  • Garbage In The Home
    677 words
    There are already ways of getting rid of garbage so people won't have to see it or smell it. For example there is incineration, in which trash that can't be recycled is burned. Although this meets the requirements mentioned above it has a downside. The burning itself causes waste and eventually it will have a bad effect on the environment. Recycling is a good process that reuses materials so they won't be wasted and cause waste. But many products are not recyclable, like plastics. There are a nu...

  • Characteristic Of Every Material Under Various Forces
    561 words
    Different shapes resist forces in different ways, so as every material withstands forces differently. To design a good and safe bridge, an engineer must know the forces in every member of the bridge. In turn, he must choose the appropriate material for that member, or for all members. He must know the characteristic of every material under various forces which may occur on the bridge. For example, should he choose concrete or stone for the pier and abutment? Is it steel instead of concrete which...
