CIVIL ORIENTATION REVIEWER MIDTERM (QUIZZES) INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS - The world’s first CIVIL ENGINEERING - Is a profession that applies the engineering society. basic principles of science in conjunction with mathematics and computational tools to solve The first engineering school in the world was THE problems associated with developing and sustaining NATIONAL SCHOOL OF BRIDGES AND HIGHWAYS civilized life on our planet. SENATOR CAMILO OSIAS - the first president of ENGINEERING - The application of science and math to National University solve problems. GOVERNOR DOMINGO MORIONES - established the ENGR. ORLANDO P. LOPEZ - current program chair of municipal waterworks for Manila in 1878 the Civil Engineering Department of National PSCE (PHILIPPINE SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING) - University. the first civil engineering organization in the Philippines NORWICH UNIVERSITY - the first private college to 312 BC - the Appian Way constructed teach Civil Engineering in United Stated. PUENTE COLGANTE - The first suspension bridge built 101 JMB – Where the Geotechnical Engineering in Southeast Asia. Laboratory located. COMPUTER ENGINEERING- A discipline of engineering NORA STANTON BLATCH - the first woman which was that focuses on the design of computer hardware, granted with the degree of Civil Engineering. systems, networks and software. INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING - A discipline of 4000 AND 2000 BC - the earliest practice of Civil engineering that focuses on the design and Engineering commenced. optimization of facilities, equipment and systems for manufacturing, materials processing and other LEONARDO ITURRINO - designed the Santiago fortress industrial applications. in Manila. SHELL STRUCTURE - Made from structural skins where ENGR. DALE P. CATAQUIS - the current OIC dean of the the shell material is thin in section relative to the other College of Engineering of National University. dimensions of the roof and undergoes relatively little ALUMNI - The mission “strengthening their sense of deformation under load. pride through engagement, loyalty and love for their CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING - Involves the creation alma mater” of National University. of a detailed timeline that identifies when specific tasks PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT - considered the first instance of and activities will be executed throughout the project large structural construction. lifecycle. DON MARIANO FORTUNATO JHOCSON - founded CONTINUOUS STRUCTURE - These comprise National University. continuous supporting walls through which the combined loads and forces in a building are OLD SHELTER CAVES - In the ancient time, man used transferred. old shelter caves to protect themselves of weather and harsh environment. PETER RICE - the engineer involved in Sydney Opera House. UST (UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS) - the oldest Engineering school in the Philippines. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING - Is a subset of civil engineering focusing on the bones and muscles of a AUGUST 1, 1900 - When the National University man-made structures. founded. STRUCTURE - Refers to anything that is constructed or ENVIRONMENTAL AND SANITARY ENGINEERING - A built from interrelated parts with a fixed location on discipline of engineering that involves planning, design, the ground. management, construction, operation, maintenance in the fields of water supply engineering, solid waste The very first shelter was made using TWIGS WITH management, sewage and wastewater engineering, VINES to support them. environmental management and engineering, plumbing, fire protection and public health engineering. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS - calculating and analyzing the GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING - An area of civil effect of loads or forces on physical structures and their engineering that focuses on the engineering behavior components. of earth materials. CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING MANAGERS - Key GROUNDWATER - Water found in cracks and pores players that bridge elements of design and under the earth, and it makes up 39% of the water used management to help push construction projects over for public supplies, and 40% of the water used for the finish line to their successful completion. agriculture. GUSTAV EIFFEL - Who helped build Eiffel Tower and GRAVEL - Pieces of rocks with occasional particles of Statue of Liberty. quartz, feldspar, and other minerals. STRUCTURAL DESIGN - Focuses more on evaluating SOIL - A naturally occurring material obtained from and inspecting the materials for the construction and weathering or decomposition or disintegration of ensuring that they can support the design set by an rocks. architect. 18TH CENTURY - When the soil design began to take on Construction engineering management is applied a theoretical and scientific edge? throughout a project's lifespan—from the initial planning stages to construction labor to PROJECT GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER - Use their knowledge to COMPLETION. determine the chemical, mechanical and physical properties of soil and rock for the design of earthworks, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT - A professional foundations and retaining structures. service that provides a project’s owners with effective management of the project's schedule, cost, quality, MUNICIPAL WATER - Water that is distributed in a lot safety, scope, and function. of urban and suburban areas. The CM Body of Knowledge and Standards of Practice EMBANKMENT - Constructed to raise the levels of the highways on the plains because there are chances of address all six areas of construction management services: schedule, cost, safety, QUALITY, function, and the floods, and it is required to keep the foundation of scope. the pavement above the water table. IMHOTEP - the first structural engineer recoded in DAMS - A structure built across a stream or river to history. hold water back. Construction engineering managers must possess a SEAWATER - The salty water that makes up the planet’s thorough understanding of laws, regulations and oceans and seas is a resource that we have if we need BUILDING CODES. it, but one that’s very difficult to use. CENTRAL OFFICE - Where does construction ROCK MECHANICS - Engineering the properties and engineering managers often work. mechanics of rocks – including the application of dynamics, fluid mechanics, kinematics and material FRITZ LEONHARDT - considered at the bridge master. mechanics. CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT - HYDRAULIC STRUCTURE - A structure submerged or Blends engineering with construction management, partially submerged in any body of water, which which is concerned with overseeing the actual disrupts the natural flow of water. construction. SOIL MECHANICS - Applying engineering mechanics to BURJ KHALIFA - structure is designed by William Baker. soils to assess their properties as well as investigating dynamics, fluid mechanics, kinematics and material SILT - The microscopic soil fractions that consist of very mechanics. fine quartz grains and some flake-shaped particles that are fragments of micaceous minerals. 2000 BCE - When the early examples of dykes, canals and dams date back LEANING TOWER OF PISA – A structure is famous with foundation-related problems? RAINWATER - Fall from the sky during precipitative weather events. A broad term for any type of water found above ground, SURFACE WATER includes lakes, rivers, FOUNDATION ENGINEERING - This brings together wetlands, reservoirs, creeks, shallow wells, and more. geology, soil and rock mechanics, and structural engineering for the design and construction of foundations for a range of civil engineering projects. One job of water resources engineers is to determine who needs CLEAN WATER and ascertain the hydraulic mechanisms necessary to distribute it. WATER - Water resources engineering is important because it deals with one of Earth’s main finite resources which is EARTHEN DAM - This structure is construction to retain the water using soil. CLAY - Mostly flake-shaped microscopic and submicroscopic particles of mica, clay minerals, and other minerals. SAND - Made of mostly quartz and feldspar. WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING - A vital subset of civil engineering that focuses on planning, building, and designing systems to both build and maintain our water resources.
