    Hi, In technical terms, the bracket is one of the overhanging members that enable projects from structures i.e walls, and are usually designed to support a vertical type of load or to any angle of strengthening.

    • Application

    brackets can structural atoms like walls balconies parapets,  eaves arches,  pergola, etc. In ancient days brackets are being developed a structural manner to give it a decorative purpose and in parallel used for support. In many ancient temples, sculptures of gods are decorated on bracket frames which are located on the exterior of walls. I mentioned this in a previous comment. The brackets are may be made up of stone, wood, steel I, cement, etc.

    There is not a simple answer to your question. It depends on what type of engineering you are studying. The best advice is to read some job advertisements for graduate engineering jobs. Note down what skills are requested. Some of these will be addressed by your engineering program. Other skills you can build on the side. These include communication and collaboration skills.

    Engineers spend 60% of their time communicating and <20% of their time doing technical stuff. Your engineering program will do a very good job of developing your technical skills but it’s the social skills of collaboration that will determine your ultimate success in the workplace. So, work hard at all those group projects. Figure out what it takes to get everyone engaged. One day, this will be a vital skill in your workplace.

    Adsorbed water

    The term ‘Adsorbed water’ as it applies to the area of reclamation can be defined as ‘ Water in a soil or rock mass, held by physico-chemical forces, having physical properties substantially different from absorbed water or chemically combined water, at the same temperature and pressure’.

    How affects the permeability :

    Fine particles of clay are surrounded by films of adsorbed water. Forces of adsorption and development of diffuse ion-layer around the clay particles create immobilized hydrodynamic layers of water, thereby reducing the effective pore space available for seepage.

    Here, positive and negative reinforcement directly relates to positive and negative bending in the member.

    Here, positive and negative reinforcement directly relates to positive and negative bending in the member. So wherever we anticipate postive bending or sagging in a member, we provide postive reinforcement and wherever we anticipate negative bending or hogging, we provide negative reinforcement. Most of the times these two may be the same bar.
