INTRODUCTION

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 SOFTWARE’S ?

Civil engineering software’s are the software’s

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.

SMARTPHONE APP’S 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 software’s we can experience the work environment in real

time. Some of the simulation software’s are given below.

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.
