The branch of engineering which focuses on the design, maintenance and construction of the physical and naturally built environment is known as civil engineering. Some of the public works which are dealt with in this field are bridges, canals, airports, dams, roads and sewerage systems. There are various sub-disciplines within civil engineering such as environmental engineering, construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, coastal engineering and structural engineering. Construction engineering deals with planning and execution, site development and transportation of materials using principles of environmental, hydraulic and structural engineering. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of civil engineering and related fields. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
