Civil Engineering Disciplines

This section deals with the civil engineering fields.As a Civil Engineer a vast world of imagination and dreams are opened to us.The Field of civil engineering is so vast that one cant limit itself to any particular field and excel without having a proper knowledge of other related fields.

To Conclude we can say that “Civil Engineering is a Renaissance field that requires the knowledge of many disciplines.

Below we have a list of disciplines one can choose from:

* Bridge Engineering

* Construction engineering

* Environmental engineering

* Fire protection engineering

* Geotechnical engineering

* General engineering

* Hydraulic engineering

* Materials science

* Piles Engineering

* Structural engineering

  • Muraya June 30, 2010 at 10:28 am

    I have a BSC in Civil Engineering from the University of Nairobi. I would like to know if there are internship opportunities for graduate engineers in your firm. If so, what are the requirements for one to qualify?
    Your assistance and response will be kindly received.
    Thank you in advance.

    i complete diploma in civil eng.
    i want to do B.E.civil
    but i confused select civil or architecture
    please reply me

    • abbas kazmi July 13, 2010 at 2:15 pm

      hi
      Riddhish i advice you if you like to work in office then you will do architectural engineering and if you will like to doing work in fied so do just B.E Civil

  • zeshan aslam July 12, 2010 at 1:31 pm

    hii;
    i feel so much proud to be a civil engineer. it is a great discipline.
    may my nation progress

    Specialization in Civil Engineeiring

    Specialization
    There are seven major disciplines within civil engineering that are closely interrelated:

    Structural

    As a structural engineer, you will face the challenge of designing structures that support their own weight and the loads they carry, and that resist wind, temperature, earthquake, and many other forces. Bridges, buildings, offshore structures, space platforms, amusement park rides, and many other kinds of projects are included within this exciting discipline. You will develop the appropriate combination of steel, concrete, timber, plastic, and new exotic materials. You will do
    the planning and design, as well as visit the project site to make sure the work is done properly.

    Environmental

    The skills of environmental engineers are becoming increasingly important as we attempt to protect the fragile resources of our planet. Environmental engineers translate physical, chemical, and biological processes into systems to destroy toxic substances, remove pollutants
    from water, reduce non-hazardous solid waste volumes, eliminate contaminates from the air,
    and develop groundwater supplies. In this field, you may be called upon to resolve issues of
    providing safe drinking water, cleaning up sites contaminated with hazardous materials,
    disposing of wastewater, and managing solid wastes.

    Geotechnical

    Geotechnical engineering is required in all aspects of civil engineering, because most projects
    are supported by the ground. As a geotechnical engineer, you might develop projects below
    ground, such as tunnels, foundations, and offshore platforms. You will analyze the properties
    of soil and rock that support and affect the behavior of these structures. You may evaluate the
    potential settlements of buildings, the stability of slopes and fills, the seepage of ground water
    and the effects of earthquakes. You will investigate the rocks and soils at a project site and
    determine the best way to support a structure in the ground. You may also take part in the
    design and construction of dams, embankments, and retaining walls.

    Water Resources

    Water is essential to our lives, and as a water resources engineer, you will deal with issueconcerning the quality and quantity of water. You will work to prevent floods, to supply water for cities, industry, and irrigation, to treat wastewater, to protect beaches, or to manage and redirect rivers. You might be involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of
    hydroelectric power facilities, canals, dams, pipelines, pumping stations, locks, or seaport facilities.

    Transportation

    Because the quality of a community I directly related to the quality of its transportation system,
    your function as a transportation engineer will be to move people, good, and materials safely
    and efficiently. Your challenge will be to find ways to meet our ever-increasing travel needs on
    land, air, and sea. You will design, construct, and maintain all types of transportation facilities,
    including highways, railroads, airfields, and ports. An important part of transportation
    engineering is to upgrade our transportation capability by improving traffic control and mass
    transit systems, and by introducing high-speed trains, people movers, and other new
    transportation methods.

    Construction

    As a construction engineer, you are the builder of our future. The construction phase of a project represents the first tangible result of design. Using your technical and management skills will allow you to turn designs into reality – on time and within budget. You will apply your knowledge of construction methods and equipment, along with the principles of financing, planning, and managing, to turn the designs of other engineers into successful projects.
