Civil engineering applications have a wide spread demand with growing and emerging economies building capacity and infrastructure rapidly. Civil engineering and building industry are an integral part of the development of human society as they involve the planning, design, building, operation and maintenance of infrastructure. Historically, major developments in structural engineering have only been possible because of parallel developments in the technology of construction materials.
