		<title>What is a Civil Engineer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in the design process, from the construction costs and expected lifetime of a project to government regulations and potential environmental hazards such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Civil engineering, considered one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Concrete coating in Hydro Power Plants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the various and complex building structures composing a hydro power plant project, it is not unusual that concrete (or steel) must be coated. Concrete must be coated in order to be waterproof or to provide high abrasive surface resistance. In certain case coating must be decorative coating. For instance, Inertol Poxitar F &#8211; 2 [...]]]></description>

		<title>History of Solar Energy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Humans have harnessed the power of the sun for millennia. In the ﬁfth century B.C., the Greeks took advantage of passive solar energy by designing their homes to capture the sun’s heat during the winter. Later, the Romans improved on solar architecture by covering south-facing windows with clear materials such as mica or glass, preventing [...]]]></description>
