Elements Of Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways. Civil engineers often specialize in one of a number of technical areas. And this study material has deep explanation of these topic. This useful Civil Engineering study content lists 60 topics with detailed notes, diagrams, equations, formulas & course material, the topics are listed in 5 chapters.
