Civil Engineering Disciplines

This section deals with the civil engineering fields.As a Civil Engineer a vast world of imagination and dreams are opened to us.The Field of civil engineering is so vast that one cant limit itself to any particular field and excel without having a proper knowledge of other related fields.

To Conclude we can say that “Civil Engineering is a Renaissance field that requires the knowledge of many disciplines.

Below we have a list of disciplines one can choose from:

* Bridge Engineering

* Construction engineering

* Environmental engineering

* Fire protection engineering

* Geotechnical engineering

* General engineering

* Hydraulic engineering

* Materials science

* Piles Engineering

* Structural engineering

* Surveying

* Timber Engineering

* Transportation engineering

* Water resources engineering

can u send me about all the spesilizations of civil engineering group please

Muraya says:

I have a BSC in Civil Engineering from the University of Nairobi. I would like to know if there are internship opportunities for graduate engineers in your firm. If so, what are the requirements for one to qualify?
Your assistance and response will be kindly received.
Thank you in advance.

riddhish baldha says:

i complete diploma in civil eng.
i want to do B.E.civil
but i confused select civil or architecture
please reply me

abbas kazmi says:

hi
Riddhish i advice you if you like to work in office then you will do architectural engineering and if you will like to doing work in fied so do just B.E Civil

zeshan aslam says:

hii;
i feel so much proud to be a civil engineer. it is a great discipline.
may my nation progress

Specialization in Civil Engineeiring

Specialization
There are seven major disciplines within civil engineering that are closely interrelated:

Structural

As a structural engineer, you will face the challenge of designing structures that support their own weight and the loads they carry, and that resist wind, temperature, earthquake, and many other forces. Bridges, buildings, offshore structures, space platforms, amusement park rides, and many other kinds of projects are included within this exciting discipline. You will develop the appropriate combination of steel, concrete, timber, plastic, and new exotic materials. You will do
the planning and design, as well as visit the project site to make sure the work is done properly.

Environmental

The skills of environmental engineers are becoming increasingly important as we attempt to protect the fragile resources of our planet. Environmental engineers translate physical, chemical, and biological processes into systems to destroy toxic substances, remove pollutants
from water, reduce non-hazardous solid waste volumes, eliminate contaminates from the air,
and develop groundwater supplies. In this field, you may be called upon to resolve issues of
providing safe drinking water, cleaning up sites contaminated with hazardous materials,
disposing of wastewater, and managing solid wastes.

Geotechnical

Geotechnical engineering is required in all aspects of civil engineering, because most projects
are supported by the ground. As a geotechnical engineer, you might develop projects below
ground, such as tunnels, foundations, and offshore platforms. You will analyze the properties
of soil and rock that support and affect the behavior of these structures. You may evaluate the
potential settlements of buildings, the stability of slopes and fills, the seepage of ground water
and the effects of earthquakes. You will investigate the rocks and soils at a project site and
determine the best way to support a structure in the ground. You may also take part in the
design and construction of dams, embankments, and retaining walls.

Water Resources

Water is essential to our lives, and as a water resources engineer, you will deal with issueconcerning the quality and quantity of water. You will work to prevent floods, to supply water for cities, industry, and irrigation, to treat wastewater, to protect beaches, or to manage and redirect rivers. You might be involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of
hydroelectric power facilities, canals, dams, pipelines, pumping stations, locks, or seaport facilities.

Transportation

Because the quality of a community I directly related to the quality of its transportation system,
your function as a transportation engineer will be to move people, good, and materials safely
and efficiently. Your challenge will be to find ways to meet our ever-increasing travel needs on
land, air, and sea. You will design, construct, and maintain all types of transportation facilities,
including highways, railroads, airfields, and ports. An important part of transportation
engineering is to upgrade our transportation capability by improving traffic control and mass
transit systems, and by introducing high-speed trains, people movers, and other new
transportation methods.

Construction

As a construction engineer, you are the builder of our future. The construction phase of a project represents the first tangible result of design. Using your technical and management skills will allow you to turn designs into reality – on time and within budget. You will apply your knowledge of construction methods and equipment, along with the principles of financing, planning, and managing, to turn the designs of other engineers into successful projects.

Sir , please tell me what are the applications of civilengineering

Nasir says:

hejj!! guyz i lyk to know the adventages of civil engineering..am high school student..but anyway i lyk C.E…plz let me noe.

ASAD ULLAH says:

HELLO NASIR…..WITH THE COMPLIMENTS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT CIVIL ENGINEERING IS ALL ABOUT THE CONVENIENCE ….ANY THING THAT SAVE MONEY,TIME,ENERGY….
CIVIL ENGINEERING AS A PROFESSION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL ENGINEERINGS…….AND ECONOMICALLY I GIVES U SOUND AND SATISFACTORY PAYMENTS……..THANXX..i hope u understand….pakistan

I just got admission into the polytecnic to offer civil engineering.i want to know de opportunities after de cousre

sridhar says:

friends pls tell me about pg(post graduation) option in civil engineering
thanks in advance

RUGWIZA J Paul says:

Sir, me too I am a civil eng. from Kigali Institute of Scence & Technology(KIST);
I Would like to ask u what is required fr being called cv eng. of professionalism
tnks a lot….

Sriram says:

Sir, I am civil engineering student and i have to do my project in civil engineering.Can u say me atleast the latest topic to do the project.

ASAD ULLAH says:

i must say u must design a moving structure……..

G.V Laxmikanth says:

gud information tht u provided… bt the information is very less nd we need to learn nd know mre abt civil engineering.. plz provide sme mre infrmation abt civil engineering…..

G.V Laxmikanth says:

plz keep as fst as possible information abt civil eng…
