Types of Civil Engineering Branches

  1. Construction Engineering:-

    •  This civil engineering branch deals with the planning, construction and maintenance of structures. Construction engineering is the planning and execution of designs from site development, environmental, structural, transportation and structural engineers. 
    • They must ensure that the plans that have been designed by other engineers are implemented to their exact specifications.
    •  Construction engineers will supervise field work during the entire project. 
    • They are in a sense a cross between engineer and manager as they will oversee the project from start to finish and handle any problems that come up throughout the duration of the project.

2.Structural Engineering:-

  • This branch of civil engineering encompasses the structural analysis and design of structures. 
  • It is the responsibility of the structural engineer to analyze and design a structure that will safely bear or resist the stresses, forces and loads. 
  • The design must satisfy the project specifications while meeting all safety regulations.
  • The structure must endure massive loads as well as natural disasters and climate changes.

3.Geo technical Engineering:-

  • In Geo technical engineering the engineer studies soil, foundations and bearing capacities. 
  • The engineer will study the behavior of the earth materials and how they will affect a structure that is to be constructed. 
  • They will also evaluate per-existing structures that are showing signs of problems with the earth materials under or near the structure.

4.Transportation Engineering:-

  • Civil engineers that specialize in transportation engineering will work with the planning, construction and management of transportation facilities.
  •  They will design and implement the infrastructures that deal with transportation in order to provide a safe, comfortable, convenient, economical and environmentally compatible mode of transport. 
  • There are six divisions related to transportation engineering: highway, air transportation, waterway, aerospace, coastal & ocean and urban transportation.

5.Water Resource Engineering:-

  •  These engineers deal with the design and construction of hydraulic structures. 
  • These structures include dams, canals and water distribution system.
  • The engineer is responsible for the design of the structure as well as the implementation and safety precautions that must be closely adhered to when dealing with hydraulic structures.

    6.Environmental engineering;-

    • study of environment friendly designs,pollution and their resolutions and sewage management. Many engineers focus solely upon the crisis of pollution and coming up with solutions as well as
    • determining new and inventive ways for sewage management and other
