CAN ANY ONE TELL???PLZ...
1.what is the work of civil engineers in rocket launch stations?
2.What are the structures need to be designed at rocket launch stations

    When I played IGI 2 game PC. Then I got good knowledge on Rocket lunch station, if you found any constructional structure, that Applications of Civil Engineers.

    The base has to stand the all up weight of the fully loaded vehicle without yielding. Till lift off substantial forces and temperatures result from the exhaust. The structure has to withstand that.
    Centrifuges for training astronauts are large structures with very tight dimensional tolerances of the order of 1mm on huge diameters. This requires very special construction and finishing processes. My close friend was the civil engineering chief at ISRO. He used to relate the problems faced by him.

    sir in college can in do a design project about this rocket launch station is it tough to design it??

    I am not an expert in this. May this point will give you an idea.
    For launch the rocket, they must need the help of civil engineers. The following could be the work for civil engineers
    1. The Framed steel structure is required, which hold the rocket before it launch.
    2. The structure has to be protected from intense heat and the force generated by the rocket during liftoff.
    3. Connection design: All the joints are specially designed for the sudden load.
    4. Foundation design: For the column baseplate connection.

    What kind of steel will be used and does ISRO reveal some information about that ?

    I think this is no exact IS codal provison for design such stuff.
