CEE 4100 TEST 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | SOLVED
100% CORRECT!!
What percent of civil engineers work for the construction industry? Answer -
11% *
environmental/water quality Answer - 1) apply fluid mechanics, biology and
chemistry to the design and operation of environmental control systems, eg,
municipal & industrial wastewater systems
2) model & monitor the movement and behavior of water and air pollutants
geotechnical Answer - 1) analysis of soil and rock that affect the behavior of
structures, pavements, underground facilities, and containment structures for
solid and liquid wastes
2) design foundation, retaining walls, roadway cuts, etc
3) field and lab work along w design
hydraulic Answer - 1) analysis and design of systems to transport liquids
2) small and large systems of pipes as well as engineered and natural channels
3) hydraulic machinery such as pumps and turbines, hydraulic controls such as
valves and weird, and hydraulic structures such as dams and spillways
structural Answer - 1) Design and analysis of all man-made objects whose
primary function is load resistance, eg, buildings, bridges, aircraft, transmission
towers, radar domes and antennas, drilling platforms, etc
, 2) Must also consider the economics, esthetics and social implications of their
creations
surveying Answer - 1) precisely locate and layout engineering projects
2) GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and GPS(Global positioning systems)
involving satellites are two new technologies being widely used in surveying as
well as lasers and aerial photography
transportation Answer - 1) Movement of persons and goods
2) Planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of various
transportation modes
3) Regulation and accommodation of driver/operators, passengers, goods and
vehicles
water resources Answer - 1) development, use and management of world's
water resources
2) design water distribution systems, wells, reservoirs, canals, locks and dams,
port facilities and flood control systems
3) Analyze the impact of other engineering projects on the natural hydrologic
system
construction Answer - 1) integrates design knowledge into an execution plan
2) management of construction resources: labor, materials, equipment, money
and time
construction industry statistics Answer - -$950 billion total annual volume
- 8% of US GDP
- Overall production dropped 6-8%
- 80% of projects are privately financed
