Building Big!!!!Building Big!!!!

Buildings & Structures: Cities

Infrastructure: Transportation

Culture: Art: Architecture

The Future: Without Limit!

Structural & Structural & Solid MechanicsSolid Mechanics

Structural engineers design steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as:– Tall buildings & towers,– Bridges,– Dams,– Retaining walls, &

foundations, &.– Stadiums.

Waste Treatment & Environmental.Waste Treatment & Environmental.

Wastewater treatment engineers are civil or environmental engineers trained to design or analyze water treatment plants.

Water treatment plants are categorized as follows:– Sanitary waste treatment

facilities,– Industrial waste treatment

facilities,– Potable (drinking) water

treatment facility.Largest treatment basins in the USA

TransportationTransportation Transportation Engineers

design and analyze – Highways, – Railways, – Airports, – Urban and Suburban Road

Networks,– Parking Lots, and – Traffic Control Signal

Systems.

Geotechnical & Geotechnical & Soil MechanicsSoil Mechanics

Geotechnical Engineers analyze the subterranean rock and soil to determine its suitability to support extreme loads.

Proper geotechnical engineering is essential for a safe and secure structure.

Hydraulics & Water Hydraulics & Water ManagementManagement

Water management involves the use of hydrologic and hydraulic principles to design:– Drainage systems, – Detention/retention ponds, – Navigational waterways, and– Flood control levees, dams,

and lakes.

Construction Construction ManagementManagement

Construction managers:– Review contracts,– Order materials,– Hire and schedule sub-

contractors. The job of a construction

manager is to:– Provide quality control and

insure project is completed on time and.

– Within budget.
