We as a Civil Engineer, mostly deal with drawings of structures and documentation for producing report of our Projects and so on. Sometimes, it may so happen that it may not be possible to write some terms on our drawing or on any documentation like preparing report, tenders, bills etc. And so in that case, we may sometimes need to write some terms in abbreviated form like on drawing plan and need to write in abbreviated form as on Index or on separate legends. And as a Civil Engineer, it is our duty and responsibility to know some of the mostly used Abbreviation and its full form. So, here I present you some of the most important and frequently used abbreviation for Civil Engineers and I hope you will use it judiciously. And I hope everyone will find it useful:
