I'm not so civil in engineering a joke...

Puns joints modify the moments of the negative curvature on faces to bring a beam

  • Why was the slab mourning?
    It was carrying a dead load.
  • Why do complex numbers keep on falling down?
    They don’t have real roots.
  • Why don’t Newton’s equations for motion smile?
    They are modelling.
  • What did the aggregate say to the cement?
    I am fine.
  • What is the time when someone sits on a beam?
    A Bending moment
  • Why was the floor blushing?
    The ceiling had a beam
  • Why are pin joints so busy?
    Don’t even have a moment
  • Why do lawyers hate clay?
    Take long for settlements.
  • Why did the geotechnical engineer call the ambulance?
    The soil was at its critical state.
  • Why was the foundation sick?
    It had piles
  • Why did the civil engineer start playing music at the construction site?
    The piles were bored
  • Why did the river go to hell?
    It was dammed
  • What did the pile say to the engineer?
    Stop boring me
  • Why did the truss cry?
    It was dismembered.
  • How do we know loam soils are intelligent?
    They are highly graded.
  • What disease do reports suffer from?
    Appendix-itis
  • Why did the freezing researcher go to the abstract?
    It was summer-ary.
  • Why did Elizabeth dig a borehole?
    To figure out Darcy’s law
  • What was the weather in the atom?
    Cloudy with a chance of electrons.
  • What did the Geotech guy say to the borehole?
    Are you well?
  • What did the dissolving salt say?
    Don’t disturb, I am concentrating
  • Why did the fourier transform get hot flushes?
    Reached its menopause after so many periods…
  • Why did the slab go to jail?
    Too many load cases
  • Court to mathematician : Why do you want a divorce?
    Mathematician: Coz we just have a hyperbolic relationship
    Court: What?
    Mathematician: We never meet at ground 0
  • Where do reports get their existential crisis?
    In the abstract
  • What did the linear say to the cubic?
    “You’ve got nice curves”
  • A civil engineer walked into a bar, and died.
  • Why did e^x die in the market? It couldn’t be differentiated
  • What did the Taylor’s series say to the mathematician?
    “You’re deriving me crazy”
  • So why did Taylor get a speed ticket?
    He was deriving unlimited.
  • Why did w become y’s x?
    They just weren’t coordinates.

Don’t be uncivil… after all I did use Eurocode to prevent their structural failure but Brexit happened.

I’m an engineer who loves science too much to the chagrin of … no one. Interested in tech, books, the possibility of intelligent life on other planets, exploring Darwin and evolution, SpaceX, all while marvelling at the absurdity of existence and a Hothouse earth.
