LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW Introduction (5 mins)  Since human beings appeared on the earth, they survived the severe natural environment by securing food, clothing, and shelter, and gradually improved their ways of living to become more comfortable. Generation after generation, people accumulated their experiences and improved their skills, step by step, to establish it as technology. They then kept refining their technology to engineering in general practices by applying the science and mathematics that were available at that time.  The following sections describe the process through which civil engineering emerged from engineering in general as an independent profession. From this review, characteristics of civil engineering should become evident.

B.MAIN LESSON Activity 2: Content Notes (30 mins) CIVIL ENGINEERING AS THE OLDEST ENGINEERING DISCIPLE  Engineering is one of the oldest professions in the world, and was traditionally classified into the following four primary disciplines: civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering.  The Civil Engineering is truly the oldest of engineering specialties which was developed as a profession from the techniques used in the ancient world.  Civil Engineering is a form of human activity that has been pursued ever since people first wanted to change the natural environment for their own benefit. That species of knowledge which constitutes the profession of a civil engineer; being the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of production and of traffic in states for trade, as applied in the construction of roads, bridges, aqueducts, canals, river navigation and docks, and in the construction of ports, harbors, moles, breakwaters, and lighthouses, and particular forms of construction that serve modern needs, such as airports, highways, dams, tunnels, and power stations of various types, but these are minor refinements of the general theme of civil engineer as the creator of physical infrastructure on which any level of civilization depends.

The height and the base length of the pyramid are 146.6m and 230m, respectively.  The Great Wall in China is another spectacular heritage site. The total length of the wall is at present about 2,250km, and the construction project was initiated by Shih-hung-ti, the first emperor of China, in 214 B.C. by connecting the walls that existed at that time.  There are many other sites of heritage that can be mentioned, such as the Parthenon in Greece, constructed in about 15 B.C.; the Pont du Gard, a three-layer arch bridge for the Aqueduct of Nemausus, in France, constructed in about 15 B.C.; the Colosseum in Rome constructed in 80 A.D., and the Great Canal in China Completed in 610 A.D. connecting several big rivers such as the yellow river and the Yangtze River.  Fort Santiago is a citadel that was first built by the Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and is a part of the walled city of Manila called Intramuros. Another military structure built under the command of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi is the Fuerte de San Pedro in Cebu. This historical site in the Philippines was made of wood, and immediately put up after the arrival of the Spanish explorer in order to keep the Muslim raiders away from the area.

The function of civil engineers can be divided into the following three categories, depending on the steps in construction practice: those performed before construction, during construction, and after construction.  In the first step, feasibility studies, site investigation, and design works carried out in order to make sure that the proposed project is meaningful and executable. In the second step, which is the main part of the project, closer co-operation among clients, consulting engineers, and contractors is extremely important to complete the construction projects successfully. Finally in the third step, it is, needless to say, extremely important that maintenance effort is applied to keep the structure alive, in the sense of function as well as physical quality. In addition to these three categories, investigation activities and/or research are also important to solve not only the practical problems encountered during the course of construction works, but also to gain more advanced knowledge on design and execution of construction.  The profession of civil engineering can be divided into three categories: consulting, contracting, and government (or municipal) engineering. Civil engineering itself consists of several distinct specializations, such as structures, construction, foundation, transportation, sanitation, and hydraulics. Nowadays, specialization of engineering discipline is become broader to including areas such as planning and management, remote sensing, landscape, environment, energy facilities, water management, and infrastructure systems, including national and regional planning, urban planning, telecommunication systems, and disaster prevention systems.

Structural engineers need to ensure that buildings or other structures can support their own weight as well as the weight of those who will be using them. By calculating the load that a structure is likely to encounter, structural engineers help to determine which building materials are used and how the skeleton of the structure is assembled.  Geotechnical Engineering o Geotechnical engineering is the study of the behavior of soils under the influence of loading forces and soil-water interactions. The stability of the soil and rock on which a project is built as well as its chemical composition are the main considerations of the geotechnical engineering specialty. Softer ground requires different building methods than harder ground or rock, and geotechnical engineers can prevent foundations from crumbling or damaging erosion occurring from runoff patterns on a building project’s land.  Environmental Engineer o The goal of environmental engineering is to ensure that societal development and the use of water, land and air resources are sustainable. This specialty focuses specifically on creating projects that sustain or improve the environment in which they exist. Many advances have been made in sustainability in recent years, including the use of alternative energy sources like solar, wind or water, better insulation to reduce energy usage, and plumbing fixtures that use less water, among other methods.

