Excerpt from Life and Times of a Civil Engineer: Supplemented by the True Theory of the Mississippi River Should the Life and Times be read by any of my civil engineering acquaitances, I trust that they may wish, and hope for me, pleasant and profitable success in determining, for my chief (Mr. Sylvanus Miller), a good location of the Ferro Carril del Norte, in Guatemala - for which country I propose embarking before this little book shall be given to the public. The true theory of the Mississippi river is Mr. Charles Ellet's; and my sole purpose in making such liberal extracts from his great work, is to call the attention of the United States Congress to it in its entirety, that they may be convinced that the Mississippi river problem can be best, most economically, and permanently solved, by outlets, levees, and reservoirs.

An Introduction to Civil Engineering is intended for students and anyone with an interest in civil engineering . It begins with an introduction to the engineering field as a whole and also provides background information into the history of civil engineering from the ancient times to the present. The text explores the lives of the great civil engineers in history. Readers are also introduced to how great structures were built, the challenges that were faced and the significance of these past achievements to construction today. Construction materials have evolved with time and those progresses are highlighted here. An introduction to the basic types of engineering documents, the nature of multidisciplinary teams, structural and transportation engineering are explored in some detail. The final chapters are concerned with the general process of involved in civil engineering projects from the conceptual to final stages. Here you will find a general description of what motivates safe practices in the workplace and what criteria are used to select a builder. The final chapter very briefly highlights what needs to be done by young graduates and professionals to succeed in the field as a civil engineer.

In the summer of 1893, at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, an engineering marvel was unveiled and immediately captured the world s attention. It was a towering, web-like giant wheel, standing upright and rotating high above the city. Several stories taller than any existing American building, the Ferris Wheel carried adventure-seeking passengers to the dizzying height of 264 feet and provided panoramic views never before possible. George W. G. Ferris Jr. and his wheel helped usher America eager to identify itself with ingenuity, entrepreneurialism, and innovation into the 20th century. Yet the very wheel that came to define George Ferris in the end consumed him, leaving him ruined. This book is the first full-length biography of George Ferris. He was a civil engineer, an inventor, and a pioneer for his development of structural steel in bridge building. Circles in the Sky chronicles the life of the man responsible for creating, designing, and building the Ferris Wheel, the only structure of its time to rival the Eiffel Tower. It is, at the same time, the story of the Ferris clan, one of the nation s oldest and most fascinating families. The London Eye, erected in 1999 to welcome the new millennium, the Star of Nanchang, and most recently, the Singapore Flyer, have revived our love affair with Ferris wheels. Circles in the Sky will enchant anyone interested in engineering marvels, history, and the Ferris wheel, which reminds us that America was built by dreamers and innovators such as George W. G. Ferris Jr. About the Author Richard G. Weingardt, P.E., Dist.M.ASCE, is a practicing structural engineer with nearly 50 years of experience. He is also a sought-after motivational speaker and an accomplished author of books and articles, including Engineering Legends: Great American Civil Engineers (ASCE Press, 2005) and regular columns in Structural Engineer and ASCE s Journal of Leadership and Management in Engineering.

Civil Engineering is the component of Encyclopedia of Physical Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Civil Engineering is the oldest of the engineering specialties and has contributed very much to develop our society throughout the long history of human life. The advancement of civil engineering has, therefore, been closely related to that of civilization. In this theme, human activities on the earth from ancient times to the present are briefly reviewed first, and then the history of the process to establish the civil engineering discipline is discussed for better understanding of the important role that civil engineering has played in the growth of a mature society, from both technological and social points of view. Broad diversification of civil engineering has resulted from the enormous expansion of society during the latter half of the twentieth century. The various branches are briefly described to show the notable characters that civil engineering has formed to maintain the sustainable development of society. The Theme on Civil Engineering with contributions from distinguished experts in the field provides the essential aspects and fundamentals of civil engineering. The two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College Students Educators, Professional Practitioners, Research Personnel and Policy Analysts, Managers, and Decision Makers, NGOs and GOs.
