Basically, civil engineers are concerned with the planning, design and construction of buildings, transporation facilities and other structures required for human health, safety and welfare. A major part of their job relates to achieving a coherent relationship between the “built environment” and the “natural environment.” They are required to fulfil this function within the framework of constraints imposed by the present day building codes, union regulations and economic considerations. This survey concerns itself mostly with the general civil engineering reference books and some selected sources on specialized topics like construction engineering, foundation engineering, structural engineering, highway and dam engineering and codes and specifications. A forthcoming survey will deal with the major area of environmental and sanitary engineering. You can also find out more about Emerald Engage.

Many emerge from the realm of engineering and hence the relevance of “engineering” or “technical” expert testimony to this manual. Indeed, a great deal has been written and discussed about this matter and arguments made for why science and engineering are either similar or different. It is a conversation that resonates among philosophers, historians, “scientists,” “engineers,” politicians, and lawyers. Apparently even Albert Einstein had a point of view on this issue as attested to by the above quotation. Perhaps this deceptively attractive dichotomy is best resolved by recognizing that at the end of the day engineering and science can be as different as they are alike. Consider, for instance, the notion that engineering is nothing more than “applied science.” This is a too often recited, simple and uninformed view and one that has long been discredited. 5 Indeed, it is not the case that science is only about knowing and experimentation, and that engineering is only about doing, designing, and building. These are false asymmetries that defy reality. The reality is that who is in science or who is in engineering or who is doing science or who is doing engineering are questions to be answered based on the merit of accomplishments and not on pedigree alone. One also can consider the technological context in which engineering is practiced as in the case of nanotechnology, aerospace engineering, biotechnology, green buildings, or clean energy. It is pointless to list titles of engineering disciplines because such a list would be incomplete and not stand the test of time as disciplines come and go, merge, diverge, and evolve. Bioengineering, biochemical engineering, molecular engineering, nanoengineering, and biomedical engineering are relative newcomers and have emerged in response to discoveries in the sciences that underlie biological and physiological processes.
Software engineering and financial engineering are two other examples of disciplines that have developed in recent years. Names of disciplines are at best imprecise descriptors of the activities taking place within those disciplines and ought not to be relied on for accurate characterizations of pursuits that may or may not be occurring within them. Indeed, there are software engineers, hardware engineers, financial engineers, and management engineers. There is no shortage of adjectives here. No longer can we rely on discipline names to inform us of specific enterprises and activities. There is, after all, nothing wrong with this as long as it is recognized that they ought not be used as reliable descriptors to subsume all possible activities that might be occurring within a domain. One must reach into a domain and investigate what kind of engineering is being conducted and resist the temptation to draw conclusions based on name only. Doing otherwise could easily lead to an unreliable and inaccurate characterization. In situations where proximate cause is an issue, the trier of fact can benefit from a thorough understanding of the mechanics that created an injury. The engineering and scientific communities are increasingly called on to provide expert testimony that can assist courts and juries in coming to this type of understanding. What qualifies an individual to offer expert opinions in this area is often a matter of dispute. As gatekeepers of admission of scientific evidence, courts are required to evaluate the qualifications of experts offering opinions regarding the physical mechanics of a particular injury. As pointed out earlier, however, this gatekeeping function should not rise and fall on whether a person is referred to or refers to himself or herself as a scientist or engineer.
The traditional role of the physician is the diagnosis (identification) of injuries and their treatment, not necessarily a detailed assessment of the physical forces and motions that created injuries during a specific event. The field of biomechanics (alternatively called biomechanical engineering) involves the application of mechanical principles to biological systems, and is well suited to answering questions pertaining to injury mechanics. Biomechanical engineers are trained in principles of mechanics (the branch of physics concerned with how physical bodies respond to forces and motion), and also have varying degrees of training or experience in the biological sciences relevant to their particular interest or expertise. This training or experience can take a variety of forms, including medical or biological coursework, clinical experience, study of real-world injury data, mechanical testing of human or animal tissue in the laboratory, studies of human volunteers in non-injurious environments, or computational modeling of injury-producing events. For example, qualified experts may have one or more advanced degrees in mechanical engineering, bioengineering, or related engineering fields, the basic sciences or even may have a medical degree. The court’s role as gatekeeper requires an evaluation of an individual’s specific training and experience that goes beyond academic degrees. In addition to academic degrees, practitioners in biomechanics may be further qualified by virtue of laboratory research experience in the testing of biological tissues or human surrogates (including anthropomorphic test devices, or “crash-test dummies”), experience in the reconstruction of real-world injury events, or experience in computer modeling of human motion or tissue mechanics. A record of technical publications in the peer-reviewed biomechanical literature will often support these experiences.
