Reference books for GATE of Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is the oldest professional course which deals with the building and designing and maintaining and a physically built environment including works like bridges , canals , roads , dams and buildings and it has been divided into several sub branches as- Geo-technical and Structural , Environmental , Transportation , Surveying , Coastal , Material and Construction Engineering.However , Civil Engineering has made its place at all levels and in public sector it has reached up to federal levels and in private sector from individual homeowners to international companies and has lots of scope and opportunities in the private as well as public sector.The construction Industry is booming as there is tremendous growth in infrastructure and development in various countries and scope is also there in developing countries where infrastructure development is taking a toll and Indian engineers are in demand.
In this article I am going to give you the information about Reference books for GATE of Civil Engineering.
