solu on RATED A+ NEWEST EDITION
What percent of civil engineers work for the construc on industry? - Ans 11% *
environmental/water quality - Ans 1) apply fluid mechanics, biology and chemistry to the
design and opera on of environmental control systems, eg, municipal & industrial wastewater
systems
2) model & monitor the movement and behavior of water and air pollutants
geotechnical - Ans 1) analysis of soil and rock that affect the behavior of structures,
pavements, underground facili es, and containment structures for solid and liquid wastes
2) design founda on, retaining walls, roadway cuts, etc
3) field and lab work along w design
hydraulic - Ans 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 - Ans 1) Design and analysis of all man-made objects whose primary func on is load
resistance, eg, buildings, bridges, aircra,, transmission towers, radar domes and antennas,
drilling pla-orms, etc
2) Must also consider the economics, esthe cs and social implica ons of their crea ons
surveying - Ans 1) precisely locate and layout engineering projects
,2) GIS (Geographic Informa on Systems) and GPS(Global posi oning systems) involving
satellites are two new technologies being widely used in surveying as well as lasers and aerial
photography
transporta on - Ans 1) Movement of persons and goods
2) Planning, design, construc on, maintenance and opera on of various transporta on modes
3) Regula on and accommoda on of driver/operators, passengers, goods and vehicles
water resources - Ans 1) development, use and management of world's water resources
2) design water distribu on systems, wells, reservoirs, canals, locks and dams, port facili es and
flood control systems
3) Analyze the impact of other engineering projects on the natural hydrologic system
construc on - Ans 1) integrates design knowledge into an execu on plan
2) management of construc on resources: labor, materials, equipment, money and me
construc on industry sta s cs - Ans -$950 billion total annual volume
- 8% of US GDP
- Overall produc on dropped 6-8%
- 80% of projects are privately financed
- 20% are paid by various public agencies
Average number of employees per firm in the construc on industry? - Ans 9.5 *
construc on vs manufacturing - Ans Construc on:
-Worksites are not permanent
-Finished product is unique
, -Requires highly skilled cra,smen
-Capital is locked (more risk)
-Operators are subject to weather
-Owner is typically highly involved
Manufacturing:
-Products designed and produced with a designated purchaser
-Manufacturing: smaller units, larger batches
-Manufacturing: easy to adver se
The Construc on project - Ans -"A temporary endeavor to create a unique evolving project or
service"
-products typically designed without a purchaser
-tailed to suit its environment
-arranged to perform its own func on
-designed to reflect personal tastes and preferences
-each project has a beginning/end
construc on engineering and management - Ans -"Applica on of knowledge, skills, tools and
techniques to project ac vi es in order to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and expecta ons
from a project"
-stakeholders have different needs (iden fied) and expecta ons (uniden fied)
construc on of project lifecycle - Ans Feasible analysis, conceptual planning, detailed scope
defini on, project execu on, opera ons
lifecycle of a building - Ans 1. Front end planning (business planning and scope)
2. Feasibility study
