What is Civil Engineering????What is Civil Engineering????
Civil engineering is a composite of many specific disciplines.– Structural & solid mechanics.– Waste treatment &
environmental.– Transportation.– Geotechnical & soil mechanics.– Hydraulics & water management.– Construction management.
Structural & Structural & Solid MechanicsSolid Mechanics
Structural engineers design steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as:– Tall buildings & towers,– Bridges,– Dams,– Retaining walls, &
foundations, &.– Stadiums.Link: Mackinack BridgeLink: Chesepeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel
Waste Treatment & Environmental.Waste Treatment & Environmental.
Wastewater treatment engineers are civil or environmental engineers trained to design or analyze water treatment plants.
Water treatment plants are categorized as follows:– Sanitary waste treatment
facilities,– Industrial waste treatment
facilities,– Potable (drinking) water
treatment facility.
TransportationTransportation
Transportation Engineers design and analyze – Highways, – Railways, – Airports, – Urban and Suburban Road
Networks,– Parking Lots, and – Traffic Control Signal
Systems.
Geotechnical & Geotechnical & Soil MechanicsSoil Mechanics
Geotechnical Engineers analyze the subterranean rock and soil to determine its suitability to support extreme loads.
Proper geotechnical engineering is essential for a safe and secure structure.

Hydraulics & Water Hydraulics & Water ManagementManagement
Water management involves the use of hydrologic and hydraulic principles to design:– Drainage systems, – Detention/retention ponds, – Navigational waterways,
and– Flood control levees, dams,
and lakes.
Construction Construction ManagementManagement
Construction managers:– Review contracts,– Order materials,– Hire and schedule sub-
contractors.
The job of a construction manager is to:– Provide quality control and
insure project is completed on time and.
– Within budget.
