Some Environmental Aspects of Civil Engineering

Last decade environmental aspects of civil engineering started to be very important. State of environment became serious and some actions on the global level were undertaken. Proposed action plans and directives had main purpose to slow down, even stop uncontrolled deterioration of environment in general. It means that our way of life and development must be in favour of fture generations. Civil engineering together with phisycal planning and architecture can play significant role. In the field of road construction, industrial and residential buildings, materials, processes of construction itself amd especially hydrotechnics. egineers must be aware that their constructions last a long period of time, most of them cause change of land use and urbanisation. Some of the impacts appear many years after construction was finished ; some of them are indrect and cumulative. Some of the consequences of our structures are benefitial, but they still have impacts on the enviroment. The range of considered environmental impacts includes artificial (manmade)components of the environment as well as natural. So we can speak about aesthetic, cultural, social or historic impact categories. It means that evaluations of the potential impacts necessarilly need to be interdisciplinary.
