Technology In Civil Stream

Urbanization, habitat, environment, infrastructure and sustainability are major global challenges of the 21st century. By planning, exploiting of resources, building, and maintaining, civil engineers and relevant adjacent disciplines have been carrying a large responsibility for the existing environmental problems. Civil engineers are responsible for 70% of all material uses in the world, and civil construction has been dominating the growth of the developing world for the next decades, with enormous impact on the global climate as well as the distribution of wealth and quality of living in the world. Today a variety of sustainable construction concepts have been developed and discussed. Recently a UNEP report was published, which provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and potentials in the future from a scientific and industrial point of view. Sustainable solutions based on abundantly available resources (pozzolana and clay) or on renewable instead of limited industrial by-products (e.g. agricultural waste ashes) and new construction technologies do exist. By applying, promoting and developing the implementation of the existing knowledge into real life constructions, civil engineers also hold the key for the mitigation of the global challenges. Using best practice sustainable construction solutions is particularly of highest importance in the developing world, since the implementation at an early stage creates the highest leverage for positive effects.

Throughout the centuries, human society has followed an adventurous, uphill, but fruitful course of development. During this course, one of the most useful – and used – tools in the service of human communities has been civil engineering, along with architecture, which goes hand in hand with. Conducting, designing, creating, innovating, achieving great works in infrastructure and construction of buildings, it has turned out to be a “civilization machine” . It has, literally and metaphorically, constructed the background of each and every human civilization that has appeared and evolved on earth. Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians, Chinese, and so many others along the human history, have prevailed for long on their grounds and the surrounding areas due to the not only impressive but also useful structures they achieved in creating – thus giving a boost in the progress of their civilizations.

Civil engineering is poised to undergo major transition in 2018; thanks to the advancement in technology which is the driving force behind the changes this industry will witness. Some of the latest technologies we cover in this write-up which were once dubbed sci-fi have already begun finding a way into the mainstream industry. Since the last decade, the focus remained on smart materials and energy-efficient buildings. But, in recent times, civil engineers are placing more emphasis on computer vision, BIM, virtual reality, sustainability, IoT, and 3D printing technologies that are parallelly gaining prominence. In this write-up, we provide a mash-up of latest developments in civil engineering that are becoming latest trends.

IoT – Internet Of Things being a common platform

All the technical education students , youth entrepreneurs , project developers may be aware about the subject namely as ‘ IoT – Internet Of Things ‘.

What is IoT ?

What Google Says - The Internet of things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

What I Say – IoT i.e. Internet Of Things is a concept which can be used to connect the hardware components to network or in simple words IoT is used for connecting hardware components through internet.

IoT is being a platform for all the developers who develop basic or complex coding of projects such as Security Systems , Hardware Software Interface , Smart Systems , etc. But as technology is getting updated day by day the newest one becomes older within few days. As far as concern many of the smart systems developed now-a-days are being developed using the concept of IoT. In security system many of smart systems such as smart dustbin systems , IoT based trash monitoring , smart lock system , home automation are developed using concept of IoT and are used as a smart system in smart cities. Now-a-days many of the Builders / Construction Management Architect / Building Developer in Civil Stream uses smart automation systems , smart door lock , smart lockers , smart telecaller , smart lift systems , smart parking systems in building and most of these concepts are build and developed using concept of IoT i.e. Internet of Things. In this blog we have tried to describe that IoT – Internet of Things is getting outdated day by day and new technologies such as IoE , Blockchain are upcoming technologies in the Market of Technology .

Many of the project developers and analysts uses hardware components like arduino , raspberry pi , nodemcu , various types of IC's , sensors , etc. These all hardware components can be get connected to the network and report to the main system using concept of IoT.

In the blog I've given some basic information and simple meaning / definition of IoT - Internet of Things. But have anyone thought about why I've mentioned that IoT is being a common platform now-a-days ? Yes I've mentioned it because now-a-days many of the " UG & PG students ( Under Graduation & Post Graduation students ) uses concept of IoT to develop mini projects such as IoT based trash monitoring system , IoT based door security system , IoT based light control system , IoT based security systems & many more such things " , But IoT being a concept is getting very common now-a-days can be proved by this statement. Also new technologies , concepts such as Blockchain and IoM are getting introduced in the Market of Technology. In our next technical blog we will give information about Blockchain Concept as well as we will try to describe some projects which are developed using Blockchain Concept. " Till Then Take Care "
