Fundamentals of Civil Engineering and Modern Structures

The Role of Civil Engineering in societal development projects is gaining more importance in recent days. The brilliance of modern civil engineering is one of the best things that we human beings have the luxury of enjoying in this world. Because without the skills and contributions of civil engineers, we would be traversing unsafe roads, entering shaky buildings, dealing with faulty telecommunications, suffering heavy traffic, walking by dangerous retaining walls, and so on. All engineering students irrespective of their branch are expected to have some information about Civil Engineering. Engineers should have basic knowledge of recent developments in the field for the construction of Roads, buildings, railways, and airports. This volume intends to give some basic information about the field of Civil Engineering, Infrastructural Engineering, Development Projects and Typical modern structural constructions. It is hoped that this book satisfies the requirement of the students studying in various educational premises, universities and engineers working in various departments.