Having safe and adequate drinking water may be taken for granted in the industrialized nations of the world, but developing and developed nations alike need water resources engineers to build the infrastructure that provides clean water to those who depend on it for their survival.  Transportation Engineering o Transportation engineers build systems like railways, subways, roads and bridges that are used by people in traveling to work, home, or on vacation, among other destinations. It is the transportation engineer's responsibility to plan, design, build, operate and maintain these systems of transport, in such a way as to provide for the safe, efficient and convenient movement of people and goods. Safety and capacity are major considerations of transportation engineers—it doesn’t do much good to build transportation systems that aren’t safe or can’t meet the transportation needs of those who are intended to use them.  Construction Management o These civil engineers oversee a building project from start to finish, coordinating all the different professionals involved in such a project, including architects, builders, electricians, plumbers, and financiers. Much of construction management involves keeping risk to a minimum by focusing on safety and compliance with local, state and federal building codes.

LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW Introduction (5 mins)  Structural engineering — a specialty within the field of civil engineering — focuses on the framework of structures, and on designing those structures to withstand the stresses and pressures of their environment and remain safe, stable and secure throughout their use. In other words, structural engineers make sure that buildings don't fall down and bridges don't collapse.  Structural engineering is among the oldest types of engineering, dating back to the first instance of tree branches being lashed together with vines to make a shelter. Throughout recorded history, people have been designing and building increasingly larger and more sophisticated structures, from primitive huts to the International Space Station.

"In a nutshell," according to the Institution of Structural Engineers, "if a structure was a human body, then the architect would be concerned with the body shape and appearance, and the structural engineer would be concerned with the skeleton and sinews."  Structures must be able to deal with the conditions in which they are built. A house in Canada must have a roof that can bear the weight of heavy snow, a stadium in California must be able to withstand earthquakes, and a house in the Philippines must be able to withstand heavy rains and strong winds from typhoons, for example. When building bridges, designers must take into account the conditions of terrain, wind, water and traffic volume. Structural engineers consider all of these factors and provide technical advice about the project.  Structural engineers "design roof framing (beams, rafters, joists, trusses), floor framing (floor decks, joists, beams, trusses, girders), arches, columns, braces, frames, foundations and walls," according to the National Council of Structural Engineers Association. "In bridges, they design the deck — or riding surface, girders or stringers, and piers. The materials they use include steel, concrete, wood, masonry, and aluminum. Engineers design the structure to resist forces from gravity, earthquakes, high winds, water, soil, collisions and blast explosions."  Critical skills that a person needs in structural engineering include an in-depth understanding of physics and mathematics. A structural engineer must also know the properties of various materials, such as their density, hardness, tensile strength, bulk modulus and bending strength. They need to be able to calculate how different materials will perform under stresses such as compression, tension, bending and twisting, as well as under various environmental conditions of temperature, pressure, corrosive gases and liquids, and even radiation. They also need to be able to predict how these materials will perform over an extended period of time.  Structural engineers rely increasingly on computer-aided design (CAD) systems, so proficiency with computers is essential. In addition to speeding up the drafting process, CAD systems allow for quick and easy modifications of designs and three-dimensional (3D) visualization of finished parts and assemblies.

You are done with your session! Let’s track your progress! FAQs 1) What is the difference between a civil engineer and a structural engineer? a. All structural engineers are civil engineers, but not all civil engineers are structural engineers. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is a four-year bachelor’s degree course offered in colleges and universities while structural engineering is an advanced specialization after one becomes a civil engineer. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, one can proceed with postgraduate studies in structural engineering in order to specialize as a structural engineer. While both types of engineers see to it that construction projects are safe, stable and cost-effective, the work of civil engineers typically encompass overall supervision of a construction site. Structural engineers are trained to understand and calculate the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures for buildings and non-building structures.

