Civil engineering is an engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways
Look back a couple of decades; and, you’ll find that computer-aided drafting or CAD in civil engineering industry was considered expensive technology than a necessity. But today, you won’t find any civil engineer who doesn’t have expertise or training in CAD. Nowadays, aspiring civil engineers enrol in an Architectural and CAD program to get a …

Structural health monitoring is the process of establishing a damage detection for engineering structures such as buildings, bridges etc. It enables us to know the current condition of the structure. Since any structure gets deteriorate with the passage of time. Therefore it is necessary to have a structural monitoring system. Qualitative and non-continuous methods have …
Base isolation system is introduced in high rise buildings is to prevent the damage due to seismic forces. In base isolation system suspension or series of bearing pads is introduced in-between sub-structure and superstructure. When the earth shakes due to seismic forces, the suspension prevents the force transfer from ground to the superstructure. The isolators …
The shelter is the basic need of human being. But this may be out of the means of the low-income householder. The construction of low-cost housing is possible with the use of low-cost building materials and planning. Low-cost housing construction is basically based on three factors which are structural design, method of budgeting and cost-cutting …
Construction site safety is required to save the lives of workers employed at the construction site. Construction is the second-largest activity, next to agriculture in India, which employs illiterate/semi-literate migrant workers intensively. The construction sector is dynamic in nature and highly accident-prone. A small accident at a construction site may affect the entire workflow and …
Engineering geology deals with the study of the structure of the earth in relation to the civil engineering for the execution of safe and cost-effective design for construction projects. Every civil engineering works involve earth and its features. Geological information are necessary in every stage of the project be it planning, designing or construction phase …
The Submerged floating Tunnel is a tube-like structure made of steel and concrete deploying the law of buoyancy to support the structure at a moderate and convenient depth. The submerged floating tunnel is an unconventional concept for crossing waterways. An SFT is considered when the depth of the sea ocean is too deep so that …
