Civil Engineering The Architecture Studies

Civil engineering is one branch of engineering science that studies how to design, construct, renovate not only the buildings and infrastructure, but also includes the environment for the benefit of human life.

Civil engineering has a wide scope, in which knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, environment until the computer has the role of each. Civil engineering was developed in line with the level of human needs and movements, until it can be said of this science could transform a forest into a big city.


Branches of civil engineering science

Structural: Branch who studied the structural problem of the materials used for construction. A building form may be made from several choices of materials such as steel, concrete, wood, glass or other materials. Each material has characteristics of each. Science field of study the structural properties of the material so that eventually the material can be selected which are suitable for this type of building. In this field more in-depth study of issues related to the structural design of buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels from building foundations to the building ready for use.

Geotechnical: Branch who studies the structure and properties of various kinds of soil in sustaining a building which will stand on it. Scope can be either a field investigation which is investigating the circumstances of an area of ​​land and reinforced with laboratory investigations.

Construction Management: The branch of learning problems in construction projects relating to economy, job scheduling, return on capital, cost of the project, all matters relating to legal and licensing of building up the organization of work in the field so hopefully the building was completed on time.

Hydrology: The branch of study the water, distribution, and control problems. This area includes, among others, the branch of hydrology (with respect to weather, rainfall, water discharge of a river, etc.), hydraulics (the material properties of water, water pressure, the thrust of water, etc.) and building of water such as ports, irrigation, dams / dam ( dams), canals.

Environmental Engineering: The branch which studies issues and environmental issues. These areas include among others the provision of clean water infrastructure, waste management and sewage, river pollution, noise pollution and air to restructuring techniques.

Transportation: The branch of learning about the transportation system in the planning and implementation. This area includes, among others, construction and arrangement of highways, construction of airports, terminals, stations and its management.

Informatics in Civil Engineering: The new branch which studies the application of computers for calculations / modeling a system in development or research project. This area includes, among others, exemplified in the form of modeling Structures (Structural than material or CAD), modeling the movement of groundwater or wastewater, environmental modeling with GIS technology (Geographic information system).

Breadth of civil engineering branch of this makes it very flexible in the world of work. Professional obtained from an expert in this field include: designing / implementing development / maintenance of roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, airports, traffic (land, sea, air), the system network of canals, drainage, irrigation, housing, building , minimizing earthquake damage, environmental protection, water supply, land surveys, the concept of project finance, project management etc.. All aspects of life sciences Fuel in charge of civil engineering.

Differences of architects, is located at the position of civil engineer in a project. Architects donated the design, ideas, possibilities of development on paper. The results of the draft was submitted subsequent to the civil engineering field specialist staff for the implementation of the development. This stage, civil engineering experts to make improvements / suggestions from the implementation of planning, coordination in the project, observing the course of the project to fit the plan. In addition, civil engineers are also developing the concept of financial and project management on matters that affect the course of the project.

Civil engineers are not only dealing with the construction of a building project, but in other fields such as those related to informatics, allowing for memodelisasi a form with the help of CAD programs, modeling of damage caused by the earthquake, flood. It is very important in developed countries as a benchmark for the feasibility of building a vital building that has cost the lives of many risks to humans such as nuclear reactors or dam, in the event of failure of technical planning. The design of the building usually modeled in the computer with the given factors such buildings as the earthquake threat and the collapse of the structure of the material. The role of civil engineers are also still valid despite the construction phase of a building has been completed, such as maintenance facilities located in the building.
