Hello everyone, its a new site in the field of engineering for Nepal and this is my first blog.This blog is specially made to spread the knowledge of engineering .Many of us, who have pursued studies in civil engineering would like to read time and again about various civil engineering topics. Since, it is not always possible to turn the pages of book and want to explore the knowledge in internet with more illustrations, I thought it would be handy for your studies . I will be posting continuously about engineering materials and the different projects that I will be working on.Thank you and welcome again to my blog. 😌😌😌
