 INTRODUCTI
ON
There are a variety of software programs which
are available for the different specialized
disciplines of civil engineering. Most civil
engineers practice in specialized subsets of civil
engineering, such as geotechnical engineering,
structural engineering, transportation
engineering, hydraulic engineering
,environmental engineering, project and
construction management and land surveying.

NEED OF SOFTWARE'S IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

The trend to implement software programs

into the civil engineering industry began as
educational concerns. Today, these concerns
and trends are centered around the
continuing education unit which have become
required as part of maintaining the
professional license. As a result of the
expanding use and demand for these
software programs, there was less necessity
for occupations such as draftsman, because
the engineer began to prepare and input the
design parameters into the program, thus
eliminating the need for manual drafting.

WHAT ARE CIVIL ENGINEERING

SOFTWARES ?
Civil engineering softwares are the
softwares which helps civil engineers to plan,
Implement, and execute any kind work or project
without facing any problems and if any then to eliminate
those problems.

TYPES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING SOFTWARES

1. System software
2. Application softwares

SMARTPHONE APPS FOR CIVIL

ENGINEERING
As technology is evolving and by
taking advantage of smartphone technology, developers
have been able to create innovative mobile apps that do
everything from simple calculations to 3-D designs and
architectural renderings. Although construction
management mobile apps are available as far as
technology and features are concerned, they all serve
the same general purpose, which is to serve the needs
of professionals working in the construction industry.

SIMULATION AND VIRTUAL

REALITY
Normally, three-dimensional
(3-D) geometric models, which are used to present
architectural and engineering works, show only their
final form, not allowing the visual simulation of their
physical increasing. The models concerning
construction needs to be able to produce changes of
the geometry of the project. But by using these
simulating softwares we can experience the work
environment in real time. Some of the simulation
softwares are given below.

SIMULATION SOFTWARES
1. Civil Engineering Simulator
2. Construction Simulator
3. RobotStructural Analysis Professional
4. Building Simulator pro

REMOTE SENSING, GIS , GPS

SOFTWARE'S
The rapid development and
integration of spatial technologies such as Geographic
Information Systems, the Global Positioning System, and
remote sensing, have created many new tools for
Extension professionals, but have also widened the
"digital divide," leaving many with little understanding of
the technology and potential applications. And extension
related applications of GIS-GPS-RS technologies and
discusses how to go about learning more and determining
if these technologies would be useful in civil engineering.

SCOPE OF LEARNINIG SOFTWARES IN

INDIA
India's construction industry is such
an important part of the economy
which has led to a need of good
software to solve construction
related issues. India remains as one
of the major focuses of the
Engineering Software vendors where
apart from the need for Indian
projects, many Indian design and
outsourcing firms work with foreign
designs and drawing jobs also where
software are essentially required.
