Basic Areas in Civil Engineering

  SURVEYING Surveying is the science of map making. To start any development activity, the relative positions of various objects in the area with respect to horizontal and vertical axes through a reference point is required. This is achieved by surveying the area. Earlier, the conventional instruments like chain, tape and leveling instruments were used. In this electronic era, modern electronic equipment like electronic distance meters (EDM) and total stations are used, to get more accurate results easily. Preparing topo maps of talukas, districts, states and countries and showing all important features like rivers, hills, forests, lakes, towns and cities in plan and elevation (by contour lines) also forms part of surveying. When maps of large areas are to be made corrections for earth curvature are to be made for all measurements. Such survey is called geodetic surveying also. CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING Construction is the major activity of civil engineering. Hence civil engineer m...
