What is Civil Engineering????

Civil engineering is a composite of many specific disciplines.

Structural & solid mechanics. Waste treatment & environmental. Transportation. Geotechnical & soil mechanics. Hydraulics & water management. Construction management.

Structural & Solid Mechanics

Structural engineers design steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as:
Tall buildings & towers, Bridges, Dams, Retaining walls, & foundations, &. Stadiums.

Waste Treatment & Environmental.

Wastewater treatment engineers are civil or environmental engineers trained to design or analyze water treatment plants. Water treatment plants are categorized as follows:
Sanitary waste treatment facilities, Industrial waste treatment facilities, Potable (drinking) water treatment facility. Link: Visit Sewage World

Largest treatment basins in the USA

Transportation

Transportation Engineers design and analyze

Highways, Railways, Airports, Urban and Suburban Road Networks, Parking Lots, and Traffic Control Signal Systems.

Geotechnical & Soil Mechanics

Geotechnical Engineers analyze the subterranean rock and soil to determine its suitability to support extreme loads. Proper geotechnical engineering is essential for a safe and secure structure.
