Engineering is a term applied to the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied to the efficient use of the materials and forces of nature. Engineers are the ones who have received professional training in pure and applied science.Before the middle of the 18th century, large-scale construction work was usually placed in the hands of military engineers. Military engineering involved such work as the preparation of topographical maps, the location, design, and construction of roads and bridges; and the building of forts and docks; see Military Engineering below. In the 18th century, however, the term civil engineering came into use to describe engineering work that was performed by civilians for nonmilitary purposes.
Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. Civil engineering focuses on the infrastructure of the world which include Water works, Sewers, Dams, Power Plants, Transmission Towers/Lines, Railroads, Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, Irrigation Canals, River Navigation, Shipping Canals, Traffic Control, Mass Transit, Airport Runways, Terminals, Industrial Plant Buildings, Skyscrapers, etc. Among the important subdivisions of the field are construction engineering, irrigation engineering, transportation engineering, soils and foundation engineering, geodetic engineering, hydraulic engineering, and coastal and ocean engineering.
Civil engineers build the world’s infrastructure. In doing so, they quietly shape the history of nations around the world. Most people can not imagine life without the many contributions of civil engineers to the public’s health, safety and standard of living. Only by exploring civil engineering’s influence in shaping the world we know today, can we creatively envision the progress of our tomorrows.
Good site
nice website. good information
How will the soil compaction testing procedure differ if the soil particles susceptible to crushing under the degree of compaction applied during the test?
If we get compression strength of concrete 200% with in 7 days …. what we can do? what about the design?? is it acceptable or not??
very useful platform for civil engineers

frds
can any one direct me to design waffle slap
Could anyone please tell me if its advisable to use Cement fibre boards in partition walls or ceilings manufactured by Everest or Aerocon ( HIL ) for interiors or exteriors, especially in a place which has heavy rains and the atmosphere is moist. It’s urgent please
Thanks !
very helpful website for civil engg
PLz share Steel Cureved plate design.
