Architectural engineering, also known as Building engineering, is the application of engineering principles and technology to building design and construction. Definitions of an architectural engineer may refer to Structural engineering involves the analysis and design of physical objects such as buildings, bridges, equipment supports, towers and walls. Those concentrating on buildings are responsible for the structural performance of a large part of the built environment and are, sometimes, informally referred to as "building engineers". Structural engineers require expertise in strength of materials and in the seismic design of structures covered by earthquake engineering. Architectural Engineers sometimes practice structural as one aspect of their designs; the structural discipline when practiced as a specialty works closely with architects and other engineering specialists. Mechanical and electrical engineers are specialists, commonly referred to as "MEP" (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) when engaged in the building design fields. Also known as "Building services engineering" in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.[1] Mechanical engineers design and oversee the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, and rain gutter systems. Plumbing designers often include design specifications for simple active fire protection systems, but for more complicated projects, fire protection engineers are often separately retained. Electrical engineers are responsible for the building's power distribution, telecommunication, fire alarm, signalization, lightning protection and control systems, as well as lighting systems. In many jurisdictions of the United States, the architectural engineer is a licensed engineering professional [2], usually a graduate of an architectural engineering university program preparing students to perform whole-building design in competition with architect-engineer teams; or for practice in one of structural, mechanical or electrical fields of building design, but with an appreciation of integrated architectural requirements.

1. Title Insurance and Land Title Surveys
November 05, 2009
The title insurance is an insurance policy which is bought from an insurance company at the time of buying a property or a real estate. The insurance company go through the history of the title or the property and clears that the real estate or property in question is legally clear to sell. In essence, the title insurance implies that the insurance company (issuing the title insurance) assures the purchaser that they back their research and willing to rectify any mistakes or discrepancies if subsequently found that the land should not have been sold first. It is mandatory requirement to obtai... (read more)

3. Nails: Essential Fixings in Building Projects
November 04, 2009
There are many kinds of nails out there. Each type of these fixings serves a different purpose in building.
It cannot be denied that the most essential and the most basic of through bolts is none other than the nail. There are so many kinds of nails out there and each kind serves a different purpose. Of all the through bolts designed by people for engineering, carpentry and many other uses, the nail is probably the most important.
As much as nails are versatile materials, you need to use the right kind of nail for whatever building purpose that you have. Here is a shortlist of th... (read more)

4. World's Most Environmentally Sound Building Opens
October 30, 2009
Elithis Tower in Dijon, FranceA French engineering firm has built what is being hailed as the world's most environmentally sound building, a structure that produces more energy than it consumes. The 10 story building is located in , and it is part of concerted effort to put the city on a sustainable energy path. The Elithis tower is a striking sight in the heart of Dijon's business district. Black, with a red metal skirt - which actually is a sun shield - it is sandwiched between the city's opera house and a hotel. But the tower is more than just another handsome landmark -- from the gr... (read more)

5. CAD Design
November 01, 2009
Automatic design systems (often briefly abbreviated as CAD) destine for drafting, creating construction and technological documentation and 3D models. CAD is mainly used for design of devices and all types of buildings and mechanical engineering. There are many branches where CAD design is used - architecture, building, and also mechanical, aviation, electrotechnical, motor-car industry. Increasing of CAD application in industry began at the end of 60th and significantly intensified due to appearance of powerful personal computers. At first it was used only for 2D modeling, then 3D modeling ... (read more)

8. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Structural Engineering
October 22, 2009
Traditionally structural processes begin with the architectural document set, be it paper or CAD-based. The structural engineering team interprets the architectural design to create an overall structural design and then create specialized analytical models, using different software applications for the multiple type of structural analysis required for the project, gravity, dynamic and wind analysis. In parallel, the structural drafters create yet another representation of the building in the construction process - creating multiple drawings of the same information.
This traditional workfl... (read more)
