This document provides an overview of various computer applications used in civil engineering. It discusses 2D and 3D drafting programs like QCAD, AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max, Revit, and Civil 3D for modeling. It also covers project scheduling with Microsoft Project and Primavera, structural design with Sap2000, hydraulic design using EPANET, surveying applications like Micro Survey CAD Studio, and mathematical calculations in MatLab. Programming languages allow civil engineers to perform tasks like drafting, modeling, scheduling, structure design, and calculations more efficiently.

4. Two Dimensional Drafting and Annotation
• CAD
• Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of
computer systems to assist in the creation,
modification, analysis, or optimization of a
design
• it is also known as computer-aided drafting
(CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting
(CADD), which describes the process of
creating a technical drawing with the use of
computer software.
• Engineering, Electronics and Machinery
• 2D & 3D Modeling
• Beginning in the 1980s computer-aided design
programs reduced the need of draftsmen
significantly, especially in small to mid-sized
companies

EPANET 1993Hydraulic Design are calculations which are a practice
within the fire safety industry of determining the flow of
liquids through a medium (usually a piping network) to
ensure that fires can be adequately controlled
Hydraulic topics range through some part of science and
most of engineering modules, and cover concepts such as
pipe flow, dam design, fluidics and fluid control
circuitry, pumps, turbines, hydropower, computational fluid
dynamics, flow measurement, river channel behaviour and
erosion.

US Environmental Protection Agency

35. EPANET
• EPANET is a public domain, water distribution
system modelling software.
• Pipe networks consist of pipes, nodes (junctions),
pumps, valves, and storage tanks or reservoirs.
• EPANET includes the capability to model water age
and predict flow of non-reactive and, under simplified
conditions, reactive materials. This capability is
frequently used to predict chlorine residuals within
water distribution systems.

36. Surveying
• Establishing or re-establishing corners,
lines, boundaries, and monuments of
real property (land)Linear Algebra