Such an expert would rely on medical records to obtain information regarding clinical diagnoses, and would rely on engineering and physics training to understand the mechanics of the specific event that created the injuries. A practitioner whose expe- All the “science” explaining a solution to a problem need not be known before an engineer can solve a problem. Their history goes back several thousand years and their utility forged the beginning of the industrial revolution late in the seventeenth century. It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that the science of thermodynamics began to gain a firm ground and offer explanations for the how and why of steam power. 6 In this instance, technology came first—science second. This, of course, is not always the case, but demonstrates that one does not necessarily precede the other and notions otherwise ought to be discarded. So here the problem was one of wanting to produce mechanical motions from a heat source, and engineers designed and built systems that did this even though the science base was essentially nonexistent. This, of course, was driven by the desire of humans to fly, a problem already solved in nature since the time of the dinosaurs but one that had eluded humankind for tens of thousands of years. Practical solutions to this problem began to emerge with the Wright brothers’ first motive-powered flight and continued into the twentieth century before the “science” of fluid flow over wing structures had been fully elucidated. Once that happened, wings could be designed to reduce drag and increase lift using a set of “first principles” rather than relying solely on the results of empirical testing in wind tunnels and prototype aircraft. 7 Whether a science base exists or only partially exists is just one of a myriad of constraints that shapes the process.
It has been said, and possibly overstated, but it does make the point, that if engineers waited until scientists completed their work, they might well still be starting fires with flint stones. In so doing an engineer must contend with uncertainty and be comfortable with it. In very few instances will everything be known that is required to proceed with a project. Assumptions need to be made and here it is critical that the engineer understand the difference between what is incidental and what is essential. There are excellent assumptions, good assumptions, fair assumptions, poor assumptions, and very bad assumptions. Along this spectrum the engineer must carefully pick and choose to make those assumptions that ensure the robustness, safety, and utility of a design without undue compromise. This is the sort of wisdom that comes from experience and is not often well honed in the novice engineer. Yet it is this very uncertainty that lies at the heart of technological innovation and is not to be viewed as so much a weakness as it is a strength. To overcome uncertainty in design under the burden of constraints is the hallmark of great design, and although subtle and not always well understood by those who seek precision (i.e., why can’t you define your error rate?), this is the way the world works and one must accept it for what it is. Assumptions and approximations are key elements of the engineering enterprise and must be regarded as such. And as with all things, hindsight might suggest that a particular assumption or approximation was not appropriate. Even so, given what was known, it may well have been the right thing to do at the time it was made. Buildings constructed in Los Angeles in the 1940s would never be built there in the same way now. We have a much better understanding of earthquakes and the forces they exert on structures now than then.
Airbags were not placed in automobiles until recently because we did not have cost-effective systems and materials in place to accurately measure deceleration and acceleration forces, trigger explosives, contain It is unavoidable that as we learn from new discoveries about the natural world and accumulate more experience with our designed systems, products, and infrastructure, engineers will be in an increasingly better place to move forward with improved and new designs. It is both an evolutionary and a revolutionary process, one that produces both failures and successes. Surprisingly, although products designed using it can be incredibly complex, the general tenets of the design process are relatively simple, and are illustrated in Figure 1. The concept is refined through research, appropriate goals and constraints are identified, and one or more prototypes are constructed. Although confined to a sentence here, this stage can take a significant amount of time to complete. The process is iterative, as faults identified during the testing phase manifest themselves as changes in the concept, and the testing and evaluation process is restarted after having been reset to a higher point on the learning curve. As knowledge is gained with each iteration, the design progresses and is eventually validated, although as alternative solutions are considered, it is possible that certain undesirable characteristics in the design cannot be completely mitigated through changes in design and should be guarded against to minimize their impact on safety or other constraints. A classic example of this step in the design process is the installation of a protective shield over the blade in a table saw; although the saw may have the unwanted characteristic of cutting fingers or arms, the blade clearly cannot be eliminated (designed out) in a functioning product. As a last resort, anomalies that cannot be designed out or guarded against can be addressed through warnings.
Not every design is amenable to guarding or warning, but instead the iterative process of testing and prototype revision is relied Indeed, in some instances, an acceptable design solution cannot be found and the work is abandoned. The latter type of evaluation is often denoted as end-use testing, and is very effective in identifying faults in the prototype. Because many designs cannot be evaluated over their anticipated life cycle because of time constraints (a product expected to last for 20 years cannot be tested for 20 years in the development process), the testing For example, if it is known that a pressure vessel will see 50,000 cycles over a 10-year lifetime, those cycles can be performed in several months and the resultant effects on vessel performance established.
