Civil engineering is dedicated to the design, maintenance, and construction of both the physical and naturally built environment. It is primarily concerned with public infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, dams, canals, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, and railways, as well as the structural components of buildings. Sub-disciplines within civil engineering include environmental engineering, forensic engineering, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, coastal engineering, structural engineering, and construction engineering. Earthquake engineering is dedicated to designing structures capable of withstanding the potentially destructive forces of earthquakes. Coastal engineering focuses on addressing the unique challenges that arise during construction activities near or along the coast, as well as the overall development of coastal areas. This book provides significant information on civil engineering to help develop a good understanding of building construction and related fields. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
