 Introduction to Civil Engineering

 Engineering is the application of mathematics, science, economics and social and

practical knowledge to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research and improve
structures, machines, tools, systems, components, materials, processes, solutions and
organization.(Most efficient and economical).
 Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design

and construction of the physical and natural built environment, including works such as
bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.
 Civil Engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it

was defined to distinguish it from military engineering.

 Sub-Discipline: Environmental engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Structural

engineering, Transportation engineering, Water resources engineering, Materials

engineering, Coastal engineering, Surveying, Urban planning, Construction engineering

 Introduction to Mechanics
The principles of Mechanics are used in various fields, like
stability and strength of structures, fluid flow, rocket and
spacecraft design etc.
Mechanics is the oldest of physical sciences.
The early history of Mechanics is:
➢ Archimedes principle of buoyancy and principle of lever (287-
212 B.C)
➢Laws of vector combination of forces by Stevinus ( 1548-1620
A.D)
➢ Dynamic problem investigation by Galelo (1564-1642 A.D)
➢ Formulation of laws of motion and law of gravitation by
Newton. ( 1642-1727 A.D)

Principles of Rigid body mechanics often provide the beginning steps in analyzing these
internal stresses, and resulting deformations. These will be studied in courses called
Mechanics of Solids (also known as Strength of Materials or Mechanics of Materials).

• Mass is a measure of the inertia of a body, which is its

resistance to a change of velocity.
• Mass of a body affects the gravitational attraction force
between it and other bodies.

The standard value for gravitational acceleration g is its value at

sea level and at a 45o latitude . In the two systems these values are
g=9.80665 m/s2 and g=32.1740 ft/s2 in SI and FPS respectively .

43 By: Engr Abdus Salam

 1kg = 2.2046 lbm
1 lbm = ½.2046 kg = 0.45359 kg
Now 1 lbf = 1 lbm x 9.8 m/s2
1 lbf = 0.45359 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 4.448 N
1 lbf = 1 Slug . 1 ft/s2
4.448N = 1 Slug x 0.3048 m/s2
14.59 N/(m/s2) = 1 Slug
Or 1 Slug = 14.59 Kg
