2 What is civil engineering? The oldest engineer processes, that deals with design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environments. Like: bridge, building, dam, roads,… The oldest engineer processes, that deals with design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environments.

4 Structural engineering Structural engineering work is dealing with design and analysis of the project. They make sure that the system or item is working safely.

5 Japan national airport A man made island with 4 km (2.5 mi) long and 2.5 km (1.6 mi) wide. The problem is the soil. Soil immediately under the water was a soft clay called alluvial clay. A man made island with 4 km (2.5 mi) long and 2.5 km (1.6 mi) wide. The problem is the soil. Soil immediately under the water was a soft clay called alluvial clay. To solved the problem, Japan engineers drive down pipes which would be then packed with sand. The pipes would then be pulled up leaving columns of sand in place to absorb the moisture in the alluvial clay.

7 Water resource engineering Water resources engineering is concerned with the collection and management of water Water resources engineering is concerned with the collection and management of water As a discipline it therefore combines hydrology, environmental science,meteorology, geology, conservation, and resource management.

8 Hoover dam To build this dam engineers have to calculate and measure the environments. Especially the water resource have to watch the water quality on the surface and underground.

10 Transportation engineering Transportation engineering is concerned with moving people and goods efficiently, safely, and in a conductive manner. Transportation engineering is concerned with moving people and goods efficiently, safely, and in a conductive manner. This involves specifying, designing, constructing, and maintaining transportation which include streets, canals, highways, rail systems, airports and mass transit.

11 High-speed rail High-speed rail (HSR) is a type of rail transportation that operates significantly faster than the normal speed of rail traffic. High-speed rail (HSR) is a type of rail transportation that operates significantly faster than the normal speed of rail traffic. Engineers have to make sure the railroad must with stand the weather, seasons and the weight of the train and the wheels have to stick to the track.
