1. Багато стародавніх конструкцій існують і досить, тому що вони були побудовані міцніше у порівнянні із сучасними стандартами. 2. Цивільне будівництво займається проектуванням і будівництвом об’єктів, які є стаціонарними, наприклад, будинки, будівлі, дамби, тунелі, мости, канали. 3. Професійний інженер-будівельник має університетську освіту з математики, природничих наук і однієї з інженерних спеціальностей. 4. Проекти і системи цивільного будівництва підлягають оцінці їх екологічного впливу на забруднення повітря та інші природні ресурси. 5. Поживні речовини, які раніше виносилися рікою, почали затримуватися дамбою і як результат, косяки риб зникли з дельти Нілу. 6. При проектуванні мосту такі змінні величини, як дія тиску води на фундамент, вплив різних сил вітру та багато інших факторів мають бути враховані. 7. У космічних програмах інженери-будівельники необхідні, щоб проектувати та будувати такі конструкції, як пускові платформи та споруди для зберігання ракет. |
