What are the 3 functions of civil engineering

A preliminary investigation undertaken in the very early stage of a project to assess whether the project is viable.

The process of collecting information, assessment of the data and reporting potential hazards beneath a site which are unknown.

What are the things to do Before Construction

It when we are Dealing with clients and Consulting Engineers, and Contractors.

Maintenance happens when?

A subset of civil engineering, focusing on the “bones and muscles” of man-made structures.

it is a highly specialized field of civil engineering, one of the oldest engineering discipline.

Among the first structural engineers in recorded history was a man called....

They were involved in the building of the Great Pyramids of Giza circa 2700 B.C.E.

Imhotep was a high official in the court of Pharaoh Djoser, serving as a...

He was not only a political official, but a priest, architect, scholar, and physician. As a jack of all trades, he is remembered for his contributions to medicine, engineering, and architecture.

3 Ancient Structures

He was a French civil engineer who is well known for the tower in Paris that bears his name, Eiffel Tower.

He also designed the framework of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

Who is an Irish Structural Engineer born on 16 June 1935 and died on October 25, 1992.

He was credited with having done the geometry for the challenging designed of the shells for the roof of the Sydney Opera House.

A German structural engineer who was born on July 12, 1909 and died on December 30 1999.

Who was considered as a Bridge Master.

He made major contributions to 20th-century bridge engineering, especially in the development of cable-stayed bridges.

What is the name of the bridge that Fritz Leonhardt Designed.

He has dedicated himself to structural innovation; most notably in the design of tall buildings within the urban landscape.

His most recent contribution has been to developed the

Burj Khalifa
“buttressed core” structural system for the Burj Khalifa,

He is currently a structural engineering partner in the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP (SOM) - a collective of architects, designers, engineers, and planners working together to build a better future

A structural system for high buildings consisting of a hexagonal core reinforced by three buttressed that form a Y shape.

This design helps to reduce the wind forces on the Burj Khalifa tower, as well as to keep the structure simple and foster constructability.

Who are responsible for calculating the strength and stability of load bearing structures to withstand earthquakes, wind, and other natural disasters.

Safety and quality work are major priorities for structural engineers. To ensure safe design, engineers and designers follow the latest codes and standards in their structural design, perform design checks and sign off on checklists prior to finalizing the design.

Structural components and access systems are being inspected thoroughly to determine signs of deterioration, defects or damages.

Project collaboration enables the teams to work together productively to achieve the client’s project goal. Engineers also collaborate with other professionals by joining online communities in the same field.

These firms offer engineers an opportunity to collaborate and share design ideas

also have structural engineers as paid employees. Many construction companies hire structural engineers as well as several other engineering disciplines.

These projects could include office building structures or federally-regulated infrastructure projects.

Many structural engineering work in the research and development field. These engineers research, test, analyze and evaluate many old and new methods of creating safe, quality structures.

often hire structural engineers to assist in the design of new buildings or structures. Manufacturing centers often have large pieces of heavy equipment that can create heavy loads on existing and new structures

Architects and structural engineers often work very closely together. Many architectural firms hire structural engineers or have a number of them on a consultancy basis

Structural engineers can also provide services on their own – under a consultancy model. These structural engineers, through their entrepreneurial endeavors, offer many of the same services as engineers in large agencies.

It is located at the very bottom of the construction, in direct contact with the soil, and acts to transfer loads safely from the building to the ground.

A structural element that transmit loads from a structure's slab (the roof or upper floors) to its foundation and the ground beneath it

horizontal or sloping members that span across two or more supports, distributing the load imposed on them

supports the load of the building by withstanding the load pressure and resisting bending.

A flat horizontal surface that supports people and furniture. The purpose of flooring is to provide a dry and hygienic ground to your structure.

A vertical base component that works as a floor and a ceiling. In structures that have multiple stories, the slab is the ceiling of the 1st story and floor of the story above it. Transfers the weight from the story above it vertically to the walls and columns that support the structure

Vertical structure components that support the roof. They also provide security and protection from outside weather.

Line the perimeter of the structure and can protect the inside of the structure from weather and moisture, as well as provide privacy.

Makes up the design and spatial structure of the interior of the building. Some interior walls are necessary to hold the weight of the roof, but some walls are only used to segment off space

Made up of a collection of steps that allow movement from one floor to another. It has to bear its own weight and anyone walking on it.

Made up of a web of triangles joined together to enable the even distribution of weight and the handling of changing tension and compression without bending or shearing

A framework that supports something, like a roof or a bridge. A steel beam that holds up a bridge is called a truss. Another kind of truss is a similar structure that's designed to support a roof

The uppermost structural element of a building. It provides covering for the rest of the structure to protect it from weather.
