What are the different fields in civil engineering?

Question

List them with some details with what they entail

Answer 1

civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with power plants, bridges, roads, railways, structures, water supply, irrigation, the natural environment, sewer, flood control, transportation and traffic.

some of the sub levels in it are
1 General engineering
General civil engineers work closely with surveyors and specialized civil engineers to fit and serve fixed projects within their given site, community and terrain by designing grading, drainage (flood control), pavement, water supply, sewer service, electric and communications supply and land (real property) divisions.

2 Structural engineering
structural engineering is concerned with structural design and structural analysis of structures such as buildings, bridges etc. This involves calculating the stresses and forces that affect or arise within a structure.

3 Fire protection engineering
Fire protection engineering, also called 'fire safety engineering' is the practice of application of science and engineering principles and experience to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire. The underlying branches of science are fire science, fire dynamics and chemistry.

4 Geotechnical engineering
Geotechnical engineering is primarily concerned with earth materials. Geotechnical engineers deal with foundations, soil properties, soil mechanics, compression and swelling of soils, seepage, slopes, embankments, retaining walls, ground and rock anchors, use of synthetic tensile materials in soil structures, soil-structure interaction, and soil dynamics.

5 Transportation engineering
This involves specifying, designing, constructing, and maintaining transportation infrastructure which includes streets, highways, rail systems, airports, ports, and mass transit. It includes areas such as transportation design, transportation planning, traffic engineering, urban engineering, queueing theory, pavement engineering, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and infrastructure management.

6 Environmental engineering
Among the topics covered by environmental engineering are pollutant transport, water purification, sewage treatment, and hazardous waste management. Environmental engineers can be involved with pollution reduction, green engineering, and industrial ecology

7 Hydraulic engineering
Hydraulic engineering is concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water. This area of civil engineering is intimately related to the design of pipelines, water distribution systems, drainage facilities (including bridges, dams, channels, culverts, levees, storm sewers), and canals. Hydraulic engineers design these facilities using the concepts of fluid pressure, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, and hydraulics, among others.

8 Water resources engineering
Water resources engineering is concerned with the collection and management of water (as a natural resource). As a discipline it therefore combines hydrology, environmental science, meteorology, geology, conservation, and resource management. This area of civil engineering relates to the prediction and management of both the quality and the quantity of water in both underground (aquifers) and above ground (lakes, rivers, and streams) resources

9 Construction engineering
Construction engineering involves planning and execution of the designs from transportation, site development, hydraulic, environmental, structural and geotechnical engineers.

Answer 2

There are many people who would like to work in the engineering field as the civil engineer in recent years. What would the civil engineer do? You would find some ideas here.
In the past, the field of civil engineering covered many areas. For example, there would be coverage over the use of chemicals in the field. There would also be more details about the mechanical sides. But you would probably find that things have changed in recent decades. More and more specific fields are separated from the civil engineering field. They became the chemical engineering and other specific fields. The traditional civil engineer therefore now covers fields like design and building constructions. There would be, in other words, a narrower definition of the work that the present civil engineers would do....
