๏ฌ Civil engineering is a
composite of many
specific disciplines.
โ Structural & solid mechanics.
โ Waste treatment & environmental.
โ Transportation.
โ Geotechnical & soil mechanics.
โ Hydraulics & water management.

6. Waste Treatment & Environmental.
๏ฌ Wastewater treatment
engineers are civil or
environmental engineers
trained to design or analyze
water treatment plants.
๏ฌ Water treatment plants are
categorized as follows:
โ Sanitary waste treatment
facilities,
โ Industrial waste treatment
facilities,

treatment facility.
Largest treatment basins in the USA
7. Transportation
๏ฌ Transportation
Engineers design and
analyze
โ Highways,
โ Railways,
โ Airports,
โ Urban and Suburban
Road Networks,
โ Parking Lots, and
โ Traffic Control Signal
Systems.
8. Geotechnical &
Soil Mechanics
๏ฌ Geotechnical Engineers
analyze the subterranean
rock and soil to
determine its suitability
to support extreme
loads.
๏ฌ Proper geotechnical
engineering is essential
for a safe and secure
structure.
9. Hydraulics & Water Management
๏ฌ Water management
involves the use of
hydrologic and hydraulic
principles to design:
โ Drainage systems,
โ Detention/retention ponds,
โ Navigational waterways,
and
โ Flood control levees, dams,
and lakes.

Management
๏ฌ Construction managers:
โ Review contracts,
โ Order materials,
โ Hire and schedule sub-
contractors.
๏ฌ The job of a construction
manager is to:
โ Provide quality control and
insure project is completed on
time and.
โ Within budget.
