Evolution of Civil Engineering

The document discusses the evolution of civil engineering from ancient times when humans first used shelters and tools to cross rivers, through developments like the Great Wall of China and bridges in ancient Rome, to modern structures like the Burj Khalifa and new technologies being developed like self-healing concrete and 3D printed structures. It traces major developments and innovations in building techniques and materials over time that have shaped civil engineering and allowed engineers to create ever more advanced structures. In conclusion, the document emphasizes that civil engineering will continue to be important for human development as engineers seek new solutions and ways to improve construction and management processes.

INTRODUCTION
EVOLUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

It is difficult to determine the history of emergence and


beginning of civil engineering, However, that the history of
civil engineering is a mirror of the history of human beings
on this earth. Man used the old shelter caves to protect
themselves of weather and harsh environment, and used a
tree trunk to cross the river, which being the demonstration
of ancient age civil engineering.

Civil Engineering has been an aspect of life since the


beginnings of human existence. Until modern times there was
no clear distinction between civil engineering and
architecture, and the term engineer and architect were mainly
geographical variations referring to the same person, often
used interchangeably.

ROME'S BRIDGE

First bridges date back to

1-22 century Rome

Bridge mainly made of

stone

Smaller bridges made by

wood and rope

Most bridges were Arch

Elliptical Arches were

14-17 CENTURY

Bartolomeo Ammannati

(Italian acrhitect)

innovate elliptical arch to

be more sturdy and it has

been used in modern

bridges.

Suspension bridges are

CONCLUSION

As we have seen, civil engineering has been and


will continue to be a key factor in the development
of the human race.

Civil engineers have been, are, and will be


continually looking for new and specific
components and materials for construction,
improving building and management process as
they go along
