TOP AND UPCOMING DEVELOPMENTS AND TRENDS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING!
Civil Engineering is always an evergreen field and it is poised to undergo a major transition. We should be thankful for the advancement of technology. It is what it is the driving force that is bringing the change in the industry. Apart from that, since the last decade the focus that remained into the smart materials and energy-efficient buildings. Apart from that, there is BIM, virtual reality, IoT and 3D printing technologies that are parallelly gaining a lot of prominences.
Here are a few trends that are upcoming in this category:
VR and AR will become the most used technologies
Well, this had to happen given the domination of these technologies in other fields. Although the technology isn’t new, it is for Civil Engineering. Apart from that, they are forms of immersive media to visualize the results.
Building Information Modeling or BIM will be used in Large Scale Projects
There are so many projects this year that are likely to have a lot of large scale utilization of Cloud Technology. Engineers can now create those virtual models of the designs through the use of these intelligent 3D modeling process. construction of bridges, electricity networks, and superstructures can now gain momentum with the virtual model designs.
Sustainable Designs are the need of the hour so they will rise
Sustainable design is the most important civil engineering trends in the upcoming years. It is being encouraged by global organizations and even the government. The smart materials demand and the intelligent electrical grids, smart buildings with sustainably embedded sensors, and other revolutionary technologies are giving civil engineers the push to innovate some great sustainable designs.
Drones Will Remain important throughout
Drones became increasingly popular in recent times and it is expected that the sales of drones will reach $12billion by 2021. The commercial use of drones has reached a new height and they are making sure to make their presence felt in the civil engineering industry. They are highly influencing the design, development, and surveying of these projects.
