Foundation engineer : The foundation engineer is concerned with the earth's support of any construction project. He must be familiar with soils and their behavior under stress, and with the effects of water and air on soils and rocks. He provides design data to the structural engineer so that the latter can design the structure based on correct support data.  2, record 3, English, - foundation%20engineering

Whereas published standard specifications are commonplace with government and other agencies, master specifications are useful tools for design organizations that serve private clients. A master specification covers a particular item of construction, such as excavation and embankment, concrete structures, or structural steel. It contains requirements for all possible conditions and construction that can be anticipated for that particular item. Master specifications are prepared in-house... When applying a master specification to a specific project, the specifications engineer deletes those requirements that do not apply to the project. Thus, use of a master specification not only effects a reduction in the time required to produce a contract specification but serves as a check-list and minimizes errors and omissions.  1, record 4, English, - master%20specifications

Que ce soit dans le cadre d'une entreprise ou d'un bureau d'ingénieur-conseil, l'ingénieur du bureau d'études est celui qui conçoit l'ouvrage. C'est grâce à lui que les techniques évoluent et progressent. Il exécute des calculs parfois difficiles et doit choisir les solutions les plus élégantes pour résoudre les problèmes de construction qui lui sont posés. Suivant l'importance du bureau d'études, il dirige un nombre variable de calculateurs, projeteurs, dessinateurs, métreurs.  2, record 5, French, - ing%C3%A9nieur%20d%27%C3%A9tudes

The proportioning of members to carry loads in a structure in the most economical way. A structural design is carried out in two main parts, the first being a rough estimate of the loads with the structural analysis. When the structural analysis is checked and found satisfactory the loads are more accurately estimated. The second half of the design consists of the proportioning of the members according to the calculations of the first half, together with the adjustment of the original calculations to any final altered sizes of parts. This is the main work of a structural engineer, since most conventional building types have been sufficiently analysed and need no further analysis in the drawing office.  2, record 6, English, - structural%20design