Construction of such projects requires knowledge of management principles, business procedures and human behavior. Construction Engineers engage in the design of temporary structures, quality assurance and quality control, building and site layout surveys, on site material testing, concrete mix design, cost estimation, planning and scheduling, safety engineering, materials procurement, selection of equipment and cost engineering and budget.  The client is rarely a single person, even on relatively small projects. Is a person or organization using the services of a lawyer or other professional person or company. Within the client, there are likely to be a number of groups and individuals with an interest in, or control over the project.  Consultant, an independent person, or organization, that will provide a specialized service or expertise regarding a specific issue on a project. Normally a consultant is paid on an hourly basis and is exempt from all the insurances and liabilities of working as an employee. Consultants can be plugged into situations that are specifically suited to that consultant’s expertise. When employing consultants to perform the work, the contractor or employer, is not obligated to continue to pay the consultant after completion of their specific service. There are no long-term commitments, nor the typical issues that employers have with employees.  The contractor is person or company that undertakes a contract to provide materials or labor to perform a service or do a job.  Two Management Systems in Construction This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION P a g e | 2 of 6  CIE110: CIVIL ENGINEERING ORIENTATION Student Activity Sheet #5 Name: ______________________________________________________________ Class number: ________ Section: ____________ Schedule: _______________________________________ Date: _______________ 1. Construction managers are tasked with supervising the entire construction process of a project, making sure the building is technically sound and on budget. Some of their other responsibilities include managing subcontractors, personnel, and ensuring building codes and other regulations are followed. For a lot of construction managers who came up in the construction industry, they can be experts in building trades, like plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. Some of their day-to-day activities include hiring staff, planning work schedules, managing punch lists, buying materials, and maintaining and promoting health and safety on the job site. 2. Project Managers, unlike construction managers, project managers are tasked with having complete over sight of the entire project from the initial planning right up until the finished product is completed. Their main responsibility is to make sure the project is delivered on time and on budget, and their budgeting can include more than just the construction phase like marketing, client meetings, and other administrative tasks. The project manager essentially is a guide to the owner’s needs in a project, and works closely with contractors, designers, and engineers to ensure everything is in order to successfully complete the project.  Functions in Construction Engineering and Management 1. Project Management Planning: This involves planning the entire project and documenting all the jobs that must be completed. It helps allow for budgeting and access to materials that are required 2. Cost Management: The expenses of each project must be efficiently managed throughout the process to ensure for adjustments for unexpected issues or difficulties 3. Quality Management: A construction manager must make sure that the contractors employed for the project are completing it to a high-quality standard. Monitoring the process, costs and quality is all highly critical 4. Contract Administration: Extensive contracts with the client are all part of the project construction process. The contract provisions must be being met to ensure that all parties involved are satisfied 5.

Clay, silt, sand, rock and snow are important materials in geotechnics. Geotechnical engineering includes specialist fields such as soil and rock mechanics, geophysics, hydrogeology and associated disciplines such as geology. Geotechnical engineering and engineering geology are a branch of civil engineering.  The science of geotechnical engineering was primarily developed by the Austrian Karl Terzaghi in the early 20th century.  The specialism involves using scientific methods and principles of engineering to collect and interpret the physical properties of the ground for use in building and construction. Its practical application, e.g. foundation engineering, has come to require a scientific approach. The term geotechnics is currently used to describe both the theoretical and practical application of the discipline.  Geotechnics is applied when planning infrastructure such as roads and tunnels as well as buildings and other constructions onshore and offshore. The discipline also involves performing numerical calculations, analyzing the stability of slopes and cliffs, and assessing load-bearing capacity, settlement and deformation in man-made structures.  Research and development in geotechnical engineering is carried out to improve and further refine equipment and methods for carrying out ground surveys, o equipment and methods for surveying and testing sediment and rock samples in a laboratory, o methods for calculating and analyzing the behavior and bearing capacity of soil and rock when planning structures (buildings, bridges, dams etc.), offshore installations, tunnels and subterranean spaces, roads, railways etc., o methods for measuring, instrumenting and subsequently documenting whether buildings and other structures behave the way they were designed to.  Some form of geotechnical analysis is required on anything constructed: o on the ground, o within the ground, o in rock and o made of soil and rock.  The study of the geological material properties on a construction site are important to allow This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION P a g e | 2 of 5  CIE110: CIVIL ENGINEERING ORIENTATION Student Activity Sheet #6 Name: ______________________________________________________________ Class number: ________ Section: ____________ Schedule: _______________________________________ Date: _______________ design and construction of stable structures that: o do not settle, o deform or crack and o do not fall down due to foundation failure.  Geotechnical Engineers provides analysis for projects that include: o levees, o railroads, o dams, o ship yards, o soil retaining walls, o chemical plants, o earthen slopes, o refineries, o streams stabilization, o pipelines, o all building types, o landfills, o bridges, o communication towers, o roadways, o sewers, and o street lights, o silos.

