What is Civil Engineering ?
‘The whole of non-military engineering at the timing of the founding of the ICE in 1818, but nowexcluding chemical, electrical, electronic, marine, mechanical engineering etc…it includes airfields,bridges, canals, docks, foundations, harbours, offshore construction, railways, river basis management,roads, sewage treatment, soil mechanics, structural design, traffic engineering, tunnels, water supplyetc…’
Penguin Dictionary of Civil Engineering, Fourth Edition
‘…civil engineering (the branch of engineering concerned with the design and construction of suchpublic works as dams or bridges)…’
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=civil%20engineering
‘Civil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures andaltering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (e.g.,railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply,and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).’

‘The technical design and construction of public works (buildings, roads, harbours, public greens ...)and/or technically equivalent private (usually corporate) ones’

Estimating – Measurement Example
Bulk Earthworks 100m x 100m site – toll plaza approach – total plan area 10000 m2 Site is split level – 2 m differential at mid-point – could be sloping 100mm Topsoil 100mm unsuitable/unacceptable (US) 50% of balance is Hard Material – Granite (no weathered material) – unsuitable
in it’s natural state – 100% suitable for processing as capping/suitable Balance is suitable/acceptable (general fill) Soft Spots – 100m3 – spread evenly around the site – filled with suitable (<25m3
– US if greater) 500mm Capping (Rockfill/Hardcore) Final Surface – Formation – Average level plus 1 m Ignore transition detail Assume no Bulking
