Career in Civil EngineeringAs a CE, you generally would work in one of the following areas:

 In Private Practice: Plans, designs, constructs and operates physical works and
facilities used by the public.

 In Academia: Teaches students the fundamentals of civil engineering. Also involved


in research in order to advance the state-of-the-art.

 In Public Practice: Involved in city and/or regional planning, layout and construction
of highways and pipelines.

 In Combination with other Disciplines: A Civil Engineering degree combined with an


other degree such as: Engineering Geologist, Engineering Economist, or
Engineer/Attorney

Profession in Civil Engineering

As a CE, you generally would be a :

 Site Project

 Project Manager

 Structural Engineer

 Researcher

 Bridge Engineer

 Highway Engineer

 Water Resources Engineer

 Transportation Planner ….etc

 Komponen vektor

 Every vector can be broken into two parts, one vector with magnitude in the x-direction
and one with magnitude in the y-direction.

 Determine these two components for structural analysis.

Stuctural analiysis problem

• Calculate the internal member forces on this nutcracker truss if the finger is pushing down
with a force of eight newtons.

• Highway engineering is the branch of civil engineering 

• concerned with design of pavement structure, design of geometric alingment for


safe highways and road.
• Highway engineering became popular after the World War in 20th Century

Scope of Work

 Pavement Engineering Design

 Asphalt Testing Material

 Geometric for Alignment Design

Road Constructio

Classification :

1. Flexible Pavement

2. Rigid Pavement

3. Composite

Rigid pavements. Those which are surfaced with portland cement concrete (PCC). These
types of pavements are called "rigid" because they are substantially stiffer than flexible
pavements due to PCC's high stiffness.

 Composite. Those which are surfaced with portland cement concrete (PCC) and bituminous /
asphalt materials as overlay construction

Vertical and Horizontal Alignment


basic geometric elements of road design, including: chainage, profile grades, vertical curves,
circular and spiral curves, and superelevation

 Highway Engineering

Learn about :

 Pavement design

 Geometric Design

 Material design & testing (for Lab. activities )

 Community cohesion: Where highways are created through existing communities, there can
be reduced community cohesion and more difficult local access. Consequently property
values have decreased in many cutoff neighborhoods, leading to decreased housing quality
over time.

 Noise Pollution  Highways generate more roadway noise thanarterial streets due to the
higher operating speeds.
 Air Pollution issues  Highways may contribute fewer emission than arterials carrying the
same vehicle volumes.

 HOV ( high Occupancy vehicle ) lanes

Classification :

2. Rigid Pavement

3. Composite

4. Flexible pavements. Those which are surfaced with bituminous / asphalt materials. These
types of pavements are called "flexible" since the total pavement structure bends or deflects
due to traffic loads. A flexible pavement structure is generally composed of several layers of
materials which can accommodate this "flexing".

Structural engineering is a field of engineering 

that deals with the design of a structural design (s)with the purpose of supporting
and resisting various loads.

That concerned with the structural design and structural analysis of buildings,
bridges, and other structures. This involves calculating the stresses and forces that act upon
or arise within a structure, and designing the structure to successfully resist those forces and
stresses. Resistance to wind and seismic loadings, especially performance near resonant
frequencies , which affect the overall stability of a structure, are major design concerns.
Other factors such as durability and cost are also considered.

Scope of Work

 Mass Transport

 Sustainable transport

 Transportation facilities

 Modeling/design

Sustainable Transportation

The concept of sustainable transport is a reaction to some of the things that have gone
radically and visibly wrong with transportation policy , practice and performance over the
last half of the twentieth century in particular (unsustainable resource take, energy
profligacy, pollution, declining service levels despite increasing investments, poor service for
specific social and economic groups).
