Tennessee Valley Authority civil engineers monitoring hydraulics of a scale model of Tellico Dam. 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 ...
The Engineering and Technology History Wiki (ETHW) is a MediaWiki-based website dedicated to the history of technology. [1] It started operating in 2015. It consists of articles, first-hand accounts, oral histories, landmarks and milestones. [2]
It covers several fields including structural engineering, civil engineering, city growth and population growth, which are relatives to branches of technology, science, history, and architecture. The fields allow both modern and ancient construction to be analyzed, as well as the structures , building materials , and tools used.
Concrete is typically used in commercial buildings and civil engineering projects, for its strength and durability. Concrete is a mix of cement and water plus an aggregate such as sand or stone. Its compression strength means it can support heavy weights. [5] Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) cam be used for home construction.
These technologies are generally new but also include old technologies finding new applications. Emerging technologies are often perceived as capable of changing the status quo. Emerging technologies are characterized by radical novelty (in application even if not in origins), relatively fast growth, coherence, prominent impact, and uncertainty ...

This is a list of emerging technologies, which are in-development technical innovations that have significant potential in their applications. The criteria for this list is that the technology must: Exist in some way; purely hypothetical technologies cannot be considered emerging and should be covered in the list of hypothetical technologies ...
