TOOLS, MACHINERY AND MATERIALS NEEDED IN CIVIL ENGINEERING:

Civil engineers build structures such as bridges, roads and waterways, and for that they need to rely on very precise tools and know how to properly handle them. Without technology and state of the tools, materials and the most advanced construction vehicles, building structures would not be so sure. Civil engineers are based on the following tools to make your work easier and more efficient.

TOOLS

·         alcotana

·         chisel

·         I chisel.

·         Fisurómetro

·         Cable cat

·         electric Stapler

·         Llana

·         Pot (tool)

·         mallet

·         shovel

·         Trowel

·         Pico (tool)

·         Nail gun

·         plummet

·         Pointer stonemason

·         Scraper

HEAVY MACHINERY

Under the name of construction machinery group of machines used in construction activities in order to remove some of the soil layer, so as to modify the profile of the earth according to project requirements include specific engineering.

Example of some heavy machinery:

·         Hydraulic excavator

·         Crawler Tractor ("bulldozer")

·         backhoe

·         Scraper or scraper

·         Grader

·         cylinder Compactor

·         dredge

·         Tipper

MATERIALS:

Type

Considering the raw material used for manufacturing, building materials can be classified into several groups:

Sand

Sand is used as part of mortars and concretes

• Arena:

• Glass,

• Fiberglass

• (GRC, GRP)

• Cellular glass
