Civil engineering has been considered as the oldest engineering discipline and profession in the world. It is one of the major branch of engineering alongside of Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, and Aerospace. This field has been around for many centuries since human have the knowledge to build a structure to facilitate their needs. Ancient lore had shown that it started from the construction of shelter (providing comfort and protection) and further advanced to major public works such as roads, bridges, tunnels, large public buildings and monuments.

What Exactly Is Civil Engineering?

Nowadays our infrastructure increased, thus include airports, dams, railroads, harbors, water supply system, water and effluent treatment plants, drainage and sewage system, landfills, and many other facilities. Do look around you and you will know…perhaps wondering or fascinate of our own creations…

Now let us look of the major divisions in Civil Engineering which is distinguish within it’s specialize field. In this field, you could choose between these discipline namely as  – environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, water resources, coastal, and construction. With more advancement in technology and studies, new division introduced such as material, forensic, safety and health, and survey.

Who’s behind the wonderful structures around us? The personal equipped with an adequate knowledge of theoretical and practical in civil engineering called Civil Engineers. They design and supervise the whole construction projects – designing, planning and managing. He or she must also consider many factors in the design process, from the construction costing and project time frame, to government regulations and possible environmental hazards such as natural disasters.

Furthermore, civil engineers also help to safeguard our environment by assisting in the cleaning up of existing pollution and finding ways to lessen it from our air, land and water. Therefore, Civil Engineers give us the Comfort and Quality of Life!

Dear respective readers, welcome to my blog called Civil Craft Structures. In this niche blog, I’m interested to share from my point of view in terms of knowledge and experience. I’m also dedicating this blog to civilization awesome builders in the field of Civil Engineering and Construction. But before we go any further, allow me to brief on the title as introduction of this blog.

Civil

In general it refers to civil people, the citizen of a country. An earliest territory occupied by a group of people, then comes the earliest civilization with a leader that possessed the power to govern them. With the advancement of technology, more roles developed to find a better solution of quality life.

Civil engineering, considered as one of the earliest human profession on our planet as it is the result of an ancient structures that still stand against time until today. This is the genuine proof of the earliest human achievement through man-made structures. Civil Engineers are the forefront of technology for mankind.

Craft

In general it refers to the skilled practice of a practical occupation. The civil engineers acted as the craftsman of its design and ensuring the workmanship of its creation throughout construction period.

Man-made structures crafted from various types of construction material. Ancient times usually used stones, woods, etc. In modern days, the commonly and widely used materials are cement, aggregate, and sand.

Structures

In general it refers to a thing constructed varied from small to complex construction or entity. Basically the structure consist series of small or large composition formed together as one unit.

Civil engineered structures are mainly buildings, bridges, dams, airports, harbors, as well as roads, railroads, and tunnels. Nowadays, the engineers will not only limit themselves to the needs of the people but more likely as an artist of its creativity.
