Are you sure you are not confusing statics with statistics? Statics is the analysis of forces and moments of non-moving parts (Moving parts is called dynamics).
Statics is very important to civil engineering. Think about all the force and moments on a bridge.

Civil Engineering is the most broad of the engineering fields. So there are many different types of Civil Engineers, some using statistical methods more than others.
Collecting, anaylyzing, and interpreting data is important in any engineering field. Civil Engineers could not design better or safer buildings, bridges, highways, etc. if we didn't learn from the data we collected from our successes and failures.

materials used in civil engineering are large quantities of non homogeneous materials. e. g. soil and concrete. obviously any quality testing done on thes materials only tell you the characteristics at the point of testing. the only way around the problem is to take enough test to be representative then eval;uate the result statisticvally. that is obtain a statistical avergae.

sure civil engineering is a container of specialization i certainly is a civil engineer and that i'm taking part in it very lots you could flow to distinctive upon getting a level in it it has an unlimited scope

Statistics is very important in surveying and closing traverses and level loops because of the error involved in acquiring the data.
