It is also called an “overpass.”  In order to prevent traffic congestion below, flyovers are constructed to allow for safe passage over obstacles. A road, highway, or railroad may be required for the passage. A bridge […]

Although this traditional approach, known as the bottom-up approach, is straightforward in design and execution, it is not practical for projects with limited […]

Domes do not need any internal support and can cover a great area while using very little quantity of material. Domes originated from arches and were initially only used for small buildings such as huts and […]
