Introduction to
Civil Engineering
Engineering
• Ingenious means ‘Clever person’ in Latin
• Engineer cleverly uses the available natural
resources for the benefit of mankind
• Provides comfort to mankind and makes life
comfortable.
Civil Engineering
• Oldest branch of engineering, next to Military engineering.
• A professional engineering discipline that deals with the
analysis, design, construction and maintenance of
infrastructural facilities such as buildings, bridges, dams,
roads etc.
• John Smeaton was the first self proclaimed Civil Engineer
who built Eddystone Light House in 1771.

The Future: Without Limit!
Construction Technology
& Management
• Deals with planning, scheduling and
execution of construction activity related to
a project.
• Comprises of men, material, time and
money management.
• Emphasis will be on new construction
practice, use of appropriate and local
technology, safety of men and material,
utilization of marginal materials etc.

Geotechnical
Engineering
• To assess the quality
of soil or rock to carry
the structure
• Proper knowledge of
geotechnical engg
is necessary for
safety and stability
of structures
Hydraulics, Water Resource & Irrigation
Engineering
• Irrigation engineering deals with water management for
agriculture purpose.
• Dams are constructed at the desired locations to store water
in reservoir when the supply from river is good and to utilize
for useful purpose during draught. Canals are built for the
purpose. During excess input, water is allowed to main river
through the body of dam to avoid flooding.

Remote Sensing & GIS
• This is one of the new fields.
• The improvement in space technology,
availability of GPS enhanced the scope of
geographic information system.
Structural Engineering
Burj Dubai
Petronas
• Structure is the assemblage of two or more
basic elements such as beam, slab, column,
truss, frame, shells etc.
• Deals with the requirements considering design
for limit states of collapse and serviceability.
Structural Engineering
Surveying
• Activity involved in collection
of topographic features of a
location for future
construction.
• Feasibility survey, alternate
and most suitable method is
evolved
• Helps in environmental
impact assessment
Surveying
Objectives of Surveying
• Execution of survey to
collect topographic data
• Calculation and analysis of data,
plotting survey data to create design
maps
• Provision of line, grade and
other layout works
Total Station
• Transportation
Engineering
construction/operation and
maintenance of transportation facility.
Deals with Transportation system
Planning And high way material design
