Civil Engineering Construction Design and Management

Description

Civil engineering mainly focuses on the design, construction and maintenance of everything from buildings and roads to pipelines and power plants. Civil engineers plan and design various infrastructure that is required or needed to develop and maintain facilities, services and organisational structures for cities and communities. For this, they quietly shape the history of nations around the world. Many people can not even imagine life without the varied contributions done by civil engineers to the public‘s health, safety and standard of living.
Construction engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and management of infrastructures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and utilities. These Engineers are unique such that they are a cross between civil engineers and construction managers. Construction engineers learn the designing aspect much like civil engineers and construction site management functions much like construction managers.
This book covers all aspects of civil engineering and its role in society. It covers a range of various civil engineering disciplines such as general engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, environmental engineering, planning engineering, hydraulic engineering, construction engineering, materials science, surveying and urban engineering. The text contains everything that engineering faculty and students, as well as fresh engineers commencing their career in the field need know about the subject.
