There are so many research areas in Civil Engineering. Choose according to your area of interest. Here, I am mentioning some of current research areas :-
Crane is a lifting machine which is used to lift the material and move them from one place to other. Different types of cranes are jib crane, tower crane, crawler crane, floating cranes etc. Featured Links. Fixed Beam Calculator New. Fixed end moment, bending moment & reaction calculation for fixed beam. Moment of Inertia calculator New.

Whatever topic you want to purse must be according to your area of interest, guideness, resources available.
It has been seen that it is very difficult to adopt any new innovations in Construction Industry especially in India.
When we talk about Construction of Residential Buildings it has been observed that the the variation in cost could be matter a lot. When final estimation sanctioned and at the time of execution it seen that 3 factors affect this capital :
- MATERIAL ( Variation of cost would be 55 to 65%)
- MANPOWER ( Variation of cost would be 25 to 35%)
- EQUIPMENT ( Variation of cost would be 10 to 15%)
Note: Above is the condition in case of Residential Buildings only.
This suggests that every project needs a Good Decision.
Suppose, if you have :
- Sufficient Captial for Project.
- Sufficient Space for equipments etc.
- But there is Time constraints.
Now the Question is what method of formwork Do You Use? To complete your project.
Now a days less number of companies Using Mivan Formwork. It comes from Malaysian Company.
Is this Case we can use this method. This is method you can cast one floor at a time as single unit. Less thickness of Concrete wall made that increases the carpet area. It is made of Aluminum so obviously it is less weight and easy to handle and in this method there is no wastage of materials, this formwork made a air tight casement so no league of concrete is possible.
So, what i thought, in India, near in 2 to 3 years every company will adopt this technique.
Edit 1: Someone are thinking that it a Old technique. My simple Question is that Is there any company in India presently using Robotic Technology or Nano Technology ? As both are invented before independence only. Just read my first sentence of this answer and comment accordingly.
Edit 2: Just think Which formwork is best and why? If you have 3 options Timber Formwork, Steel Formwork and Aluminum Formwork. Now, when i said Aluminum Formwork, so is it that Aluminum Formwork is nothing but Mivan Formwork?
Note: Every Mivan is a Aluminum formwork but every Aluminum Formwork is not Mivan.
