The term engineering is derived from the Latin word 'Ingenium' means cleverness and ingeniare means contrive , device.
Civil engineering is that field of engineering concerned with the planning design and construction for environmental control , development of natural resources, buildings, transportation facilities and other structures required for health, welfare, safety employment and prosperity of people.
To make students aware of importance of civil engineering in various engineering applications.
To familiarize students with various buildings and construction material
To introduce students to various methods of land surveying.
To introduce students about water management and transportation engineering
Civil engineering is the oldest branch of engineering which is growing from the ancient civilization
A civil engineer design build and maintain the foundation for our modern society our roads and bridges drinking water seaports airports
Civil engineer plan new township and extension of existing township
Build dams and thanks to exploit water resources
World river navigation and flood control projects
Build canals and distributaries to take water to agriculture field
Device traffic control system for traffic regulations
Provide and maintain solid disposal system
Various specialization civil engineers are :
Most important specialization in civil engineering.
Structural engineers are concerned with the conception analysis design and construction of components to resist load from external and internal forces.
Disasters due to earthquake have made civil engineers to study earthquake forces and build earthquake resistant structure it needs the knowledge of structural dynamics.
A Civil Engineer has to not only give a safe structure but he has to give an economical structure also has there is a need for studying optimization techniques. All these aspects of analysis and design fall under structural engineering field.
All of the structure have to finally transfer the load acting to soil safely.
Soil properties changes from place to place which may even in the same place may not be any form at different types of civil engine has to properly investigate soil in decide about the safe load that can spread on the soil the branch of solar engineering is known as Geotechnical engineering.
Fluid mechanics deal with the properties and behaviour of fluids address or in motion.
The principle of fluid mechanics can be applied to daily life as in case of circulation of blood in veins.
The design of hydraulic structure such as than and regulators required the forces excerted by water and the behaviour of water under pressure.
The development of nation mainly depend upon the communication facilities available in nation wealth.
A national wealth is measured in terms of road and railway facility available.
There are three modes
water
Air
Land
The specialization of civil engineering deals with the design construction and execution of communication routes.
The different branches of transportation engineering includes Highway Engineering railway harbour
The responsibility of providing portable means drinking water to the public and disposing the waste water safely is that of civil engineer.
Water supply engineering deals with the location collection of water its treatment methods test for standard methods limits and efficient supply of water.
Used water solid waste toxic waste cannot be disposed directly since these affect the environment branch of civil engineering which deals with this is environmental engineering.
Irrigation is the process of supplying water by man made methods for cultivation process.
Irrigation include the study and design of works related to the control of river water and drainage of water logged areas.
Controlling and harnessing of various resources of water by construction of resources canals and distribution channels to cultivable lands.
Before starting any important civil Engineering projects such as construction of railways highways dam and buildings it become necessary to have a details survey maps showing the accurate boundary of the project area.
The main purpose of the survey work is to prepare the plan of the object to be surveyed.
Various instruments are used to measure and connect the nursery information to draw plan.
Remote sensing uses the technique of obtaining the data about an area by taking aerial photographs.
Civil engineering activities in the infrastructure development are
Good town planning and extension of existing areas in the cities. Each extension of the area should be sufficient in accommodation offices, educational institution, markets, hospitals, recreational facilities and residential accommodation.
Assured water supply .
Good drainage system.
Pollution free environment and conditions.
A well build road network and Road crossing.
Railway connection to all important cities and towns .
Airports and harbours of national and international standards in first structure also involves electricity supply without electricity supply no city, town can develop. Internet and telephone are also desirable features.
Educational facilities are also parts of the infrastructure proximity of good primary and secondary schools to residential areas is desirable college and professional education also form part of the infrastructure.
Good health care facilities is necessity primary health care centre specialized hospital and doctors add to the desirable infrastructure facilities.
Connecting producing centers to market places minimize exploitation of producers by middle men imports and exports become easy and as a result of which whole world become village
Improve irrigation facility in hands agriculture products and hands producers as well as consumers are benefited.
Infrastructure facility developed scope for a number of industries and it creates job opportunities.
Improve education and health care rice to skilled and healthy work force quality of people life of people is improved.
Utilization of manpower for the benefit of mankind brings down anti social activities.
In case of natural calamities assistance can be easily extended to the effect area and misery of affected people can be minimized
Infrastructure facilities improv defence system .
Improve economic power of the country wings and respectable status in the world.
After the competition of the course we will be able to
Describe the role of civil engineer in the development of society.
About the types of building and construction materials.
Elements of water supply and drainage and elements of transportation
Measurements of height distance and angles on ground using basic serving instruments and plot them and paper.
