civil engineering

listen to the pronunciation of civil engineering
English - English
The technical design and construction of public works (buildings, roads, harbors, public greens ...) and/or technically equivalent private (usually corporate) ones
designing of roads bridges and other public works structures
the branch of engineering concerned with the design and construction of such public works as dams or bridges
Civil engineering is the planning, design, and building of roads, bridges, harbours, and public buildings. The Channel Tunnel project is the biggest civil engineering project in Europe. the planning, building, and repair of roads, bridges, large buildings etc engineer. Profession of designing and executing structural works that serve the general public, including bridges, canals, dams, harbors, lighthouses, roads, tunnels, and environmental works (e.g., water-supply systems). The modern field includes power plants, aircraft and airports, chemical-processing plants, and water-treatment facilities. Civil engineering today involves site investigations and feasibility studies, structural design and analysis, construction, and facilities maintenance. The design of engineering works requires the application of design theory from many fields (e.g., hydraulics, thermodynamics, nuclear physics). Research in structural analysis and the technology of materials such as steel and concrete has opened the way for new concepts and greater economy of materials. The engineer's analysis of a building problem determines the structural system to be used. Structural designs are rigorously analyzed by computers to determine if they will withstand loads and natural forces

civil engineer
In many countries such as Norway, Sweden and Austria, the term "civil engineer" simply means non-military engineer, as it did originally in the UK, where it is now restricted to the branch of engineering dealing with public works , construction etc Thus in Austria we find that a geodetic engineer is a subset of "civil ingenieur" and the English "civil engineer" translates as "bauingenieur"
practical civil engineering
profession which deals with the correct engineering planning of structures at the level of practical engineer
