Civil engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields, partly because it is the oldest of all engineering fields. |
 | | The main subject of the field of geotechnical engineering is concerned with foundations, soil properties, soil mechanics, compression and swelling of soils, seepage, slopes, embankments, retaining walls, ground and rock anchors, use of synthetic tensile materials in soil structures, soil-structure interaction, and soil dynamics. |
 | | Hydraulic engineering is concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water. |
