Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. It is considered the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. Civil engineering can take place in the public sector from municipal public works departments through to federal government agencies, and in the private sector from locally based firms to global Fortune 500 companies. History Civil engineering as a discipline Civil engineering is the application of physical and scientific principles for solving the problems of society, and its history is intricately linked to advances in t ...

Črni Kal Viaduct
The Črni Kal Viaduct ( sl, Viadukt Črni Kal) is the longest and the highest viaduct in Slovenia. It is located on the A1 motorway above the Osp Valley near the village of Gabrovica, about east of Koper. It is named after the village of Črni Kal. The viaduct is long and is mounted on 11 Y-shaped columns (its distinguishing feature), the highest reaching . The viaduct was designed by Janez Koželj and Marjan Pipenbaher Marjan Pipenbaher (born 22 August 1957) is a Slovenian structural engineer and bridge specialist. Career Pipenbaher graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Maribor in 1981. From 1980, he worked at the Gradis Design Offic ..., who was also its constructor. The construction work began in 2001 and the viaduct was opened for traffic on 23 September 2004. When almost completed in May 2004, it served as a stage of the Giro d'Italia race.

Bridge Engineers
A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) without blocking the way underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs of bridges, each serving a particular purpose and applicable to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on factors such as the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, and the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge (dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese) is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use. Etymology The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' traces the origin of the wo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Kömürhan Bridge, or with its other name, İsmet Paşa Bridge, is a box-girder bridge that carries the Elazığ-Malatya highway over the Euphrates River in eastern Turkey. It was constructed using the balanced cantilever technique. The bridge was constructed to replace a 100 m long concrete arch bridge built by the Swedish company Nydqvist & Holm AB NOHAB (Nydqvist & Holm AB) was a manufacturing company based in the city of Trollhättan, Sweden. History The company was founded by Antenor Nydqvist, Johan Magnus Lidström and Carl Olof Holm in 1847 as ''Trollhättans Mekaniska Verkstad'' as ..., costs 110 million Turkish lira as the money of that time, and opened on 5 October 1932, which was flooded with the completion of the Karakaya Dam. The new bridge was built by the STFA Group between 23 February 1983 and 8 April 1986. Kömürhan Bridge is between Malatya Province and Elazığ Province.

Pedestrian And Cycle Bridge In Tremerje
The pedestrian and cycle bridge in Tremerje is a bridge on a new cycle route between Celje and Laško in Slovenia. The bridge, which crosses the Savinja, also provides access for pedestrians and cyclists from the Rifengozd area to the bus stop along the main road in Tremerje and to connect the two settlements. Basic data The bridge is designed with one span of length , the total length of the structure is . The main steel structure was designed as a space truss structure consisting of two longitudinal circular hollow profiles at the top and the bottom. The composite slab is designed as a reinforced concrete slab with a thickness of . Cycle route The cycling connection between Celje and Laško mostly runs along the left bank of the Savinja river, partly along existing local roads and public paths. In addition to the construction of a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists near Tremerje, the arrangements included the construction of a cycling path and pedestrian corridors, the ...

Tel Aviv–Jerusalem Railway
The Tel Aviv–Jerusalem railway (also higher-speed railway to Jerusalem, Plan A1, and Railway 29) is a railway line connecting the city of Tel Aviv in Israel with Jerusalem. The line serves as the main rail link between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, complementing the old Jaffa–Jerusalem railway. As such, the railway is often referred to in Israel as the ''high-speed railway to Jerusalem'' to distinguish it from the older, longer and slower line. In spite of that name, the line is not high-speed under the definition used by the International Union of Railways: both its design speed of and its current operation speed of are below the threshold used by the UIC to define high-speed railways, and it is traversed by IR's regular rolling stock instead of the UIC requirement for specially-designed high-speed trains. The newly constructed railway section to Jerusalem branches off from the Tel Aviv–Lod railway at the Ganot Interchange southeast of Tel Aviv and spans about 56 ...
