Are structural engineers civil engineers also?
Civil engineers design things. These might be roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, or water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in their designs, from the costs to making sure the structure will stay intact during bad weather. This is one of the oldest types of engineering.Many civil engineers manage people and projects. A civil engineer may oversee a construction site or be a city engineer. Others may work in design, construction, research, and teaching. There are many specialties within civil engineering, such as structural, construction, environment, and transportation.Civil engineers usually work in areas where there is lots of manufacturing and businesses. Often they work at construction sites. Sometimes they work in places that are far away from cities. Most engineers work at least 40 hours per week. Some are required to travel.
What does be civil mean?
To "civilize" is to make civil. The word derives from the Latin word for city. When people began to settle in cities, they needed to adopt new behaviours in order to get along with so many people in such a small space. Such behaviour was "civil", or suitable for the city. It is reasonable to consider that the start of civilization, or city-dwelling, came when agriculture developed to the point where one farmer could feed many people, instead of everyone spending all his or her time finding food for himself or herself. Once people developed the cultivation of grains (wheat, barley, rice, maize) a city could be fed by a few farmers living nearby. For example if you were sitting at the dinner table and your mother said " can you eat like a civilized human being?" that means that you shouldn't shove food in your mouth or chew with your mouth open. You need to do the exact opposite. Being civilized in this case means acting in the socially acceptable way.
What is the building permit?
A building permit is issued to construct almost any building or structure in most cities and counties. It is issued once the plan for the construction has been reviewed for safety per the international building safety codes. The fee paid for the permit is calculated as the average cost of the plan review and the on-site inspections which are done at designated intervals during construction, culminating in a final inspection that approves use or occupancy. Reviews and inspections are conducted by certified professionals acting under a Building Official. Permits are a fee for the services not a tax on an activity. Most real estate transactions require proof of permitted and inspected work - thus the permit is connected to intrinsic value. Design professionals and contractors rely on review and inspections as part of any project; quality, workmanship, and safety are a three-legged stool of modern construction. However, building codes date to ancient times where consequences for poor construction were direct - if someone was injured or died, the builder would be subjected to the same fate! If a contractor suggests that there is no need for permits they, more likely than not, are cutting corners on the project, unqualified, unlicensed, or all of these. As part of permit review most jurisdictions check contractor licenses. In addition, the review also includes a review of the site to insure proper placement and availability of services such as water and sewer. For more information, contact your local building safety department's Building Official.
