12. What does a geotechnical engineer do? Basic Civil Engineering Introduction to Civil Engineering Landfills, dams, retaining walls, pile design, buildings, bridges, and earthworks… Geotechnical engineers lay the foundation work for these types of projects . Study the behavior of the earth materials and how they will affect a structure that is to be constructed Evaluate pre-existing structures that are showing signs of problems with the earth materials under or near the structure

13. Basic Civil Engineering Introduction to Civil Engineering Transportation engineering Highway engineering Port and harbor engineering Airport engineering Railway engineering TYPES OF TRANSPORTATION?

14. Basic Civil Engineering Introduction to Civil Engineering Transportation engineering Roadways, Railways Airports , Port facilities Urban Planning Traffic control Pavement markings Intelligent Transportation Systems.

15. Basic Civil Engineering Introduction to Civil Engineering Water treatment and distribution Wastewater treatment and disposal You might be interested in Transportation Engineering if: You like working with people You like mathematics & computer simulations You can think in 3-D You’re concerned about traffic congestion

16. Basic Civil Engineering Introduction to Civil Engineering What do transportation engineers do? They design projects like the Port Miami Tunnel. This is located 40 feet underneath the ocean floor that connects multiple interstates to Port Miami reducing traffic congestion in the Miami area. By placing this connection underground (rather than using a bridge), engineers are able to protect infrastructure from frequent hurricanes in the region. Deals with planning, designing and construction of roads, bridges, railways, tunnels, harbors, ports, docks, runways, and airports. To provide safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible movement of people and goods for the development of nation. Example
