  1. BASICS ELEMENTS OF CIVIL ENGINNERING Prepaid by: 140670106079 140670106047

  2. Civil Engineering is Everywhere • Civil Engineering is a composite of many specific disciplines. • Structural • Waste Treatment • Transportation • Geotechnical • Water Management • Construction Management 61% are clueless about engineering Why?

  3. Building Big!!!! Buildings & Structures: Cities Infrastructure: Transportation Culture: Art: Architecture The Future: Without Limit! Link: Building Big Site

  4. 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.

  5. Structural & Solid Mechanics • Structural engineers design steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as: • Tall buildings & towers, • Bridges, • Dams, • Retaining walls, & foundations, &. • Stadiums. Link: Mackinack Bridge Link: Chesepeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel

  6. 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.

  7. Transportation • Transportation Engineers design and analyze • Highways, • Railways, • Airports, • Urban and Suburban Road Networks, • Parking Lots, and • Traffic Control Signal Systems.

  8. Geotechnical & Soil 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. Link: A bad engineering job

  9. Hydraulics & Water Management • 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.

  10. Construction Management • 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.
