Glossary
What is civil engineering?
Civil Engineering is a discipline dedicated to the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of physical infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, dams, and water supply systems. Civil engineers play a crucial role in creating and sustaining the built environment around us.
These professionals apply knowledge in mathematics, physics, geosciences, and materials to develop projects that meet society’s needs. They must consider factors such as safety, sustainability, economic efficiency, and environmental impact.
In addition to the technical aspect, civil engineering involves management and leadership skills, as it involves collaboration with architects, urban planners, contractors, etc.
What kind of problems does a civil engineer solve?
Urban Planning: Civil engineers collaborate in the development of sustainable urban projects, considering efficient land use, public transportation, and the community’s quality of life.
Structural Design: They design structures such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels, ensuring they are safe, durable, and able to withstand different weather conditions and loads.
Water Resources Management: They develop water supply, sewage treatment, and drainage systems to ensure access to clean water and address issues related to flooding.
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction:
what sets them apart?
Rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings are distinct approaches to dealing with existing structures that may require improvements.
BUILDING REHABILITATION
Rehabilitation involves the renovation and improvement of existing buildings, preserving their original structure whenever possible. Key characteristics include:
Structure Preservation: The primary focus is on maintaining the structural and architectural integrity of the building, conducting repairs and enhancements without significantly altering its original form.
Functional Updating: Rehabilitation often focuses on modernizing facilities and systems to meet current standards of functionality, energy efficiency, and safety.
Historical Preservation: In historic buildings, rehabilitation aims to preserve architectural and cultural characteristics while incorporating modern technologies to meet contemporary needs.
