A Civil Engineer that must know and obey.  Site Management: First of all I would say site management, because engineers have to handle people from Ordinary Labor to Consultants, Clients, Management and various government non-government organizations. The more efficiently they can handle these tasks, the faster they can perform tasks accurately. Good knowledge of drawing: We read Polytechnic "Drawing is the mother language of an engineer", that is, drawing is not an option. Drawing is the language of an engineer, as successful as he is in the skilled work area. If a drawing idea is not a good idea, you should catch the foreman as the contractor has to call the boss !! Keep in mind that this ignorance will make everything dusty, so you need to study drawing more often. You can get the help of someone senior or the internet if needed. Knowing Estimates: This is very important for a civil engineer, always keep in mind that Estimates will

                                                                   Soil tests Soil tests are essential in designing the right foundation and determining the right cost or cost. It is important to know that the foundation design of a house is not possible without a soil test at the construction site. Soil testing must be done in the construction of any low ground or filled soil. Soil Testing Methods at Site: . 1To inspect and survey the site or plot. 2. Select the boring number and location according to the field conditions and complete the boring task accordingly. 3. Determine the boring depth as needed. 4. Collecting intact and scattered samples of soil at each boring site and testing in the laboratory. 5. Determine the SPT value of the soil at 8 feet with boring or drilling and find out the safe bearing capacity of the soil. 6. Field test and lab test results. 7. Finally, prepare a final report on the soil test and comment on the foundation of the house accordingly. Boring placement

Some structural ideas needed by a site engineer Keep sharing. A Site Engineer has a lot of structural ideas. Likewise, some of the structural issues were shared. If you have an opinion on a piece of information you can share in the comments. Shear Key in Column: The shear key is kept at the construction joint (especially in the column) for two main reasons Shear Resistance of 3 Column to Increase Capacity Displacement within the Adjacent Segment of the 4 columns to minimize the risk. ✅Shear Key is usually kept at a depth of 2 "to 4", so keep in mind that the hole is well # cleared before the next molding. ✅ It would be best if the hole is covered with polythene the next day after welding so that it can be easily removed. Column Casting Height: In many cases, the contractor is casting a Full Height Column to finish the job in a timely manner, which is not a requirement at all. In this case, you must cast columns in two or more elevators, which can happen if you do not ✅ Void o
