+++ Evolving Civil Engineering +++

Japan's early civil engineering projects used modern western civil engineering techniques. Later, however, Japanese techniques rapidly evolved in line with the country's post-war period of high growth. Many innovative Japanese technologies have been developed in recent years through participation in large projects, and Japanese standards are now among the highest in the world.
