1935 a huge black cloud piled on western horizon which caused a big impact on people´s home. The dust bowl was mainly caused by drought,disappearing of a root system, And the mechanics of farming these are the main sources that caused the dust bowl and Impacted the tragic event towards american lives.
Heavy mechanisms have ruined the nation by cutting all the grass or most of the grass and that has kept the soil open. When the wind comes, it picks up the soil and when miles and miles of land’s grass has been cut by heavy mechanisms, the wind constantly picks up the soil and after many miles, the soil and dust is all over the air and causing havoc. The heavy mechs. Has helped the nation economically but has worsened us physically.
In chapter one, there is much emphasis on the economic impact of natural disasters. For
Preview Key Points - I'm going to tell you more about why the Red Cross is very helpful and why you should learn more about it. I will explain what they do to help. II. Body a. The Problem i. State idea clearly: The Problem is natural disaster happening throughout the world like for examples there are many fire, floods, earthquakes, tornados, explosions happening.
Like for example, the explosions causing many buildings and plantations to get destroyed and making it hard
Marino makes it known that understanding this relationship is essential in distinguishing how Shishmaref citizens have become a vulnerable community. In fact, these relationships along with historical conditions, influenced how residents in that specific community experienced disasters. In this section, the differences between a hazard and vulnerability are also highlighted to determine their interconnection with disasters; for a disaster to take place both must be present. Marino strategically follows up with chapter three to show the link between climate change, vulnerability, and disasters. The purpose of this chapter was to demonstrate how ecological changes can be contributed to the vulnerability of Shishmaref.
Set the accuracy of control points to 5 cm horizontal and 10 cm vertical which is the National standard accuracy required for control survey. Since the terrain was uneven increase the mask angle from 〖10〗^0 to 〖15〗^0 so that the reflected satellite signal from trees and other structures is received at the minimal amount. The mask angle increase is done to improve the satellite data quality. Since the data was recorded using 1 second
Desertification, Deforestation, soil depletion, and water contamination are among some of the consequences of agriculture. An agricultural boom often means that an over farming and an overproduction stage occurs. This result can be worse than the pre-food famine, because now no food is being produced. Water contamination from pesticides and
Public Space Observation Rachael Blouw Doctor Henderson World Urban Sociology For this project, I went to the University Center main lobby to observe people’s behavior. In this space, there are many people who were walking around, sitting at tables, and going to classes. This public area can be accessed by anyone for most of the day, except at night. I decided to sit toward the back of the lobby area, so I could watch everyone while they went about their business. I noticed several different behaviors between people.
Many people lose their livelihood, for e.g. farmers. These people will need to be compensated, which is usually costly. The cost depends on amount of compensation to be paid to the local people affected by erosion. Land Management Maintenance of sand dunes provide a natural defence against the sea.
Along with building and designing, civil engineers aldo analyze and plan projects, consider costs, perform soil testing to look at strength for the foundations going there, test materials, present their findings to the public, manage the repair of infrastructures. As you can tell, civil engineers do a lot more than just design and build the infrastructure. They have to consider everything else that goes into building it, such as the environment around it, the cost and all other safety
Very similar to real life engineering, we are tasked with designing and constructing various projects based on a set of requirements or problems. I have always been incredibly successful in this class achieving high marks, and in grade 11 receiving the award for the highest mark for my grade. Although not a prerequisite for any engineering programs, I believe that it greatly benefits all potential engineering students. It puts our teachings into practice to solve real life situations, giving us a preview into the future as engineers. Scheduling conflicts prevented me from taking this great course in grade 12.
Background Jakarta has a population of about 9.6 million people and in the last three decades, urban development of Jakarta has grown very rapidly in many sectors starting from industry, trade, and transportation until real estate. The increase in Jakarta’s population and urban development had cause several environmental problems including land subsidence. Land subsidence is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth 's surface owing to subsurface movement of earth materials. The level of soil in Jakarta is slowly degrading due to the disturbance of the soil consistency, and the water level in the soil is slowly decreasing, and now the sea level in Jakarta is higher than the ground level. In another word, Jakarta has been experiencing
