Architectural engineering involves the application of engineering principles and techniques to the planning, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure and construction projects. This may include roads, Bridges, tunnels, DAMS, buildings and other types of structures.
Some of the key application areas of construction engineering include:
Structural engineering: This involves the design and analysis of structures to ensure that they can withstand various loads and environmental conditions.
Geotechnical engineering: focuses on the behavior of earth materials such as soil and rock and their interaction with structures.
Construction Management: This includes the planning, scheduling and coordination of construction projects to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.
Environmental Engineering: This deals with the environmental impact of construction projects and the implementation of sustainable practices.
Materials Engineering: This involves the selection and testing of building materials to ensure their suitability for a particular application.
Transportation Engineering: This field focuses on the planning, design and construction of transportation infrastructure such as roads, highways and airports
