Perspectives in Civil Engineering


Book Description

This report contains 27 papers that serve as a testament to the state-of-the-art of civil engineering at the outset of the 21st century, as well as to commemorate the ASCE's Sesquicentennial. Written by the leading practitioners, educators, and researchers of civil engineering, each of these peer-reviewed papers explores a particular aspect of civil engineering knowledge and practice. Each paper explores the development of a particular civil engineering specialty, including milestones and future barriers, constraints, and opportunities. The papers celebrate the history, heritage, and accomplishments of the profession in all facets of practice, including construction facilities, special structures, engineering mechanics, surveying and mapping, irrigation and water quality, forensics, computing, materials, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, and transportation engineering. While each paper is unique, collectively they provide a snapshot of the profession while offering thoughtful predictions of likely developments in the years to come. Together the papers illuminate the mounting complexity facing civil engineering stemming from rapid growth in scientific knowledge, technological development, and human populations, especially in the last 50 years. An overarching theme is the need for systems-level approaches and consideration from undergraduate education through advanced engineering materials, processes, technologies, and design methods and tools. These papers speak to the need for civil engineers of all specialties to recognize and embrace the growing interconnectedness of the global infrastructure, economy, society, and the need to work for more sustainable, life-cycle-oriented solutions. While embracing the past and the present, the papers collected here clearly have an eye on the future needs of ASCE and the civil engineering profession.

Civil Engineering FUNDAMENTALS A REVIEW MANUAL FOR THE SAUDI FE EXAM VOLUME I


Book Description

Embark on a journey to achieve success in Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam with this two-volume review manual tailored for civil engineers in Saudi Arabia. As the Engineering Licensure becomes a pivotal milestone for professional practice, attention shifts to the FE exam. The Volume 1 encompasses structural engineering intricacies, covering Structural Analysis and Design. Additionally, it covers the fundamental aspects of Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation, and Highway Engineering from the FE exam view point. This manual seamlessly connects existing manuals with the unique demands of the Saudi FE exam, providing both theoretical insights and practical applications. In this comprehensive manual, our primary objective is to empower civil engineers and senior students by providing sample questions compliant with the Saudi Civil Engineering (SCE) standards. Specifically tailored for efficient FE exam preparation, this manual serves as an all-encompassing resource, eliminating the necessity for additional references and ensuring a solid theoretical foundation. By aligning with SCE standards, we aim to equip individuals with the tools they need to confidently tackle the FE exam, a pivotal evaluation that not only measures learning outcomes but also significantly influences ences program rankings within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Civil Engineering landscape. Your journey toward licensure takes its first decisive steps right here, where knowledge meets application in a uniquely tailored resource. Your journey to licensure begins here!

Structures and Architecture


Book Description

Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering have both experienced their own historical development, their interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persuade architects and structural engineers to further collaborate in this process, exploiting together new concepts, applications and challenges. This set of book of abstracts and full paper searchable CD-ROM presents selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Structures and Architecture Conference (ICSA2016), organized by the School of Architecture of the University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal (July 2016), to promote the synergy in the collaboration between the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering. The set addresses all major aspects of structures and architecture, including building envelopes, comprehension of complex forms, computer and experimental methods, concrete and masonry structures, educating architects and structural engineers, emerging technologies, glass structures, innovative architectural and structural design, lightweight and membrane structures, special structures, steel and composite structures, the borderline between architecture and structural engineering, the history of the relationship between architects and structural engineers, the tectonics of architectural solutions, the use of new materials, timber structures and more. The contributions on creative and scientific aspects of the conception and construction of structures, on advanced technologies and on complex architectural and structural applications represent a fine blend of scientific, technical and practical novelties in both fields. This set is intended for both researchers and practitioners, including architects, structural and construction engineers, builders and building consultants, constructors, material suppliers and product manufacturers, and other experts and professionals involved in the design and realization of architectural, structural and infrastructural projects.
