Role of civil engineer

        Civil engineer play a very important role in the construction of Urban and Rural Infrastructure development.

        Civil engineer also responsible for the construction, design, managing different types of projects like construction of High rise structures, construction and development of roads, Railways, construction of dams, and  all types of Maintenance of structures.

Types of Civil Engineering Branches 

Now a day's with the increase of infrastructure development civil engineering divided into various branches or field.

Following are the various branches involved in this field.

1. Geotechnical Engineering 

2. Structural Engineering 

3. Environmental Engineering 

4. Transportation Engineering

5. Water Resource Engineering

6. Earthquake Engineering

7. Construction Management

8. Surveying

Etc.

These are the various branches of civil engineering from this We can easily distribute the structure falls under which category.

Now we will discuss about such branches.

Geotechnical Engineering

        Geotechnical Engineering is the branch of civil engineering which deals with the study and behaviour of soil, rock and other Earth materials. This is also called soil mechanics.
         With the study of earth material we can easily find the characteristics of soil and which types of structure is suitable for it.

Structural Engineering 

        Structural engineering is the branch of civil engineering which deals with the study of structural integrity and strength of a building or structure.
        It also involves the application of the laws of physics, mathematics and empirical knowledge to safely design of the structure. 

Environmental Engineering

        Environmental engineering is the branch of civil engineering which deals with the study involving relation of human beings with his environment and interdependence of various elements in his surroundings like air, water, land etc. Environmental engineering mainly focused on sanitary egineering.

Transportation Engineering 

        Transportation engineering is the branch of Civil Engineering which deals with transportation system and their improvement for safe economical and efficient conveyance of goods as well as human beings etc.

Water Resource Engineering 

        Water Resource Engineering is a branch of civil engineering which deals with various water resources and the design of new systems and equipment that help to manage various water resources.
The natural resources of water that are very useful for humans for drinking and other purposes.
About 97 percent of water is salt water and remaining is a fresh water which is in the form of liquid and ice.

Earthquake Engineering

        In this kind of engineering the structures such as buildings, dams, bridges etc are designed and analysed by considering the earthquake forces. The main aim of such kind of engineering is to make the structures more resistant to earthquakes.

Construction Management 

        Construction management is the branch of Civil Engineering which deals with the different types of construction work, erection of structures with equal sides economy, efficiency and factor of safety.
For every kind of structure the construction management play a very important role for completion of project because all kinds of activity scheduled before time of working.

Surveying 

        Surveying involves recording and measuring the details about an area of land which can be used to help plan construction projects. 
        The main purposes of surveying are: for recording various points on the surface of the earth, for recording levels which is above or below the mean sea level (MSL) etc.
