Difference between architecture and civil engineering:

 Here I am discussing major differences between architecture and civil engineering, they are as follows:

1) When we talk about duration of course, then

• Civil engineering- 4 years
• Architecture- 5 years

2) Responsibility:

•  civil engineer: construction of road bridges and tunnels buildings Railway’s airport’s underpasses, etc.
• Architect: design buildings, monuments, bridges with a more aesthetical view.

3) Most important parameter:

• Civil engineer: the strength of the structure is a more important aspect for civil engineer
• Architect: an architect give more importance to an aesthetical appearance of the structure

4) Eligibility criteria:

• Civil engineering: HSC (physics, chemistry and maths subject) with at least 50% marks and IIT, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted each year for the admission of civil engineering course.
• Architecture: HSC( physics, chemistry, math) with at least 50% marks and NATA, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted for admission to architecture course.

5) Focused Area:

• Civil engineering- civil engineering field is mainly dealing with the mathematical and scientific aspects of the structure. construction and design, parameters are included in civil engineering
• Architecture- architecture deals with the down look and artistic aspect of designing a building

Jamb and corbel are two different technical terms used in masonry.

The difference in between jam and corbel are discussed below;

1) Definition:

• Jamb– A finished vertical sides of the opening of Window or door is called as a jamb.
• corbel- A supporting a stone projecting outside from the wall is called a corbel.

2) Function:

• Jamb– jamb is provided at the recess to receive the frames of doors and frames of Windows
• Corbel– corbel is provided to give support to joist, truss and weather shed.

• Jamb has two types:

1. Plane jamb
2. Splayed jamb

• Mostly Corbel is moulded to give ornamental treatment to the structure.
• The corbel should be extended at least two-thirds of their length into the wall hence they can’t overturn out of the wall.
