ABSTRACT

The use of software for easier, effective and economical work is essential now days. It is used in every field of construction under civil engineering. Surveying is an important part of construction. For surveying we are using some softwares like CG-SURVEY for AutoCAD, AutoDesk Field, Survey Geocomp, Systems Foresight, which survey the field. After surveying has been done the major part of construction is estimating the total work. For estimating the constructional work, we have Expert Estimation software. Construction is the basic work of any building. Software makes this problem very easy. Some software are
RISABase, RISAFlooring, RISAMassonary. Final touch to make the building attractive is the

interior designing. It create attractive look and make high impression of the building. Some interior designing softwares are AutoCAD, 3D Studiomax, coral draw. By using this software we can make our construction more accurate, within sufficient time and effective.

INTRODUCTION

In todays world of competition we must have one step ahead of world. According to requirement of time we have to adopt new technique & instrument. But in todays customer wants fast and superior work without thinking of cost. This type of superior work can be achieved by using softwares of construction. Due to use of softwares speed of work and accuracy increases. We have to just feed information in it and we get results in few minutes. As civil engineer in todays world of software, we must have knowledge of software related to construction. There are large numbers of softwares used now a day. By using this software we can construct the planning of any type of building by sitting in one cabin of office. There is no need to go into the field, if we get information about our construction that how to create it.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE`S IN CIVIL ENGINEERING NEEDS OF SOFTWARE Time is an important factor in the word. Previously, there is also lots of construction work done by the skilled engineers. But the major factor is time and accuracy. Today, the lose of time and less accuracy in constructional work is over come by the use of softwares. There are large numbers of software in the world in application of building construction. by the used of software we can make our work more accurate, attractive and within a sufficient time. In earlier decades, the time required for construction of one big building is about 10 to 15 years, but now days the required time for the same work is just about 10 to 15 months. This is possible only by the use of various softwares available in the world of building construction. For construct any design we have to go step by step. These steps are Survey of site & preparation of plan Designing of structure Structural analysis Construction All these steps we have to follow. As we are giving information of softwares of civil engineering we are giving information according to these steps.

Softwares related to Survey and Mapping The Survey/Map module provides facilities for field note capture, adjustment and display. It can be used with a variety of survey equipment and accuracy requirements, including clinometers/compass, theodolite. For fast processing we are now accompanied by various software used in the field of surveying. By using the software related to surveying we could get automatic compass bearing corrections when errors occur due to magnetic anomalies. Calculation of variety of angles can be done. It gives plan view display and plotting of traverses including reference points, labels and stations. Name of software: - CG-SURVEY for AutoCAD Features All calculations performed using full double precision. Coordinates stored in external coordinate base. Alpha/Numeric or Integer point delineation. Flexible interactive inputs from keyboard or screen drawing. Coordinate Point Number protection. User definable working units, including: Metric or Imperial User definable outputs. User definable description tables allow placement of points by description on a specific layer, color, point attribute position and symbol. Interface to/from all major brand data collectors, Robotic Total Stations and GPS equipment. Other Software related to survey 1. AutoDesk Field Survey - a stand-alone land-surveying package for professionals in small- to mid-sized surveying, engineering and land development firms. 2. Geocomp Systems - makers of software to survey, estimate and design and to construct maps or charts, including Geocomp, GeoCalc and Geonav 3. Foresight - integrated computer-aided surveying program for field professionals, by Tripod Data Systems Inc.

Software related to estimating and costing Name of software: - Expert Estimation Features: Expert Estimation is the most efficient and cost effective elemental estimating system available.

Software related to construction of building Building should be constructed in such a way that, maximum constructional work can be done in minimum space. For getting this, various software are used world wide for maximum and fasted construction. We can get graphic display of the model, along with applied loads and rendering. It gives the working stress design of beams, columns and both in-plane and out-of-plane walls. 1. Name: - RISABase (Version 1.02) Basic Features Loads - You can apply vertical, shear and moment loads in both directions simultaneously. RISABase will calculate an accurate biaxial solution using finite element analysis. You no longer have to settle for a possibly incorrect "approximate" biaxial solution, or even worse, designing for biaxial loading by combining two separate uniaxial analyses.
