Is the civil engineering?

Before getting to know more about civil science, it helps us to know whether the civil engineering?
Civil engineering is a branch of engineering science that studies how to design, build, renovate not only the buildings and infrastructure, but also include the environment for the benefit of human life.

Civil engineering has a broad scope, in which knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, environment until the computer has the role of each. Civil engineering developed in line with the level of human needs and their movements, to be able to say this science can turn a forest into a big city.

The branches of science civil engineering

 Structural: Branch is studying the structural problems of the materials used for construction. A form of the building may be made from several choices of materials such as steel, concrete, wood, glass or other materials. Each of these materials has its own characteristics. Science field studying the structural properties of the material can be selected so that in the end where the material is suitable for the type of the building. In this field studied more in depth matters relating to the planning of the structure of buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels of the construction of the foundation until the building is ready for use.

    Geotechnical: Branch is studying the structure and properties of a wide range of soil and rock in supporting a building that would stand on it. Its scope can be either field investigations that are investigation the circumstances of an area of ​​land, construction and planning of laboratory investigations of soil and rock, such as: embankment (embankment), excavation (excavation), soft ground tunnel (soft soil tunnel), the tunnel rock (rock / mountain tunnel), the dam soil / rock (earth dam, rock fill dam), and others.

    Construction Management: Branch is studying the problems in construction projects relating to the economy, job scheduling, return on capital, the cost of the project, all matters relating to law and licensing of building up the organization of work in the field so that the building is expected to be completed on time.

    Hydrology: The branch that studies the water, distribution, control and issue. This field includes, among others, the branch of hydrology (with respect to weather, rainfall, river water flow, etc.), hydraulics (material properties of water, water pressure, water thrust etc.) and waterworks such as ports, irrigation, reservoirs / dams ( dam), the canal.

    Environmental Engineering: The branch that studies the issues and environmental issues. This field includes, among others, the provision of clean water infrastructure, sewage and waste management, river pollution, noise pollution and air until recovery techniques.

    Transportation: Branch is studying the transport system in the planning and implementation. This field includes, among others, construction and arrangement highway, construction airports, terminals, stations and management.

    Civil Engineering Informatics: a new branch that studies the application of Computer for computation / modeling a system in development or research project. This field includes, among others, exemplified in the form of building structure modeling (Structural of material or CAD), modeling the movement of ground water or waste, environmental modeling with GIS technology (Geographic information system).Breadth is a branch of civil engineering makes it very versatile in the world of work. Professions obtained from an expert this field include: designing / implementing development / maintenance of roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, airports, traffic (land, sea, air), the network system of canals, drainage, irrigation, housing, building , minimization of earthquake losses, environmental protection, water supply, land survey, the financial concept of the project, project management and so on. All aspects of life tercangkup in charge of civil engineering.Differences of architects, located at the position of civil engineering experts in a project. Architects donated design, the idea, the possibility of implementing development on paper. Results of the draft was submitted subsequent to the staff of experts in civil engineering for the construction work. This stage, civil engineering experts make improvements / suggestions on the implementation of the planning, coordination of the project, observing the course of the project to fit the plan. In addition, civil engineering experts also developing the concept of financial and project management on matters that affect the course of the project.Civil engineering experts are not only dealing with the construction of a building project, but in other fields such as those related to informatics, allows for memodelisasi a form with the help of a CAD program, modeling the damage caused by earthquakes, floods. This is very important in developed countries as a benchmark for the feasibility of building a vital building that has claimed many risks can be human as a nuclear reactor or dam, in case of failure of technical planning. The design of the building is typically modeled in the computer with the given factors such as the earthquake threat of the building and collapse the structure of the material. The role of civil engineering experts are also still in force despite the construction phase of a building has been completed, such as maintenance of facilities located in the building.
