Description



About the Book



Civil Engineering is a primary branch of engineering which is concerned with the development and construction of buildings and physical structures. It employs the principles of physics, mathematics, hydrology, and various other fields like industrial engineering, geography and geology to build structures such as dams, bridges, canals, etc. Civil engineering is further divided into various sub-disciplines such as structural engineering, coastal engineering, earthquake engineering, construction engineering and geotechnical engineering. Construction engineering involves site development and review of logistics costs. Earthquake engineering is concerned with designing structures which can withstand earthquakes, while coastal engineering focuses on managing coastal area by keeping soil erosion and flooding in check. Other than construction work, civil engineering is applied to various other fields such as the aerospace industry to design space stations or the automotive industry to find the load carrying capacity of the chassis. Such selected concepts that redefine civil engineering have been presented in this book. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in this field. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
