MESSAGE FROM THE
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT
Dr. Prachand Man Pradhan
Associate Professor and Head of Department
Department of Civil Engineering
Kathmandu University
As in the past, our Civil Engineering students have published the third issue of
the annual periodical ‘Civil Insight: A Technical Magazine’ through the
Kathmandu University Civil Engineering Club (KUCEC), Department of Civil
Engineering, Kathmandu University. I appreciate their noble initiation in
upgrading the quality of the magazine by providing a ‘Journal Format’ for the
technical section within the magazine. I see that the magazine is being
upgraded with every new issue, reflecting the progress.
I am thankful to the contributing authors and the well-wishers who have
supported for this magazine’s success as in the past, and expect their
continuous cooperation in the days to come. The articles are remarkable and
will be beneficial to the academics as well as the professional societies.
The Editorial Board of 2019 must be congratulated for their untiring effort in
bringing this edition. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the KUCEC
members, Sankalpa Committee 2019, Civil Engineering departmental faculties,
and all the authors who have supported this magazine in different ways.
This magazine has taken its shape also due to the generous gestures of the
sponsors, for which I am highly indebted. Their trust in us has encouraged us to
accelerate our motivation to reach greater heights. Further, I am sure that the
gap between the academia and industry will be bridged with strong bonds
through such collaborations.
Finally, I wish a grand success of Sankalpa‘19 program.
