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.
What will be the main ingrediant for Marine Structure’s concrete work ???
Cement 🙂
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
Is their is any replacement for coarse sand other than stone dust as availability of Coarse sand decreased in Up
Can anyone tell me how to become experienced without getting any job in India. Everyone ask for experienced but no one ready to recruit freshers without references. What should we do , I got 84% in b.tech. but not have reference. So I am unemployed. It’s shameful for me to do b.tech.
This Site is absolutely Useful for me…
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it’s very useful to me.
Thanks
Can you please help me choose a topic for my final project on water and soil
PLz share Steel Cureved plate design.
Pre-cast concrete of Over Head service reservoir
Such an interesting website for me as a future C.Engineer!
All your articles are very informative. As a civil engineering student, these articles are great resources for me.
its really interesting..it helps me a lot more to understand the wide engineering industry,…big thanks!,..AS A FUTURE ENGINEER I NEED THIS…
Send me your shape column tie cutting length how we find out
Y- Shape column tie cutting length how to find out
it’s really nice
why wet sieve analysis is required
wet sieve analysis is required for classification of soils. To know whether more than 50% passing through 75 microns or not. If more than 50% particles passing through 75 microns, we can call it as fine grained soils else coarse grained soils.
Please elaborate your question.
I want complete task wise details of WTP , raw water main pump and pumping distribution details .
During several years of experience I realized what civil engineering student learn in university is just a tiny part of necessary knowledge for this profession. Thank you for your website that provides good information
