The difference between MAP & PLAN are as follows ;

MAP : Generally, MAP is said to be a visual representation of an area. It can also be said as a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes. Map contains a lot of information. It shows only the important features of the area.

PLAN : PLAN are a set of two-dimensional diagrams or drawings used to describe a place or an object, or to communicate building or fabrication instructions. In plan details are given in form of symbols. Thus, it can show both length and breadth.

Civil engineering students should buy a laptop that provides the specific configurations which are required for civil engineering programs, softwares and applications. The laptop should have 4GB to 6GB RAM because advanced programming activities may require higher RAM. Students should choose the laptop which must allow upgrading for the best performance. The laptop should not be heavy because they need to carry it to many places. It should contain good quality display and sharpness. Laptop must be gaming laptop because it will be best to choose a laptop which provides the speed and configurations for playing games on laptop.

Some of the best laptop for civil engineers are mentioned below;

• CUK MSI GS65
• ASUS ViviBook K570UD
• ASUS TUF FX504
• Acer Predator Triton 300
• Acer Predator Helios 300
• Dell XPS
• ASUS ROG Strix Scar
• Acer Aspire E15
• HP Pavilion

Basically, the principle followed is the glucose catalytic principle. According to its formula, it belongs to the polyhydroxy group and its surface has strong polarity. This results in solid-liquid adsorption. Hence the molecular hydroxy group slows the hydration process by hindering the crystal contact and delays tricalcium silicate hydrate reaction.

Some of the functions of sugar in concrete are as follows;

• Increase in flowability and compactness.
• Retarding action on concrete.
• Reduction in hydration heat and temperature cracks.
• Increase in later strength of concrete.

Masonry building :

Masonry is the building of structures from individual units, which are often laid in and bound together by mortar. The term masonry can also refer to the units themselves. For masonry construction, the common materials are brick, building stones,etc. Masonry is highly durable form of construction.

Benefits of Masonry Buildings :

• Fire protection ; Fire protection benefits of concrete masonry are recognised by the Fire service and insurance industry. The extra ability to resist fire comes from the types of aggregates used and the equivalent solid thickness of the masonry units.
• Sound Control ; Masonry is an ideal sound barrier, providing reduced sound transmission relative to the size of the wall.
• Structural durability ; Masonry construction provides solidity, permanence and a real sense of substance.
• Energy efficiency ; The main benefit of masonry construction is the cost setting derived from its capacity to store energy and to delay the passage of heat.

Timber Buildings ;

Timber construction is a category of framing styles typically characterized by the use of large solid wood panels for wall, floor and roof constrution. It also includes innovative forms of sculptural buildings and non-building structures formed from solid wood panel or framing system.

Benefits of Timber Buildings ;

• Low embodied energy if constructed in local timber.
• Quick build time.
• Reduced time to weather the structure.
• It can be built to exceed 60 year design life.
• Low volume of waste on site requiring removal.
• Durable and easy to maintain.
