10 of the Largest Construction Projects in the World
#6. London Crossrail Project
The world's first underground train system continues to grow, adding 26 miles of tunnel that will eventually connect 40 stations. The estimated cost of construction is $23 billion. The project is scheduled for completion in phases, with the first new line—the Elizabeth line—expected to go into service in 2019, followed by the remaining lines.

Four Practice Exams for PE Civil
By Shawn (Shahriar) Jahanian, Ph.D, PE
Civil PE exams are usually offered in the following Disciplines: Transportation
Construction, Structure, Geotechnical Engineering and Water Resource and Environmental disciplines. Each discipline is divided to two areas of breadth and Depth. In this book four Style PE Civil Practice exam have been presented to prepare you for the breadth part of exam.

#7. High-Speed Railway, California
Work on California's high-speed train began in 2015 and is scheduled for completion in 2029. It will connect eight of the 10 largest cities in the state and reach from San Diego in the south to San Francisco in the north. The project will be completed in two phases: Phase 1 will connect Los Angeles to San Francisco; Phase 2 will extend connections to San Diego and Sacramento. The train will be 100-percent electric and will be powered entirely by renewable energy and capable of speeds up to 200 miles per hour.

These are Haunch bars which are generally used in RCC water retaining structures like water treatment plants, sewage treatment plant etc and also used in Box culverts to attain extra strength and resist the bending moment at supports. In Ground level reservoir, the water pressure at bottom is very high, hence to reduce the hoop tension the haunch bars are provided.

#8. Chuo Shinkansen, Japan
Officially called the Linear Chuo Shinkansen, Japan's newest high-speed rail line will take travelers from Tokyo to Nagoya—286 kilometers—in 40 minutes, at speeds up to 505 kilometers per hour. This leg of the high-speed journey is scheduled for completion by 2027. A later phase will extend the line to Osaka. About 86 percent of the Tokyo-Nagoya line will be underground, requiring extensive tunnel construction. This magnetic levitation (also known as "maglev") train is the fastest train in the world.

RAFT or MAT FOUNDATIONS
A raft foundation, also called a mat foundation, is essentially a
continuous slab resting on the soil that extends over the entire footprint
of the building, thereby supporting the building and transferring its
weight to the ground.
A raft foundation is also very good for basements. Foundations are
created by excavating soil in order to find strong, compact, undisturbed natural soil that is at least a few feet below ground level. This soil is much stronger than the loose soil at the surface. If we construct a raft foundation at say 10 feet below ground, and build concrete walls around
the periphery, this makes an excellent basement. Therefore, an engineer designing a building with a basement will tend to choose a raft
foundation over other types of foundations.
