Civil Engineering: 120 Seats

Analysis of structures is important for safe design and serviceability to resist loads coming from various sources. These loads re taken into account while designing so that the building does not fail under the application of these loads. These loads may be in the form of uniformly distributed load, concentrated load, triangular load and so on. All these have various points of application and so the center of mass is to be detected for making the calculations easy in every aspect. For example, in seismic zones, the earthquake load plays an important role which is to be considered in seismic analysis. Similarly, in some areas wind is the predominant force and it imposes load on the building which needs to be analysed before any disaster strikes. All these loads create a significant impact in performing structural analysis and any slight calculation mistakes can create life threatening situations.

What is civil engineering?

Civil engineering centres around the design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure, from bridges to flood defences, wind turbines to tunnels, and more. Civil engineers are creative problem solvers. They work in harmony with the natural environment to keep towns and cities running and to build a more sustainable world. Civil engineers work closely with infrastructure engineers.
