Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that
deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and
naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams,
and buildings.
Civil engineering is arguably the oldest
engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment and can be dated to
the first time someone placed a roof over his or her head or laid a tree trunk
across a river to make it easier to get across.
The built environment encompasses much of what
defines modern civilization. Buildings and bridges are often the first
constructions that come to mind, as they are the most conspicuous creations of
structural engineering, one of civil engineering's major sub-disciplines.
Roads, railroads, subway systems, and airports are designed by transportation
engineers, another category of civil engineering. And then there are the less
visible creations of civil engineers. Every time you open a water faucet, you
expect water to come out, without thinking that civil engineers made it
possible. New York City has one of the world’s most impressive water supply
systems, receiving billions of gallons of high-quality water from the Catskills
over one hundred miles away. Similarly, not many people seem to worry about
what happens to the water after it has served its purposes. The old civil
engineering discipline of sanitary engineering has evolved into modern
environmental engineering of such significance that most academic departments
have changed their names to civil and environmental engineering.
These few examples illustrate that civil engineers
do a lot more than design buildings and bridges. They can be found in the
aerospace industry, designing jetliners and space stations; in the automotive
industry, perfecting the load-carrying capacity of a chassis and improving the crash worthiness of bumpers and doors; and they can be found in the ship
building industry, the power industry, and many other industries wherever
constructed facilities are involved. And they plan and oversee the construction
of these facilities as construction managers.
The best of
Civil Engineers is a group of Civil Engineers which are working in different
Industries. Some of us is in Railway Engineering, Designing Engineering,
Construction Engineering, Planning Engineering etc. So I decided to make a blog
for all the Civil Engineers in which you get all the information related to
Civil Engineering. If you have any query or any idea related to Civil
Engineering click here.
We will
share our best experience with you. No matter from which stream you are, the
thing that matter is you should be a best Civil Engineer because many lives
depends on you, someone's life is in your hands. If you make a mistake then you
will be responsible for all of them. So mistakes are not allowed in Civil
Engineering.
