Engr we build the world. Historically, the term ‘civil engineering’
did not exist. A military engineer is
one who makes ‘machines of war’.

ORIGINS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
Civil engineering has evolved
tremendously in aspects relating to
building, designing and maintaining the
world’s built and natural environments. It is only recently that
engineers whose duties were civil and
non- military were categorized as civil
engineers to differentiate them from
military engineers. In
ancient times the bridge, waterways,
fortifications and machin

es of war were all
projects also projects undertaken by the
military engineer. Kings, Queens,
Emperors or Pharaohs required these
military building services from their
engineers in order to build massive
structures that created a powerful and
imposing image of themselves. This was
the ultimate form of self-promotion. The
reason the ‘civil’ and ‘military’ engineers
were grouped as one, was because the
techniques of designing these projects
were similar and one who worked on
military construction projects also worked
on civil projects. Also the structures such
as roads, dams, buildings and bridges
facilitated for the military agendas of
certain rulers. Definitely, before the term
civil engineer was coined, civil engineers
were in existence. Millennia ago when the
pyramids of the Mayan and Egyptian
empires were building pyramids, the
people designing and supervising the
construction of the pyramids must have
been an engineer. Certainly, those
endowed with the responsibility of
devising ways to solve the day to day
problems of construction, transportation,
water irrigation, city planning were
engineers. The engineers of the past often
worked on technical problems of their day
by using mechanics, available materials
and technicians of the day and often
worked in areas that ranged from
mechanical, military inventions to
architecture, which involved the design of
aesthetic structure and the overall shape
and form of structures.

ROLE OF PLANNING ENGINEER IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Planning Engineer plays an important role in Construction Projects to maintained work at allotting time at the age of completion.

Planning is often considered as of the key area in Project Management. The key to a Planning Engineer is to have a better understanding of the scope of work and strategic sequencing of the work in timely manner.



So, Planning Engineer is expected to do but not limited to the following:-



Study and understand the scope of work from the Drawings, BOQ and specs in order to prepare the Program of Works. We call it the “Clause 14 Program of Works” using Project Management tools such as Primavera and MSP.
1.Generate Weekly, Monthly Progress Reports.
2.Generate Executive Report for the management.
3.Prepare cash flow – time bound cost.
4.Analyze time over run and cost over run(generally done by Cost Engineers in big projects.
5.To keep a track of the project and flag the concern during short falls.
6.Prepare look ahead plan for the Ex*****on team.
7.Cross-functional coordination to ensure smooth running of the project.
8.Earned Value Analysis and Management.
9.Notify the Client/Client’s representative in change of scope.
10.Get Extension of time in case of reservation or entitlements.
11.Forensic analysis.
12.Maintain Risk Register in order to for see the possibility of occurrence and take corrective actions in conjunction with the Project Manager.
13.Act as a wing man/buddy to the Project Manager through out the course of the Project.
14.Prepare micro plan for any particular work package.
15.Chair the progress meetings and track the outcomes & deliverables.
16.Maintain Event records which shall be helpful in Claims.

Duties of Civil Engineers

Civil engineers typically do the following:
◾Analyze long range plans, survey reports, maps, and other data in order to plan projects
◾Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors in planning the stages of, and risk analysis for, a project
◾Compile and submit permit applications to local, state, and federal agencies, verifying that projects comply with various regulations
◾Perform or oversee soil testing to determine the adequacy and strength of foundations
◾Test building materials, such as concrete, asphalt, or steel, for use in particular projects
◾Provide cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project’s economic feasibility
◾Use design software to plan and design transportation systems, hydraulic systems, and structures in line with industry and government standards
◾Perform or oversee surveying operations in order to establish reference points, grades, and elevations to guide construction
◾Present their findings to the public on topics such as bid proposals, environmental impact statements, or descriptions of property
◾Manage the repair, maintenance, and replacement of public and private infrastructure

BRIDGE Components & their classifications..

Components & their classification of bridge
bridge refers to a structure that is developeid to extent over physical obstaclesas well as provide passage for the road, railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. The obstacles to be spanned may belong to a river, aroad, railway or a valley.
Designs of bridges are based on the function of the bridge, the type of the terrain where the bridge is built up and anchored, the required material for developing it, and the existing funds to constructit.
Bridges are classified in various ways.
General categories containthe type of structural elements applied, by what they bear, either they are static or transportable, and by the materials used.
Bridges are also categorized by how the forces of tension, compression, bending, torsion and shear are dispersed throughtheir structure. Maximum bridges will make use of all of the primary forces to some degree, but only a few will prevail.
In a suspension or cable-stayed span,the elements in tension will vary according to shape and placement. In other cases the forces are dispersed amid numerous members, as in a truss, or not evidently clear to acasual observer as in a box beam

Categorization of Bridges (in relation to form (or) type of superstructures)
1. Slab bridge
2. Beam bridge
3. Truss bridge
4. Arch bridge
5. Cable stayed (or)suspended bridge

Categorization of Bridges (in relation to materialof construction of superstructure)
1. Timber bridge
2. Concrete bridge
3. Stone bridge
4. R.C.C bridge
5. Steel bridge
6. P.C.C bridge
7. Composite bridge
8. Aluminum bridge

Categorization of Bridges (in relation to inter-span relationship):
1. Simply supported bridge
2. Cantilever bridge
3. Continuous bridge
of Bridges (in relation to the location of the bridge floor corresponding to superstructures):
1. Deck through bridge
2. Half through or suspension
bridge

Categorization of Bridges in relation to the method of connection of different part of superstructures:
1. Pinned connection bridge
2. Riveted connection bridge
3. Welded connection bridge

In relation to length of bridge:
1. Culvert bridge(less than 6 m)
2. Minor bridge(less than 6 m-60m)
3. Major bridge(more than 60 m)
4. Long span bridge(more than 120 m)

In relation to function:
1. Aqueduct bridge(canal over a river)
2. Viaduct(road or railway over a valley or river)
3. Pedestrian bridge
4. Highway bridge
5. Railway bridge
6. Road-cum-rail or pipe line
