Civil Engineer and Building Construction

A good civil engineer is having very big relationship with building construction. Come, first of all we talk about the term building. The dictionary meaning of building is very simple. It simply indicates anything that is built with walls and a roof. The term building in civil engineering parlance is used to mean a structure having various components like foundations, walls, columns, floors, roofs, doors, windows, ventilators, stairs, lifts, various types of surface finishes, etc. As a civil engineer is mainly concerned with the construction of buildings, it is essential for him/her to acquire good knowledge of construction of various components of a building.

The society requires the building for its various activities and accordingly, the buildings can be grouped for convenience as follows:

1. Business buildings like offices, courts, shops, banks etc.

2. Worship buildings like churches, temples, mosques etc.

3. Residential buildings such as flats, row houses, bungalows etc.

4. Recreation buildings like theatres, town halls, cinemas etc..

5. Health building like hospitals, nursing homes etc.

6. Educational buildings like schools, colleges, universities etc.

7. Storage buildings like godowns, warehouses etc.

8. Industrial buildings like factories, laboratories, workshop etc.

As far as the construction of any building is concerned, the procedures laid down for its various components are more or less the same and the engineer has to select the appropriate method for the type of building to be constructed.
