Civil Engineering: Design, Construction and Maintenance of Buildings : Larsen and Keller Education : 9781641723954 : 1641723955 : 22 Sep 2020 : Civil engineering focuses on the design, maintenance and construction of the physical and naturally built environment. It is a branch of engineering that deals with public works such as roads, bridges, dams, canals, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, airports, structural components of buildings and railways. Some of the sub-disciplines of civil engineering are coastal engineering, earthquake engineering, forensic engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, construction engineering and environmental engineering. Coastal engineering deals with the specific demands which arise during the construction at or near the coast, along with the development of the coast itself. Earthquake engineering is concerned with the designing of structures which are expected to withstand hazardous earthquake exposures. This book outlines the pr
