Throughout the history of civilization bridges have been the icons of cities, regions, and countries. All bridges are useful for transportation, commerce, and war. Bridges are necessary for civilization to exist, and many bridges are beautiful.

A few have become the symbols of the best, noblest, and most beautiful that mankind has achieved. The secrets of the design and construction of the ancient bridges have been lost, but how could one not marvel at the magnificence, for example, of the Roman viaducts?

Hand Book of Bridge Engineering 

The second edition of the  Bridge Engineering Handbook expands and updates the previous   edition by including the new developments of the first decade of the twenty-first century.

Modern bridge  engineering has its roots in the nineteenth century, when wrought iron, steel, and reinforced  concrete began to compete with timber, stone, and brick bridges.

 By the beginning of World War II, the  transportation infrastructure of Europe and North America was essentially complete, and it served to sustain civilization as we know it. The iconic bridge symbols of modern cities were in place:

Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge, Eads Bridge of St. Louis, and the bridges of Paris, Lisbon, and the bridges on the Rhine and the Danube. 

Budapest, my birthplace, had seven beautiful bridges across the Danube. Bridge engineering had reached its golden age, and what more and better could be attained than that which was already achieved?

Download Engineered Concrete Mix Design and Test Methods PDF Book

The purpose of this book is to familiarize civil engineering and construction technology students with
two of the most important materials of construction, Portland cement (PC) and Portland cement con-crete (PCC).

People frequently make the error of using these terms interchangeably. It is important to
keep in mind that PC is a powder, while PCC is initially a plastic material and for the remainder of
its life, a solid.

Engineered Concrete Mix Design and Test Methods

A valid analogy is to compare PC to flour and PCC to bread. The book aims to assist
students to gain an understanding of PC and PCC through the physical handling and testing of these
materials in the laboratory environment.

While the book was primarily written for use at the college
level, it may also serve as a practical guide for the graduate engineer and laboratory technician.

Surveying is said to be heart of civil engineering. Every single activity of construction starts from survey, whether you are construction pile foundation, you need a surveyor to locate and layout that pile according to the coordinates i.e. northing and easting along with chainage, reduced distance (RD) from a bench mark. similarly the steel reinforcement level has to be according to drawing and specification, again a surveyor has to check in there.

This book of surveying not only describes it but also guides you through step by step procedures to solve various problems in the field.

The construction of dams ranks with the earliest and most fundamental of civil engineering activities. All great civilizations have been identified with the construction of storage reservoirs appropriate to their needs, in the earliest instances to satisfy irrigation demands arising through the development and expansion of organized agriculture. Operating within constraints imposed by local circumstance, notably climate and terrain, the economic power of successive civilizations was related to proficiency in water engineering.

Prosperity, health and material progress became increasingly linked to the ability to store and direct water. In an international context, the proper and timely utilization of water resources remains one of the most vital contributions made to society by the civil engineer.

Dam construction represents a major investment in basic infrastructure within all nations. The annual completion rate for dams of all sizes continues at a very high level in many countries, e.g. China, Turkey and India, and to a lesser degree in some more heavily industrialized nations including the United States.

30+ Most amazing Funny Civil Engineering Pictures

Civil Engineering as a field and as a career is not as easy as it seems, Civil Engineers work in fields for countless hours, have to work in Sundays as well. But even then the tough life have many crazy things that can happen to make your lips smile a but. 

The post I am writing today is to take a break from the hectic routine and lets have some fun and some smiles on our face. These funny civil engineering pictures are taken from various internet sources, most you might have gone through them but lets celebrate and lets enjoy that we are happy civil engineers. 

\

When you will work in field sun will make you darker

When you will work in the field as civil engineer you get stronger than Superman.

That is why we say surveying is a heart of civil engineer.

This show how busy we civil engineers are. 

This picture shows what actually civil engineers do :) 

Some mistakes Past Civil Engineers made

Difference between architects and civil engineers

Civil Engineer at his interview

Yeah cock making a survey.

This is how site engineers are different. 

First ever Camel employed as chief Surveyor 

If you are an engineering student you must already know this face :P 

If you havn't done this thing you actually havn't done surveying in your life. 

This is how Civil Engineering Changed my Life

Story of a Civil Engineer

Civil Engineers are simple, yet innovative, hardworking, human loving problem solvers. They work for day and night to build luxury and felicity to protect you from hardships of nature. They sacrifice their own wishes and their own luxury just to let you feel safe in this unsafe world.

Here is a short story sent from a civil engineer working in the site as Site Engineer. You might get tears while reading it. But yet they all are stronger then the strength of steel they use in reinforcement. 

 

Story of a Civil Engineer

We civil Engineers do not negotiate with nature.
We do not compromise with hotsun, cold winter, heavy rain.
We work in deep valley, and thick forest.
We do land survey at nook and corner of the world.
We leave our families behind to build highway roads, rail tracks, cannels, dams and reservoirs.
We work at dangerous heights to build tall buildings
We are educated nomadic tribes, we move from place to place after completion of project.
We do not know Sundays and festivals we only know to work in forest.
We do not have entertainment means and metropolitans facilities.
We eat any kind of food available at the project site.
We do not have luxury accommodation, we stay in the temporary accommodation at project site.
We build prestigious monuments.
We know and learn all languages necessary to communicate with local labor.
We work with labor who are below the poverty line.
We understand the problem of poverty.
We understand how to eliminate poverty.
We can transform world into heaven
We are the future rulers of the world.
We only can make it possible.
So GOD likes and wants Civil Engineers

A basic function of civil and construction engineering is to provide and maintain the infrastructure needs of society. The infrastructure includes buildings, water treatment and distribution systems, waste water removal and processing, dams, and highway and airport bridges and pavements. Although some civil and construction engineers are involved in the planning process, most are concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of facilities.

The common denominator among these responsibilities is the need to understand the behavior and performance of materials. Although not all civil and construction engineers need to be material specialists, a basic understanding of the material selection process, and the behavior of materials, is a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction, and maintenance. Material requirements in civil engineering and construction facilities are different from material requirements in other engineering disciplines. Frequently, civil engineering structures require tons of materials with relatively low replications of specific designs.

Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers

Generally, the materials used in civil engineering have relatively low unit costs. In many cases, civil engineering structures are formed or fabricated in the field under adverse conditions. Finally, many civil engineering structures are directly exposed to detrimental effects of the environment.