In addition to assessing how and the best ways in which to control water as it pertains to water-related activities – such as irrigation, waste disposal and canal development – water resource engineers are also frequently involved in water management to ensure that it’s safe to drink both for humans, plants and animal usage. As previously referenced, surface water makes up about 71% of the planet, which is the equivalent of roughly 326 million cubic miles. At the same time, though, just 3% of the Earth’s water is fresh, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. And of this total, 2.5% of it is out of reach, contained in the soil, polar ice caps, the atmosphere and glaciers or too polluted to use safely.  Water resources engineers are concerned with the structures and processes related to water supplies for human consumption and the removal of water for safety. Water resource engineers may be tasked with the awesome responsibility of ensuring that the planning and management of available water supply are adequately leveraged and remain safe to use for as long as possible. They may also be involved in water treatment so that the quality of water is improved upon for various end uses, whether that’s recreationally, commercially or industrially.  Resources, by their very nature, are finite. There are only a small handful that are naturally renewable – such as wind, solar, hydro and biomass. While water may be renewable in terms of the many different ways it can be used and reused, it’s not as abundant as it once was, which many earth scientists and climatologists point to as a function of climate change.  Water resource engineers may be charged with developing new systems or processes for private or government entities that can preserve freshwater sources and find new ones. This may require the assistance of civil engineers involved as well, designing water purification methods through desalination or creating new equipment for contaminant transport when water is used for irrigation purposes. Understanding what works and what doesn’t when it comes to water resource management is often a combined effort and may involve a number of different analyses, including hydrologic, which is the study of the water cycle and directions in which it flows, which may be influenced by weather and other environmental forces.  Functions of water resources engineering include: o Planning and designing water distribution systems, sanitary and storm water collection systems, and the pumping and storage infrastructure required by these systems This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION P a g e | 2 of 4  CIE110: CIVIL ENGINEERING ORIENTATION Student Activity Sheet #7 Name: ______________________________________________________________ Class number: ________ Section: ____________ Schedule: _______________________________________ Date: _______________ o Designing highway drainage systems and conveyance structures such as culverts and bridges. o Managing floodplains and municipal streams and developing floodplain maps and management plans. o Managing rivers and reservoirs for recreation, flood control, irrigation, and other multi-use functions. o Developing groundwater resources and remediating polluted groundwater resources. o Designing the hydraulic features of new hydraulic structures such as dams, locks, hydroelectric stations, levees, erosion control measures, and many other applications.  Water resources engineering also deals with: o Sewer systems for storms and dams, spillways, floodways and wastewater. reservoirs. o Irrigation network. o Seepage control. o River engineering, including ice o Hydrology. covered rivers. o Floods, flow of mud and debris. o Hydraulic structures, including o Wave analysis.

These systems include roadways, railways, waterways, and intermodal operations. Typically, the demand is the amount of traffic (people, cars, railcars, barges) that is expected to use a particular transportation facility, while the supply is the quantity and type of infrastructure components (roadways, bridges, pavements, etc.). These systems are typically large and expensive.  Three Types of Transportation Engineering o Railway Engineering  Trains might seem quaint and old- fashioned to some, but railway systems are anything but. Commercial railway businesses require advanced technical and operational systems to carry passengers across the country or through densely populated metro areas. They also rely on these advanced systems to transport goods https://www.nae.edu/7708/HighwayDesignan dConstructionTheInnovationChallenge7708 and freight across great distances. Railway engineers -- not to be confused with the engineers who pilot trains -- must know how to plan routes and understand the complexities of busy modern rail travel. o Port and Harbor Engineering https://blogs.dxc.technology/wp-  Shipping, commercial fishing, content/uploads/2019/10/modern- passenger cruises and private sailing seaport.jpg This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION P a g e | 2 of 5  CIE110: CIVIL ENGINEERING ORIENTATION Student Activity Sheet #8 Name: ______________________________________________________________ Class number: ________ Section: ____________ Schedule: _______________________________________ Date: _______________ all require docks and harbors from which to sail and deliver goods and passengers. Engineers specializing in ports and harbors plan, design and oversee the building of wharfs, docks, piers, berthing facilities, marinas, bulkheads and seawalls. Port and harbor engineers also design, build and maintain boat-launch facilities and coastal access areas and provide inspection and survey services for seaway- transportation companies. o Airport Engineering  Airport engineers design, build, maintain and develop construction standards for commercial, private, military and civilian airports, heliports and helipads and seaplane bases. They must adhere to federal laws concerning materials, security, lighting, markings and signs. They also must take into account any wildlife dangers, http://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/140 such as birds that could interfere with 402164616-airport-ranking-newark.jpg departing or arriving flights, and stay abreast of evolving technologies related to air traffic.  Usually, to successfully implement the above-mentioned objectives, traffic engineers will be required to study an abundance of data, research, and literature on the characteristics of traffic, the operations of traffic, traffic administration, traffic planning, and the geometrical design of traffic, amongst other things. In addition to studying data, many traffic engineers will execute a number of studies that will give them the appropriate data for traffic optimization. Some (of the many) studies include: o Accident studies o Parking studies o Traffic capacity studies o Origin and destination studies o Speed studies o Traffic flow characteristics studies o Traffic volume studies  In addition to the enhancement of traffic flow, construction of roadways, and installation of road signs and lights, traffic engineers also work hard to improve traffic calming in residential areas. This includes neighborhood traffic control, traffic mitigation, neighborhood traffic safety plans, traffic abatement, roadway pavement marking, and signing plans. Believe it or not, these are efforts taken to ensure that residents are safe in their neighborhood–including children and the elderly.
