Latest Trends in Civil Engineering
Journal Title: Current Trends in Civil & Structural Engineering (CTCSE) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Latest developments in civil engineering will have a tremendous impact in the coming years as this field of core engineering is spanning from the day to day life of the society such as the field of infrastructure, which include buildings, roads, bridges for instance to the more sophisticated fields such as aerospace, energy, transportation etc., In the last few decades the civil engineering land scape has been undergone many changes due to the advent of computers and computing power, wherein the designs were moved from physical drawing boards to the computer screens. The designs were impacted beyond imagination as the three-dimensional (3D) viewing software packages became accessible to the design firms so that the users could view, feel, and even could provide suggestions before the designs were implemented and built.
